I'm a very sexual being. My partner and I were having very regular and enjoyable sex up until about 3 months ago due to pelvic pain, heavy load of a baby and just the shaking up uncomfortable-ness I get during sex whether he or I are on top.
We have tried so many positions but good lord it's not enjoyable at all and usually ends with me in pain or just uncomfortable.
I'm seriously getting very down about not being intimate or feeling any decent physical connection because we can kiss during sex most time because baby bump.
Any advice ladies? Seriously over it and feeling so low in self confidence.

I’ve found this too! Only think that I can really find comfortable is both lying on your side... hopefully something works for you xx

I know it’s hard to find a really good position that feels good during pregnancy. I miss being able to have my husband on top really close to me and us being able to kiss during. We have been doing the spooning position most often lately. You’re not the only one!! We will have our babies in our arms soon and probably miss our baby bellies lol!

Babe we haven't had sex for the entire pregnancy lol my partner won't go near me because he's scared of hurting baby lol.. We tried the only day and tbh I found every position painful because of my pelvic pain.. Most comfortable position is spooning xx

Yeah finding third trimester sex uncomfortable. It's frustrating when you want to enjoy it, but it's so difficult to make it feel good. Have only found one position that's doable - lying on front with pillow wedged under pelvis so bump isn't squished

i havent had sex for months i have zero sex drive plus my partner said it is wierd as he will be bobbibg about in there😂

Maybe if the jostling of sex is too uncomfortable, you could try mutual masturbation. Then you could lie side by side and kiss as well.

On the same boat.
Havent donr for couple of month as it was so uncomfortable last time. Im 38 weeks now

I find being on all fours and quite low down so knees wide apart really comfortable, I’ve got hip pain too but it’s sciatic so the position actually helps but not sure for other type of hip pain. That’s our go to now (I’m 33 weeks), but really miss being able to kiss, but every time we try it just gets funny because the bump is in the way 😆

We did masturbation postpartum and sex was laying on our side or bent over. It wasn’t the best cause my belly was so big but it worked! There are ways to be intimate with toys and foreplay with out having entercourse. It’ll get better, best of luck!!

Laying down with the man as the big spoon in snuggle position was the easiest for us lol

Me and my husband had hardly and sex when I was pregnant, especially in the last trimester. I was tired uncomfortable and had pelvic pain too, and he felt uncomfortable with the big bump. Just do what ever makes you comfortable, even if that's not having sex.
Spooning sex was the main thing we did xxx

We got to the point where standing up with me propping myself up on my forearms on the bed was the only way we could be intimate.

So when i was in the third trimester I would usually be on my knees with my knees slightly spread (just enough for my belly to rest on them comfortably) and I would put a pillow or two under my breasts so they wouldn't move all around and it wouldn't hurt or be uncomfortable (after I got used to it anyway lol). The only other position I would find relativly comfortable was the spooning with our body pillow in front of me supporting my bump.

Same here 😐 its been a struggle since the bump has gotten so big. Im 33 weeks, and its to the point where i feel horrible about wanting to be intimate. Doggy is about the only way we can do it, and even then if he goes to rough, it hurts. I deff miss non-pregnant sex lol

We just snuggle now but are very intimate with light kisses. sex is pretty much off the cards We just don’t find it fun we used to be wild but became limited to one position and it wasn’t enjoyable also my man doesn’t really like the idea of hurting the baby even though it’s safe it bothers him. It’s been a good test to our relationship and I look at the positives. My man is going to get his tongue pierced after I give birth as a present to me so when we both heal we can get freaky again. Something to look forward to rather than feeling like it will be like this forever. We both agreed we can do ourselves in the meantime but we haven’t brought that up since.

I feel this! Throughout pregnancy we’ve kept up with our regular intimacy and not much has changed. I’m 33 weeks now and it’s really starting to get me down, we’ve gone from a few times a week to maybe once if I can cope. Between trying to find a comfortable position and generally feeling big and uncomfortable. And then knowing you can’t have sex for a few weeks after birth, so I’m trying to keep up with it whilst we have the option.
The best I’ve found so far is spooning position, having my partner sit down and being on top but reverse (this takes it out of my legs so it doesn’t last long!) or being on my knees on the sofa holding onto the back and supporting bump whilst having my partner behind!
Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you guys ❤️🙌 xx

You don't have to kiss during sex. Kiss before sex, like foreplay, then easiest position is side lying.
