Sex during pregnancy
Show your support
Honestly, we've done it once since our honeymoon. Only found out 2 weeks after coming home. My libido has been non-existent due to all that comes with pregnancy. I was anxious, and i was super sensitive/tender for the rest of the night and the following day after. So it's creeped me out a bit😂 xx
This is reassuring, thanks for the replies - I know it can’t just be me but I feel bad about how anxious I am sometimes. We are going through so much though that I guess it’s only natural x
It's normal to feel anxious, especially with such big changes going on. But you're also allowed to not be in the mood, have a low libido due to hormone changes or sickness, and be worried about it not feeling right or uncomfortable at any part to your pregnancy. Obviously, it sucks and guys will definitely feel the loss. But there are many ways to be intimate with each other, and it definitely doesn't always need to be sexytime🤣. It also may not last, I know friends who loved doing the naked tango once they got to the second trimester😉. Just do what works for you and communicate the best you can💗 xx
My midwife said this is completely normal!! I asked her about it yesterday and she was explaining that we’re more vascular down there so we can sometimes have a bit of spotting after sex but that it’s also completely normal to struggle to be intimate that eventually you’ll feel a bit more at ease over it all x
