Embarassing question but I am sure you ladies will be able to help out ...

July 22, 2008

Ok, at what point in your pregnancy did sex become just uncomfortable? I am 24 weeks with twins and am already not enjoying sex at all and believe me I want it (I am starting to feel like Meghan lol!!).

I cant go on the bottom because my belly is in the way, I cant go on top because my belly makes it difficult....we can do it sideways or doggy style but it just doesnt feel very good.

Also, I think I am starting to develop hemmroids from the pressure of the babies and that just doesnt help....I am honestly sexually frustrated because I really really really want it but cant find pleasure in any position.....ughh...please help.

July 22, 2008

We got to the point of having to do it doggie style or sideways probably around 25-30 weeks or so.....

I agree.. it doesn't feel nearly as good.. but.. I'll tell you what we did to fix that.. sorry if this offends anyone... I know we've had some issues here in the past with people getting offended, so I apologize ahead of time. Normally in the doggie or sidelying position, dh will reach his hand around and make sure the important parts get attention, but, since his arm didn't quite fit around me anymore, I took care of that job myself with a vibrator. It definitely took the frustration out of the limited positions...

Actually.. I almost forgot.. right before I delivered, we were really sick of those 2 positions, so dh sat in a kitchen chair, and I sat on his lap facing him... and our chairs are the perfect height... and that was the BEST that sex had felt since we couldn't do it anyway we wanted anymore.

Sorry if thats TMI for anyone.. but you asked and I'm tellin!!! :) :)

July 22, 2008

Thanks for that Meghan I really appreciate it! We tried the sitting up thing also but my belly just really gets in the way. What also doesnt help is the fact that I have collostrum already (have since week 15) and when I get aroused it seems to come out more. So...when doing things face to face such as a sitting positions my breasts are in DHs face and he gets collostrum all over lol. Sorry I know TMI but it is true lol. Maybe we will try the kitchen chair thing! I dont have a vibrator but I am seriously considering getting one lol!

July 22, 2008

Liane- I was going to suggest what Meghan did.. the chairs.. It will allow you closeness of DH, but also give you some more room to get the job done.. or on your side, try putting a pillow in front of you and kinda under the side you are laying on that might help...

July 22, 2008

Oh leave it to Megan- LOL

I also think that the height of a bed can work- you can ly on your back and DH can stand- our bed that works perfectly- but I do think our bed is kinda high.

Good luck LIane, and I feel ya!!

July 22, 2008

Thats a good one Lori- Liane lay on your back and DH can stand infront of you... that might work
Use_it

July 22, 2008

Liane....Have DH sit in the chair then you turn your back to him and do the deed! Kinda like you are not facing him! It will work and you will love it! And listen...we are all gals and all TTC so obviusly we are all doing it so don't worry about offending me!!! LOL

July 22, 2008

You ladies are wonderful!!!! What would I do without you!! Tonight I am going to try some of these out and see what works best!!! Thanks again!!!!

July 22, 2008

Haha you ladies are soo funny, Lori that bed thing works all the time. Hubby and I did it before pregnancy and now, but it wasnt always the bed, sometimes couch and he would be on knees or something.

Liane wishing you some relief soon...hehe....OH OH OH...hubby and I are getting that KY Jelly his and hers stuff very soon. I keep meaning to get some. Is it ok to use during pregnancy, anyone know? I want to try it soo badly after seeing commercials...haha. Anyone tried it?

July 22, 2008

LOL,, YOU LADIES CRACK ME UP! ESP. MEGHAN! HA

July 22, 2008

I never tried it! We are still on the veggie oil kick! DH prefers it to KY!

July 22, 2008

We prefer stuff over KY as well, but this stuff seems AWESOME. There is a Gel for the guy and a Gel for the girl, and when they combine apparently something magical happens and dagit I wanna know how that magical feeling of that combination feels...haha. Im making Brannon pick some up after work now...haha. I will let everyone know how it goes...haha.

July 22, 2008

Here is a link to the stuff

http://www.ky.com/index_us.jsp#

July 22, 2008

LOL Jolene those commercials for that make it look like fireworks happen when boy and girl come together! LOL the comercial is so cute and certaintly makes you wanna run out and get it!

July 22, 2008

Ive heard of that KY for his and hers- sounds fun. But for some reason I thought to wait until after pregnancy-? NO CLUE WHY it is probably safe.

We still use veggie oil too Liane! LOL

July 22, 2008

Haha Caryn and Lori it does look great, and I really want to get some. Anyone know for sure if its safe during pregnancy.

Guess I need to make a post for Dr. Q...haha. I really really want to try the stuff.

July 22, 2008

Yeah- ok I gotta know too!

July 22, 2008

Haha I have read reviews from another site and lots hated it, so maybe we wont get it. It says the girls is a cooler or freezing sensation and the guys feels like burning or something, kinda freaked me out. So maybe not gonna try this...haha.

July 22, 2008

We tried a "hot" sensation one once and it was awful!!! DH and I were both scrambling to the bathroom to wash it off. It was not pleasant lol!! Talk about killing the mood!

July 22, 2008

Ouchie, not fun at all and totally mood ruining moment!

July 22, 2008

LOL- yeah I think Im gonna stick with my veggie oil and enjoy LOL :)

July 22, 2008

Liane, try laying on your side at the edge of the bed and have DH stand up. I'm not preggo yet, and this is my favorite position. = )

July 22, 2008

oh Liane, I had to chuckle when I read that! Poor things, I bet you can laugh about that now!

July 22, 2008

I agree with Laura!!! ( ;

This is what we had to do when I was pregnant with my son a couple years ago. By week 35 though, that was it for me. week 35-42 (i was two weeks overdue) was just way too uncomfortable!!

Best of luck!

July 22, 2008

I am 19 weeks now and it is just starting to get uncomfertable..I 100% agree with meg get a vibrator and do some parts your self..hehe i love mine :)

also alot of oral can work..good luck

July 22, 2008

I agree With Melissa Vibrator and Oral Sex LOL!!!

July 22, 2008

Liane.. if the chair isn't comfortable, try bringing the chair up near your bed, or close to a wall, something you can lean back into or grab onto... if you can handle bending backwards like that...

But yeah.. a vibrator is a great idea!! I know a really great online site if you want to get it taht way.. they are really inexpensive... and I can recommend a few good products :)

As far as the colostrum... go get some nursing pads, slip them in a bra, and wear your bra during sex. Its weird at first... but my dh is totally grossed out by anything coming out of the bbs so... we've used the bra all but one time now that i'm nursing

Oral sex is also a great idea.. just be careful that he doesn't blow into you.. other than that... great idea! Thats how my poor dh survived during my pelvic rest, and six week post partum period lol :)

July 22, 2008

Wow!! Great ideas! This is awesome! I sent the DH a text at work telling him that I have some "new" positions for us to try out and sent him a wink!!! ;)

July 22, 2008

Liane, before I was pregnant I always liked the one where I laid on the couch and dh was standing. That one works good now too...lol...but I definately agree with Meghan, go for a vibrator. I have a good website too, they have some very good ones...lol

Meghan, you and I sound alike when it comes to sex....can't get enough...lol

July 22, 2008

LOL Fergie. Its funny how many women I've met who are like me about it.... for the longest time I thought I was some sort of freak or something, because I've never known another female who enjoyed it as much as I do.. haha... I'm glad to know I'm not some freak of nature.. hahahaha

Although, I must say I'm jealous... I've only got to BD twice since I had Christian. (8 1/2 weeks ago) and I'm dying to BD... but stupid bleeding wants to stop and start stop and start. It's only stopped at a convenient time twice now!!!!

July 22, 2008

Awww Meghan dont you worry that bleeding will regulate itself soon enough!! By the way, if you dont mind me asking, how was it the first time afterwards? Was it quite painful?

July 22, 2008

it hurt a little only b/c i wasnt very wet b/c of bf'ing and dh refused to use lube. but my midwife says the reason it usually hurts is the scar tissue on the opening of the vagina wear the perineam starts.. and I didn't tear at all right there. So, I had no scar tissue to speak of. Considering you are having twins,and they are usually smaller than full term babies, i'd say your chances of not tearing are good

July 22, 2008

Ohhh, I just found this post and I read from the very beginning all the way till end...this is fun! hehehe! Liane, like Meghan, my first time after having Bella was also kinda uncomfy. We also used that KY warming gel but UGH! That thing burn!! And it ruined the mood big time. Aside from that, we couldn't concentrate because Bella kept farting loud while we were doing it. hahaha! When dh put that warming KY on me, I screamed...it didn't only burn but it kinda stung down there. Well, a couple days after, I got a UTI again...I suspect it was from that KY too because after that stupid gel, it kinda hurt when I peed. Hmp!

July 22, 2008

Btw, Meghan, you didn't give us the site where you get your vibrator. I really want to try one. I was supposed to order one last week, but I totally forgot about it. It's our wedding anniversary tomorrow and I wanted to surprise hubby too. I've heard that the "bullet" vibrator can be used for male and female. Is that what you're using, Meghan?

July 22, 2008

Ive seen a vibrator called a "Rabbit"

http://www.therabbitvibrator.com/

Check that puppy out!

July 22, 2008

Ladies... the rabbit is totally awesome. You wont use another vibrator after you try that one! :)

July 22, 2008

Meghan I thought that I was a freak too...lol...I'm so glad to see that there are more like me out there.

Ladies I totally agree, the rabbit it the only one to get..lol

July 22, 2008

the rabbit is so GREAT! It got me threw john and I living in different citys for 8 months he was only home every 14-21 days..but toether he loves to use it on me..what fun!!

and meg.I am glade too that other girls love it as much as me..I have always been the one wanting it more and ALOT I always thought it was just me :)

Good Luck Liane hope you have a fun night

July 22, 2008

Hey Liane...my dh and I really didn't much after I got bigger. I hated it b/c not only did I not really want too ,but I was huge and didn't feel remotely sexy. Honey whatever works for you..if you find a position that is great for you and that you want to then do it....if you don't then don't. Your dh will understand! Take care and hugs to you and the twins.

Lexi and everyone else....the bullet has been great and even when I didn't want to have sex b/c I was huge it came in handy! LOL!

July 22, 2008

Hey Fran, same here. There was a time that I didn't want to do it because I didn't feel sexy at all. My stomach was in the way no matter what. We still bd even on my 9th month, but the only comfortable position was having him from behind and we lie on our sides. It feels really weird when the baby was moving in my tummy while we were doing it. Bella was probably thinking--"What the heck is going on out there? I'm trying get some sleep in here!" LOL!

I mentioned to dh about getting a bullet and he teased me saying we could use our cellphones in vibrate mode instead. haha!

July 22, 2008

A vibrator is the only way to go!!! WE love ours!

July 22, 2008

I haven't tried one yet, but after reading this post, I really2x want to have one. hehe! I'm excited! :-D

July 22, 2008

If you want a multi purpose vibrator instead of using the cell phone get a ravor that vibrates and take off the blade. May sound a little weird but it works and men love the fact that when the shave afterwards they can smell pussy.

July 22, 2008

I also heard that those battery operated toothbrushes do the trick too...lol

July 22, 2008

LOL!! You ladies really crack me up!!! This is great information though and I appreciate it all!! Thanks!

July 22, 2008

I agree the rabbit is awesome... (a little too big for me though) but you don't want to get the rabbit to use if you are using it along with sex... a bullet or pocket rocket is the best thing to use in combo with actual sex.

July 23, 2008

Hey Liane just checking in, hope all worked out!

July 23, 2008

Yea Liane....how was your dancing last night?LOL!!! No need for baby dancing anymore, just dancing!

July 23, 2008

July 23, 2008

Really Sarah? You should try it... if you and dh are up for being a bit adventurous.

I know so much about them b/c I've used lots of them. :) I've always been adventurous, and so I've tried lots of different kinds of toys....

July 23, 2008

Oh, and Liane.. my body finally cooperated for a few hours last night, and dh and I got to do a little dancing ourselves, finally! haha :)

July 23, 2008

Jay says he's gonna get me a few drinks and have his way with me. He says I'm unihibited when I've had a few. LMAO...what????? He's so crazy! Not me!!! ;)

July 23, 2008

July 23, 2008

You guys are funny..sar you NEED to get one I bought my first one like 8 years ago..but I am a bit of a sex addict..at lest my dh says so..but truly very fun..

July 23, 2008

Sar, it would be a great investment. And this is coming from me and I'm a "quiet one" LOL. You'll wonder why you didn't get one earlier. ; )

July 23, 2008

Omg, you all need to p. msg me I have questions, too embarrassed to post in here. lmao!

July 23, 2008

Sar I have a great website and the stuff comes discreatly packaged. It's really great you definately need one...lol

July 23, 2008

Sar.... I was too embarassed to go into a store to buy one. So I ordered one online at Ambiance.com and it comes in a non marked package, so no one will know. If that helps :)

July 23, 2008

lol you guys, my dh would be in heaven.

July 23, 2008

hahaha.....listen the site I use is adameve.com...you can make your dh proud...lol

July 23, 2008

I'll give it a lookie and see.

July 23, 2008

Yay!!!! We are bringing you to the freaky side...lol

July 23, 2008

I used to be a rep for Spice of Life which does home parties for ladies only. Very tasteful. Lingerie and toys. The rabbit was probably the best. May be a little out there for the apprehensive though. The silver bullet is great to use when you are with DH. I think they may have a website and I will try to get it for you. I was also shocked last nite to see a commercial for something made by Trojan (the condom co.) it was late nite tv but I actually had to do a double take because it was just a regular tv station advertising toys!! Definitely becoming more mainstream? Obviously I am not a prude but couldn't help but think that may be uncomfortable if I happened to be watching tv with my dad or daughter.
