Yeah, spooning is completely comfortable, I just like on top! : Sex without it just isn't the same!

Sex has gotten a bit uncomfortable though, even me on top makes my belly feel really uncomfortable.
Yeah, DH tries to act like he's just trying to help ripen my cervix... I told him the other night that all I really needed was his semen, so if he wanted to help he could just "get himself ready" and give me that and not worry about prolonging the sex part. That didn't thrill him much.

There is no comfortable position at this point. My back and legs have been KILLING me, so it's impossible to get comfortable. Plus, (probably TMI) the pressure of sex makes me have to pee and fart... Talk about a mood killer! I either have to get up part way thru and pee or I have to stop him every few minutes and close my legs so I don't fart.

Man, I can't wait to have my body back to myself. I'm so gross right now, it isn't even funny! Along with the gas, constant trips to the bathroom and weight gain, my feet are swollen up like balloons and my hormones are making my body so weird. I'm getting hair in weird places (like my face) and sweating more. I gross myself out. :

LOL, you gals are cracking me up! I never got the sex thing either - I felt like a beached whale by the time I got close to labor. The last thing I wanted was sex. And when we tried, I was so swollen and huge, I could barely feel him! I was like - just hurry up, I don't want to do this!

hEy this is making me think of something that happened to me before, where sex caused me extreme cramping and pain for several hours. It was a huge bummer because I was on vacation too.

BUT (TMI warning) here's what happened.

I was slightly constipated on this trip. It'd been a couple days since a movement. After sex one evening, I went to get up and collapsed back in bed in pain. There was tremendous pressure and pain in my butt and in my vagina. The first thought that went through my head was that he had some how broken my cervix! LOL!. I had horrible pms like cramps -- especially in my lower back. Walking made everything feel so much worse.

In the end we decided that the sex further compacted my poop, painfully, and that my colond had some kind of freeze up/cramp. I made myself keep moving, somehow it loosened up and several hour later I was able to poo and felt immediate relief.

Haha. I think pregnancy is our body's way of keeping our DP/DHs away from us for awhile after we give birth. I know that DH has been asking less and less the grosser I get and I don't think he'll be lurking around the bed anytime soon after the birth either.

It's funny, but since he's been gloving up, lubing up and doing cervical checks on me (with mucous plug coming out, to boot) I asked him if he was ever going to be able to sleep with me again. He EVENTUALLY said yes, but it was more like a "What choice to I have?" kind of yes... Sheesh.

My Dh was like that too Kristi! I kept trying to get him to check my dilation when I was at 42 weeks with my 2nd dc and I could never convince him! He was like, NO way. Your DH is a trooper!!

Jes -- Make sure you are very well hydrated. Drink lots of water. I know I got dehydrated with my 2nd baby at the end and it did weird things to me -- cramping & stuff like that.

GL!!

Okay, girl. You're having a baby and you're in a forever relationship. Lose some of that modesty. Sure, jump up to pee, but otherwise, just rip the ol' farts and giggle afterwards. That's what we do and the hubster says he only loves me more. LOL!

That's hilarious.

I've farted on him a few times, but since I've been pregnant it's REALLY bad. I mean lots of gas and very stinky. The little noisy, but stink-free farts are good for laughs, but if we both have to sit around smelling the funk for 3-4 minutes it makes it hard to just keep going.

DH and I have some gross bodily fluid type stories. If I didn't think you all would shun me I could tell some wild tales. Poor DH didn't think I could be grosser... :

So funny! DH is never the initiator in our relationship. The other night he says "why don't you take a shower, your pits are kind of stinky.." Well, I was tired, and I said, "oh, I'm pregnant, I'll just be stinking again in the morning, I just want to go to bed. I take a shower in the morning." Well, then we're in bed and I discover *why* he wanted me to take a shower! So I kept my arms tight to my sides!

Yea....normal farts, maybe. Pregnancy alfalfa-tablet farts......NOW THAT'S the way to clear a room.

No, clear a house!!


Sheesh, the houseplants are wilting!!

Ok, that made me laugh hard enough to almost wet myself!
I was told the other day that I smelled like chili!

It actually hurt my feelings a little!!

I mean, I didn't get pregnant all on my own. And, is he forgetting that my sense of smell has increased by about 1000%. So not only are my own smells more offensive but it wouldn't hurt if he'd shower twice a day too!!

Chili?! I'm convinced I'm having a girl, because I have a weird "meaty" smell. I remember that smell from dd, but I didn't have it with ds. DH can't smell it, but I do. Weird, huh?

Aww. I feel you. DH tries to be understanding but I know I stink all the time. I have a twice a day regimine for cleaning my "personal" area now that I didn't used to have to have pre-pregnancy. I feel really gross.

DH hasn't said anything really ugly, but he has commented on my clothes. He's tired of me wearing sweat pants!!! I'm so huge at this point, my maternity pants roll under my belly... and don't even get me started on underwear! I've been going commando for weeks! But seriously, how cute can I look when the only shoes that fit are flip flops, the only pants that fit are sweats, I can't reach my legs to shave and 2 hours after taking a shower I reak?? Not to mention the gas, body hair, waddling and grunting to get out of bed. No, I'm not particularly sexy now. I don't like it anymore that DH does!

Grrr...: Now I'll have to give him a dirty look when he comes home...

THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one... Pre-preg farts were cute (well, cute for farts) and not really stinky. Now they're loud, long and TERRIBLE smelling. They make me sick and usually I don't mind my own brand, if you know what I mean.

Why is that? Why does pregnancy make you stink? Too weird...

Oh wow! How did we get this started! I haven't laughed this hard all day!


We're busy talking about farts and pits and hair we can't reach anymore (and I had to have help getting my shoes on today, thanks!) and somewhere out there jes is trying, hoping to give birth...maybe...sorta....soon...well, are you?

Oh! I remember how it got started! Go have sex! Right!
