i've begun to notice lately that my stomach is beginning to get in the way, esp in my favorite position. :(
the second fave is too awkward, too. i feel too heavy to move sufficiently.
i've never really been able to 'finish' in any other position...
did anyone else have this problem?
how did you resolve it?

my husband is getting self conscious about it, even though i tell him that it's because of my bump & not anything he is or isn't doing.
i feel bad :(

Try these positions: sideways, on top, or doggie. These provide access with a *little* tweaking, so you should be able to 'finish'.
Its important to remember to relax, and that sex is supposed to be fun! Here's a breathing technique to try with your man. It's actually greeeat foreplay too.
1. Settle into the position you want to try.
2. If you're close enough, listen for each others heartbeat.
3. Each find your own breath, and get comfortable with it.
4. Once your comfortable with with your own breathing pattern, listen to your partners closely.
5. Try to breathe in sync together for a however long you like (try at least a minute though!).
6. Now, listen to your hearts again, they may be beating together!
You will have to make adjustments as time goes along and you get bigger. Have fun trying out new spots, like the pool table, or better yet, in a pool!
You *might* get stronger O's too, thanks to hormones, so enjoy!

I have not enjoyed sex much since being pergnant and I really do miss it. My husband went thru the same thing, but now as I get bigger he can tell that the positions due to the belly are the problem, he'll come around. Talk to him about it when you are not having sex. Don't feel bad, your body is working hard to make this baby and if it was a mutual decision you both have to compromise and be happy baby is on the way, you made baby with much love and you will be able to make that kind of love again after he is born.

I'm 39 weeks and having more sex than ever. For us, part of the fun is how challenging it is. We really laugh and enjoy eachother, and it's given us a new type of closeness. We're always testing out new positions, and we have a great reason to- a lot of the other ones don't work. It took me a little time to get over the fact that I feel awkward and a little unattractive, but once I told my husband those were my concerns, he reassured me that he still thinks I'm beautiful and sexy, and it just opened us up. So just be honest with him, and don't be afraid to be silly! Sex is supposed to be fun :)

I'm 37 weeks and having the same problem. Yes the side position is a little more comfortable, but if you cant "finish" that way it can get just as frustrating... Maybe you should invest in some kind of toy to help you get there. "bullets" are really good toys to have, pregnant or not.

Honestly, YES! It becomes harder and harder to.... Climax, or even to get into a position that is comfortable for more than a minute or two...
Experiment, just try new things. This is a good time to try out new things, thats the only way your going to find what works for you. (personally doggy style with me on my elbows and pillows under my bulge helped us a LOT)
Here are some sites you can read to give you some ideas :

Good luck! The best advice I can give you is don't give up or get frustrated! You will work it out!

I hear doggy style is the best, and if you can't finish that way, have hubby finish you off with his mouth.
I agree with Jab... although I'm not pregnant bullets do help during sex or masturbation, and during sex they don't really get in the way. Sometimes they are undetectable in the right position.

The woman on top position, and laying on your side is best for pregnant women. Do what feels comfortable. If it doesn't, I wouldn't recommend having sex. Also, speak with your doctor about tips for this. He might not recommend you having sex, or he might. Never know. Good luck.

regrettably, if it hurts, it hurts. there is no longer something you're able to do some infant being interior your physique. yet i've got stumbled on that the two pup type, or mendacity on our facets (like spooning) are the main bearable. yet while those do no longer paintings for you, it may be time to stand the information.

to be honest you are just going to have to find a position that is comfortable for yu.. my friend had the same problem.. she jus had to wait till she had the baby.. i mean she still tried to have sex but it just doesnt feel the same until after you have the baby
