TMI... I was reading the FFFC in General Discussion...and I realized I am now in the phase where I cannot fathom having sex. Like, the thought of anyone touching me makes me cringe. And I've been on pelvic rest for like 2 months now...not really missing it. We had sex at some point in my mid second tri and not again since. H is pretty anti pregnancy sex once the belly shows up and I don't miss it at all right now.

Which double sucks cause I feel like a beached whale.

I can't wait to get my libido back H has been super understanding...and I've been giving him enough "action" from time to time. But I have zero interest in any foreplay anymore. Literally...do not touch me.

H is pretty anti pregnancy sex once the belly shows up and I don't miss it at all right now. This is pretty much us too. No sex during the first tri because we were terrified and I had lots of spotting. Then, I think we tried twice in the second tri and H wasn’t super into it because he was still nervous. Once the belly showed up, it was a total no-go.

We had really bad sex a few weeks ago. Like, just bad for everyone involved. I'm pretty sure all of the progesterone has broken my vagina. DH has now accepted his sexless life. Though, with an official induction date, he has started counting down to the day when sex may once again be a possibility.

I'm the opposite right now. After being on pelvic rest for 10 weeks, I want sex! Even my dreams have been about sex...with my own husband, not a celebrity. I'm sure if we were actually allowed to do it I wouldn't physically be able to. Sigh.

And I've been on pelvic rest for like 2 months now...not really missing it. This is me, but take away pelvic rest and go back to starting somewhere around 20 weeks. Add hemis and I’m absolutely out even if my mind thinks I’m in. I just get crampy at the thought.

I’m not sure the shots would be better, just a bit less icky feeling maybe? Anyway added progesterone sucks for more than things actually related to the baby.

And I've been on pelvic rest for like 2 months now...not really missing it. I had an increase in sex drive Until 2 weeks ago. Now it's crashed and gone. We tried the other night and I ended up in tears it hurt so bad. I feel like my whole vagina is swollen. It feels like it when I sit even, just like after labour before that's it swollen.

Ouch, I'm sorry. Have you been checked yet? I'm assuming my OB will check my cervix this week, and I'm wondering if I'm dilated at all. I feel l am sometimes.

I think it's just general crappy pregnancy symptoms.

It's been about 4 weeks since I've had sex. Afterwards, I felt like I had participated in some sort of Olympic sport. Everything hurt. I want it but I'm also too uncomfortable and lazy. Sorry H!

MH just felt the baby move for the first time. He then sarcastically said so this is real, I thought you were just faking it to get house projects done. He's such a smart ass lol

I had a very honest conversation with dh the other day. Like how when people ask how I'm doing, they don't REALLY want to know. And he was like, well I think they do want to know. And I responded, oh yes so next time our neighbor asks how I'm feeling I should absolutely tell him about how my vagina is swollen up and I'm assuming looks like a cheeseburger ... I can't verify because I haven't been able to see my crotch in weeks. And I should tell him about how my nipples could be spotted from outer space because they are so big and dark in color. Also, how I pee my pants a bit every time I bend over.
I think DH's jaw dropped to the floor lmao. Especially since I don't usually even tell him those things.
I'll stick to complaining about my lack of sleep and it being too hot out when the neighbors ask. I'll keep my more specific complaints here with those who can commiserate with me. ♡
I have my GBS test on Tuesday and I'm curious if I'll get a cervical check too. I don't think that my OB has any reason to do one at this point other than my night time contractions.

Is anyone else getting sharp, stabbing pain over the top of their belly (around the diaphragm, which is what I assume is hurting) sometimes? Happens to me every night now. I think it's just from a day of not lying down so baby is putting pressure on muscles. It's lame. Tonight it's bad enough to stop me from breathing deeply (which is why I assume it's my diaphragm).
It happened last time too so I'm not worried. I just want to commiserate, basically.
I am at that point (35 weeks! Whoa!) where basically everything hurts at different times of the day, heh. Except my boobs. They just keep on keeping on.

I'll be the weirdo turning down all cervical checks until I think I'm in labour. No one needs to go down there until there's something happening. My OB doesn't even do the GBS swab himself - they leave you in a room with the swab and some instructions on how to do it on your own. I much prefer it that way.

TMI Things are very swollen, and dry, and, outside of pain and discomfort when intruded upon, there's not much sensation down there. I'm not sure I can even O at the moment. It's a real fucking bummer.

It's a real fucking bummer. If it's any consolation, I'm not sure you'd want to O right now. I instantly feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest when it happens because of the contractions doing weird shit to my lungs. I feel like I'm suffocating and my belly is going to crush my child. It's nuts. Suffice it to say there's no sex or self-love happening over here right now either, obviously.

Background: Monday, when I was very itchy, I scratched the side of my stomach a little too aggressively and drew blood. I patched it up with a band-aid, but my skin had a weird reaction to it and now there is a slowly fading, perfect silhouette of a large patch bandage below my ribcage.
Story: I asked DH to check out my wound while I was laying on the couch because I cannot see it without the help of a mirror. After lifting up my shirt, the baby decided to show off her best dance moves causing my stomach to violently ripple like a Jell-O mold or ocean waves. DH said, "What the hell was that?!" as if I could honestly be anything other than a tiny person growing inside of me. He claims he'd never seen something like that with our other two and is adamant he didn't forget because it was too weird not to "haunt him forever."

AnnPerkins whenever dh feels baby kick or move or whatever, he's always like WOW that's hard. UH HUH YEAHHHHH isn't it?! And my eyes roll out of my head.

I don't think it's weird to refuse the cervical checks. They kind of seem unnecessary. I turned down the first one (at 36 weeks, I think??) with DD1). This is weird but my OBs hands are small, it hurtnlike a bitch when she tries to reach my cervix. Ugh I'm dreading it and now thinking about turning it down.

Hi! DD has an ear infection and I had the day off so she is home with me. We are relaxing, not a bad day at all. And I think she is feeling better, despite only starting abx this morning. I will attempt to catch up now. I hope she recovers 100% quickly! Thank you!! She was acting basically 100% all day so between sleeping a lot last night and then starting the antibiotics today, I think we are mostly past it. Yay! H has a refresher sailing course both weekend days from like 8-4 so FX she continues her good mood this weekend. He did come home for a half day today and I got a nap, so that was nice.

misskilljoy yes, I have been getting those pains in my belly, too. Usually when I'm driving which is weird. IDK if it is because I have to turn a certain way?

Or because of how you have to sit in the car? Maybe it's a baby limb jammed somewhere weird that sets it off. I assume they're all just running out of space in there.

After having a record breaking heat wave for two and half weeks, we're under a frost advisory now. Better cover all those flowers *insert eye roll here*
