TMI warning but please read?

Question

Okay I am 38w3d pregnant and I have been having s*x throughout my whole pregnancy. Well for the past month or month and 1/2 after I have s*x it hurts very badly. It doesn't hurt during, but when I get up to go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet it feels like it is ripping apart. Also I start to itch really bad down there and burns a little bit when I go to the bathroom. It usually hurts for 2 or 3 days after wards. Does anyone know what this is, or have you experienced it? My dr already checked for UTI and yeast infections, but nothing. I have an appt on fri and I can ask him, but I don't really feel comfortable asking him because he is an older man and just makes me nervous, also my mom goes to all my appts as this is her first grand baby so I really don't want to discuss my s*x life in front of her. Please no rude answers, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

you tend to swell down there in your last months of pregnancy. i did get this and all together stopped having s*x because i knew what came afterwards. what does help is a warm bath or a warm wash rag to the v****a after s*x. this helps sorry for your pain and congrats on the baby

Answer 2

sorry i dont really have an answer for u but i would say just ask ur doc...my doc is also an older guy and i was like that too but then i figured he probably hears alot of weird question from different ppl so why worry bout it.my mom also used to go to my appts with me but i started getting uncomfortable about it being as im married and pregnant i dont also want my mom in the room instead of my husband so i just told her id like my husband to be there(nicely)

Answer 3

Actually, this sounds like it might be a simple lubrication issue.  If you're a little dry, your v****a can tear, which can cause the symptoms you're describing.  Next time, try some K-Y or another water-based lubricant.  It might help you out a bit.

Answer 4

I can't give you an exact answer to that one, but I will say that your body is changing and stretching in many new ways that could cause some irritation. And as far as having s*x goes, it is actually WONDERFUL to have frequent s*x during pregnancy. It keeps your muscles from becoming too weak, which could cause complications during birth. Also, as you approach your due date, having s*x can actually increase the chemical pitocin, which aids in healthy contractions. So keep it up! But of course as with anything, if it is too uncomfortable for you to continue, listen to your body and give yourself a rest!

Answer 5

I would def. talk to a doctor..

sounds like a UTI to me.

Or u may have even have an STd.(Just a thought)

Ive never been pregnant, so Im not sure..

but the itching and burning shouldnt have anythign to do with your pregnancy

Answer 6

I used to get the same thing. The ripping apart is most likely from your thighs and hips spreading from the pubic bone and if your having s*x in a missionary position then that probably doesnt help it.

The burning and the itching...pardon my abruptness, but is your partner cumming in you? Because sometimes we develop allergies to our husbands funky spunk. Maybe he can try pulling out and see if that helps, otherwise you will need to speak to your doctor because there may be another issue that he may need to address.

Answer 7

I get similar symptoms too but I'm only 28 weeks pregnant. There's so much blood rushing around that area so it tends to get a bit sensitive. It sounds to me like a yeast thing (that's what I've been treated for). Apparently all pregnant women have some form of yeast infection or imbalance that never really goes away until you have your baby. It could just be what my OB thinks - maybe not a hard fact.

Answer 8

It might just be your body letting you know that you are getting ready to have the baby and might want to lay off the s*x. I would just go the next two weeks with no s*x. I would also advise that if you are having pain after s*x you might be having some contractions due to the o****m. Just stop having s*x and things should be fine. Your body is changing and things don't work and are in different places than before. Good luck and just get ready for your baby and keep your hands off your man.

Answer 9

Your lady bits could be swelling from the s*x and the pregnancy combination, which could be causing the the itch and burning. Or you could be having a reaction to your husbands s***n due to the fact that everything is sensitive down there during pregnancy. The ripping apart feeling is the baby sitting so very low and that is how is will probably feel during labour (though I doubt you are in  labour right now), I remember that feeling vividly, lol. If your Doc has already checked for Uti's and yeast infections then there isn't much left. You could discuss this with a midwife instead of your Doctor, but trust me they have heard it all before. I would just ask your Mum to either leave near the end of the appointment or not to come in because you have "some" questions you need to ask the Doctor privately. She should understand after having children of her own.

Answer 10

i read in this book once that it says DO NOT  have s*x while pregnant because the male p***s blows air in the v****a and it is not good for the female so you need to STOP please just be carefull and maybe go tot the doctor
