Its really frustrating....sex hurts so bad, but I feel terrible for my husband because he keeps…

lube it up!

@sarahemccormick, maybe you have a yeast infection

Try KY. And @julianeeley23 is correct. An infection or pH imbalance can make things uncomfortable.

Try pleasing him another way?

@noemysmom, @tayek I have plenty of natural lube, thats not quite the issue. Its just everything feels super virgin tight, and swollen, and it feels sooooooo uncomfortable. Once he gets going, it almost feels like a friction burn. Can yeast infections feel like that? @julianeeley23 Ive only had a couple in my life and they just itched, but weren't ever painful and never caused painful sex. @stephhhx3 Oh believe me, I do. He gets one bj a day at least, sometimes two because I try to compensate for the sex we arent having lately. Its a bummer. So many times I want to do it, but it has just been really hard this pregnancy because its been so painful. And since I had a Subchorionic Bleed when I was 12 weeks, we stopped having sex so much for fear of causing another tear or ripping the old one open. Hes been nervous to hurt me since then, and Ive been uncomfortable most the time anyway. Stressful. 😞

@sarahemccormick, I haven't had sex in a long time just cuz it's so uncomfy and swollen. So I give a lot of BJs. 😂 I've been slacking lately since my husband always complains he's tired so I just let him sleep.

The KY might soothe where natural does not. Like, act as an extra buffer so you don't have that "too tight" feeling. Before we had to throw in the towel, I felt like I was cinching shut! I got the plainest KY they make & until I ended up in pelvic rest (unrelated to our little escapades), it was a lifesaver lol @sarahemccormick
