this isn't a 'is it safe to have sex' or any question that been asked 5 million times.
from looking in back entries i haven't been able to find any related info to my ?
My fiance and i have always had a very active sex life and i definitely do not want it to suffer during my pregnancy. I'm almost 16 weeks and we've had no problems so far.
But we also have had to live apart for the past 4 months seeing each other only 1 to 3 days a week so 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' never really put my in a 'not tonite honey' sort of mood.
We are finally able to move into our new apartment in 2 weeks so we'll be around each other 24/7 which i am beyond elated about but i worry on some things.
Sex before the pregnancy was an average 3x a day[when we were also living together-so it was 7 days a week] and has been the same when we see each other on visits but i know once we move in things are going to be a bit different. I just can't keep up with that all week.
Not that i let it bother too much because i know i'm pregnant and i don't always have to be in the mood i do feel for him, cause i'd certainly be crabby if i wanted some and couldn't get it. Do any of you ever feel this way? Worrying about not complete shutting out your SO sexually? 9 months can be a long time...
So in efforts to prevent any crabbiness we both get by not being sexual in some way or preventing him from feeling rejected or unwanted when i don't want to have actual intercourse i have been looking at a variety of lubricants/massage oils/lotions, some flavored, to have on hand incase i'm not feeling especially in the mood but still want to be sexual.
I'm having trouble finding if some/most/or all of these are potentially unsafe.
My online reasearch hasn't been to informative.
Wondering if you may have talked to a doctor or have some more knowledge about it.
I feel sort of weird asking mine.
p.s. thank you for any reading and/or any advice, i apologize for TMI but i feel comfortable in the community that it will not offend or what not.
