NSFW- How can I have sex with my husband now that I have a huge pregnant belly?

Asked by ubersiren (15208points) December 27th, 2009

Anything face to face is uncomfortable, and this is what we miss the most. If I’m on top, I can’t hold myself up for very long. I’m all off balance. “Doggy style” doesn’t do much for me. Reverse cowgirl (I’m cringing as I type these ridiculous terms…) is uncomfortable for me. We’ve just been having oral sex for the last two months and can’t seem to do anything else. I mean, it’s getting the job done, but we miss the intimacy of making love face to face.

I know, this is far more than you want to know, but any tips would be appreciated! When I say my belly is big, I mean I looked 8 months pregnant at 5½ months. It’s quite an obstacle.

Are there positions or props or techniques that would be helpful to us? Do we just have to stick it out until the baby is out from between us?

Have you tried propping your bottom up with a whole bunch of pillows?

Pillows. @Grisaille stole my answer… it’s all about the pillows.

Perhaps we should also give you a Badge, @Grisaille

Somehow my wife and I always managed up until final weeks: maybe we accepted the lesser positions: we had five pumpkins – so just enjoy them, and keep having them: they are such a joy, and older ones help you with the younger.
Restarting missionary type sex though may take 4 to 6 weeks.
Just enjoy all these other experiments with sex: use of hands and mouth as you say, can always keep you happy for a while – just a matter of learning to find joy in the ‘less-than-perfect’ in life. ;)

Have him lay behind you, both of you on your side (spoon). I don’t know the name of this position but it was the only one that worked for us when I was pregnant. We still do it this way sometimes. I like it ;)

This site seems pretty comprehensive.

You might want to invest in a Kama Sutra book, it has hundreds of positions to look at, or go to a website and look at them.

Grisaille's avatar

@jonsblond Spoons.

One leg over for leverage, people.

Also, ew at you and jon doing the nasty

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

@Grisaille: has the answer.
There should be enough pillows or bunched up blanket so he can pretty much kneel in front of you and rock upwards and forward rather than having to put any pressure or body weight downward to your tummy, kind of scooping your into his lap.

jonsblond's avatar

@Grisaille Thanks for the additional info. forgot to mention the leg part :P

denidowi's avatar

As I recall it, I think sideways and ‘woman on top’ were very useful positions.
In fact, later, we used sideways quite a lot – even after pregnancy.
These days we are free to try anything really – without worrying about potential pregnancyLOL!
7 altogether was enough for usLOL!

@jonsblond if you’d excuse me, I’m going to go stab my mind’s eye out with the hot embers from Hephaestus’ blazing oven.

Blondesjon's avatar

@Grisaille . . . I don’t recall ever inviting you to picture me fuckin’. If you’re serious though, I can can send you a topographical map of the blemishes in my ass. I’d hate for you to get off under false pretenses.

@Blondesjon Depends. Are the blemishes Chyna-sex-tape-oh-my-god-her-ass-looks-like-old-pizza bad?

If so, an enthusiastic yes.

Blondesjon's avatar

@Grisaille . . . It’s more like a braille version of The Great Gatsby written with raspberries.

Grisaille's avatar

@Blondesjon if it ain’t Last of the Mohicans, I ain’t interested.

@Grisaille I think Hephaestus let his forge go cold when he blew his load on Athena’s thigh.

ubersiren's avatar

We tried pillows, but maybe not enough?
@jonsblond We do like the spoon position, but- I don’t mean to be selfish- I can’t really orgasm that way.

DrMC's avatar

very very carefully.

HungryGuy's avatar

I would suggest that you have him lay on his back and then you just sit on him and “ride” him.

filmfann's avatar

You lay on your side, with the lower leg slightly bent, your upper leg bent forward.
Your man straddles your lower leg. Very nice, and effective.
now, can you whisper “Reverse Cowgirl” again to get the image of Blondesjon out of my head?

@Grisaille Chyna sex tapes?

From behind. Either while on your side or hands and knees.

You can figure it out without any of us butting in..hahaahah.

Fernspider's avatar

@ubersiren – Re: difficulty or inability orgasming from behind… have you tried clitoral stimulation while, um, thrusting? Sorry, I feel silly. You probably have…

I found I really grew to like this method if I was being stimulated properly. Can be romantic if he does it (provided he knows how to, ahhh, stimulate the clitoris properly). I suppose with your big belly, he may have difficulty reaching…??

* Phew * I am blushing a little! lol

ubersiren's avatar

@Rachienz : Yes, that is something we’ve tried actually, but it’s sort of hard to reach now… I know, I’m so difficult.

fundevogel's avatar

It’s not you fault the kid’s cockblocking.

DrMC's avatar

If you’re that big it shouldn’t be long. Can it wait till you deliver and heal? Consider it practice for when you get older.

The best cure for a strong libido?

Marriage with kids.

The best contraceptive?

Diapers.

denidowi's avatar

Not true there, DrMC… we thoroughly enjoy our 7 Kids, and we sure enjoyed continuous sex lifeLOL!!
I WILL say this: You DO have to work harder in your relationships; but guess what: Like EVERYTHING, the Bigger the weight you lift, the Greater your muscle power and strength.
As you build in internal power, your climaxes and power in sex also builds: it is the one for the other principle.
As footy coaches might say:
“You get out what you put in!!LOL”

ubersiren's avatar

@DrMC I’m only 7 months and I’ve been uncomfortably large for about a month and a half. Some women get real big, real fast. Anyway, that means waiting another 2 months, plus whatever healing I’ll have to do after the kid is either shot from my vagina or sliced out of my belly like last time. That’s a lot of waiting… like 3.5 months. I mean, we’ll survive on oral if we have to, but I was just asking for any loopholes here. I’m not commenting on your other silly comments. We already have one son, and we still act like wild monkeys.

denidowi's avatar

@ubersiren – “wild monkeys”? ... Of course you do: having children does not change one’s internal feelings or drive, except a little tiredness on some occasions after a heavier day; but if everyone works together such ‘burdens’ are light… and the increased emotional drawing power of a family can actually make you even more conducive to having intimate physical contact with one another: sometimes it creates more strength of drive to unite. :)

DrMC's avatar

Heh, maybe it’s my work load then. Sadly limping away.

In an office???LOL
I hardly think soLOL! ;)
