Orgasm dfficult during pregnancy Posted: 04-16-08 15:32pm
My fiance and i have continued to have
sex, not very often like before, because
sometimes im tired or not in the mood. We
have had sex since i found out im
pregnant, and our doctor said its fine to
do, as long as no bleeding [which there
isn't any] we don't do it very rough
either, just because i dont think its
recommended during pregnancy, or good for
the baby.
Ever since we started having sex, i would
be able to have an orgasm, even while i
was in my early pregnancy stage. And
before pregnancy i always had one too.
But now, im 22weeks[23 tomorrow] and
everytime we have sex, i cannot get an
orgasm. We both are in the mood, i want to
have one, but i cannot get one. And its
frustrating! lol
My question, is it normal for this to
happen? Is it harder to get an orgasm when
pregnant? Or is it me? :S Like i said, im
always in the mood when we engage in sex,
but i cannot get an orgasm.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
Any advice or responses would be great!
Thanks alot,
.Krystine

Pregnancy is different for everyone. Some
women hate sex when pregnant and others
can't get enough of it. You sound as if
you are indifferent to it.
Is it normal? Yes. Just like the pregnant
sex maniac is normal too.
Sex is 100% perfectly FINE while pregnant.
You could have sex every day, in all the
wonderful positions and it would be fine
as long as you didn't hurt yourself. There
is no reason to give up sex when pregnant
- there is NO WAY it can hurt the baby
either. -- I just thought I'd throw that
in because you said you didn't think being
rough was recommended or good for the
baby. Your baby is fully encased in a womb
filled with amniotic fluid - you can't
hurt it.
It hasn't happened to me, because I've
never been able to orgasm from just sex..
but maybe you should try something
different that does make you orgasm (like
oral sex or using sex toys etc) so it's
less frustrating for you. I hope it gets
better for you soon!

thats for the advice, i enjoy sex, i think
i like it a little more now that im
pregnant too just sometimes im too tired.
But, its normal to not be able to get an
orgasm while pregnant?
Its only been really hard for me to get an
orgasm since i've gotten further along,
like at..i dont know, i think 19 or 20
weeks[could have been a little earlier
than that], i have not been able to get
one since.
I know this might sound silly, but perhaps
it's psychological? Orgasms cause
contractions of the uterus & you might
be inadvertantly scared of causing
premature labour. That could be complete
rubbish (I'm not much of a psychologist!)
but I'm just trying to think of reasons
why you should stop being able to orgasm
as you get further along in the pregnancy.

Hi KrystineM
I was reading a similar post a few weeks
back from another girl who had the same
problem. I think that since we become so
engorged with blood in our sex organs at
this stage it could go either way (I'm 21
weeks and have been noticing some changes
going on down there)...regardless,
everything will return to normal after
baby arrives. Until then, keep trying and
bring on the toys - they always work!

At least you can enjoy it, since I've been
pregnant, I'm never ever in the mood
