Embarrassed about 'down there' but have to ask

[<3 Mumofthreetobe <3]

Ok, so this is really embarrassing but I want to know if others have the same problem.

When I am pregnant - this is #3 - down 'there' seems to get smaller or something. Whenever DH & I have sex it's like I am a virgin again and it really hurts. Even if he just touches its painful.

Atm, I have a bit of thrush. Doc said to get some cream. It came with an applicator to insert the cream up there and I couldn't even put that in!

What's wrong with me

[Mems89]

It's the hormones. It happens to me too, less mucous production or something - it's 'drier' down there so feels tighter.
Have you tried lube?

[Peace]

Yeah it's a bit owey over here too. I find I'm a bit swollen and definitely drier. We''ve just ordered lube hoping it helps! The thrush definitely won't be helping ouch you poor thing!

[Jaycee]

You may be swollen which would be causing some pain, and the thrush definitely wouldn't be helping, big

Thrush will make it painful to have sex.

I felt the 'angle' changes, as well, from about the middle of my pg, and I had to get used to holding my pelvis differently.

Sex was very painful for me from about 25w onwards. I would get so swollen after just a bit of foreplay.
Sorry, not advice but I do know how you feel.
