hello ladies,

i have been having a few problems and was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing the same.

first off, i have been having trouble peeing.i feel like i have to go, and then sit down and hardly go at all, but if i lift up on my tum its a little easier. is this just her sitting my my bladder or something???

next, i have been VERy itchy in my bikini line area. like where your underwear sits. no rash or anything, but feels itchy like misquito bites or something.

lastly, dh and i had sex and now i have been having some strnge sensations and pains in my lower tum, and right after we had finished, looked like my bump was half empty... hard to explain... did we squish her??!??

any advice would be much appreciated!!! none of these symptoms are in any of the books i have read, so i was a little confused!!!!

thanks in advance!!!

LOL Don't stress!

The peeing issue is because of her pinching everything off. If you can shift your position and pee you're ok- but tell your doctor if you have any pain with peeing or other abnormal issues consistant with a UTI or bladder infection.

The itching is because your skin in stretching. You may or may not have stretch marks, either way it's stretching! Stretch marks tend to itch like HELL!!! Use some lotion, probably won't make the itching go away but it'll help a little.

As for the flat belly- a couple things. If you're laying on your back for sex, DON'T. Your tummy is too heavy for you to be on your back now. Try spooning or proping yourself with pillows. And NEVER have him put his weight on your stomach. If you're not doing any of the above you should be fine. I always had a lopsided belly- my daughter always stayed to one side of my uterus. Your baby is probably just shifting herself because she's not thrilled with the intrusion!

Hope this helps hun! Good luck!

i agree with madwolf

Vejables I have felt the same when I try to use the bathroom. A lo of times I think I have to pee but barely anything comes out. My mum says it's the pressure of the baby on my bladder that makes it feel that way so I think it's a normal experience in 3rd tri. Plus your bladder fills up super quick being that it's slightly squished and has less room to hold onto stuff.

As for the itching, I think I remember a few other ladies on the forum saying the same thing, and it was due to stretching. Try rubbing a bit of olive oil or lotion on your skin nights maybe?

And I'm very sure you didn't squish your lil one. I have this pregnancy book that says it's common to feel a lil weird down their after sex because of the mild uterus contractions during orgasm or something along those lines. They said mild cramping is normal too and only to worry if you experienced a mucusy discharge with heavy bleeding or something. But more power to you and hubby for having a lil fun It's quite possible your tummy looked different because your lil one moved too during the activities into a new spot.

Try not to worry, hope you are feeling a bit calmer. And I'm jealous that your date is ahead of mine now hehehe

P.S. Ok I just read back and read the other's comments LMAO@ Madwolf's comment "Not pleased with the intrusion"..LOL too cute

The peeing.....very normal but if you rock back and forth you should find this helps a little to get rid of a bit more, persist with it, it does work!

As for the itching, yep it is due to your ever expanding bump.......put some moisturiser on or cocoa butter, that should help.

You never squished your baby She is fine, you can have sex in any position as long as you are comfortable, obviously your partner should not put his weight on your tummy. Very normal to feel what you do after sex, especially if you have orgasmed as extra muscles are at work which could also explain your half empty belly, or it could be simply that she has shifted position!

thanks for the advice ladies!!!

mango, i know its strange being ahead of you... i was always the jealous one!!!

dh and i were having sex in the missionary position, so i guess we should cut that out! i just always thought like you said, tam that if it felt comfortable for me, it was okay. (and thats my fave position!!! ) oh well!!!

the itching is awful!!! i was about to accuse dh of giving me some sort of disease!!! lol!!! (hormones)

LOL!!! OK OK OK- here's the thing- if your man can be finished in a few minutes or less, then missionary is fine lol (still without his weight on you)! But it's for the same reasons as not sleeping or laying on your back- puts too much weight and pressure on that artery in your back which cuts down bloodflow to you AND baby...
BLAH BLAH BLAH, lol!
But I really hope you didn't blame him for the itching, HAHAHA!
