Extremely uncomfortable sex during first trimester
Hello all -
Since I got pregnant, sex with my husband has been extremely painful, it burns and I can barely last a few minutes, and after it’s over it’s just terrible for hours, the burning persists, and I also have light swelling around my vagina. Before you make any suggestions - I don’t have any sort of bacterial or yeast infections, and no STD’s. We do a lot of foreplay and I get wet enough, so I know it’s not a matter of being too dry.
I just don’t know what to do 😞 I want to have sex and I feel awful like I’m depriving my husband if I don’t. I’m sure he would understand and say he’s okay with it but I would be frustrated if I was in his position.
Can anyone tell me about their experiences? Does this get better in the second or third trimester? Is there any solutions?
Thank you in advance!
