Let's Talk About S-E-X....

Yesterday I had a midwife appointment and everything is going great. The midwife said I am completely full term now, baby is almost 7 lbs, heart rate is in the 130's, baby still head down, and my blood pressure is 117/70 (that's actually the highest it's been my whole pregnancy!!! lol).
Needless to say, everything is going great. And as far as I'm concerned, this kid can come out ANY day now!!! lol I am so ready! lol

So last night Paul and I were putting our jammies on and I said "We're having sex this weekend."
He froze mid-sock and had this horrified look on his face. Lol. It was so funny.
I asked him what was wrong.
And of course he just said "Well, okay. If you want we can try."
I said "You look scared."
"I am!" he said.
Apparently he's afraid he's going to hurt me. Especially since a couple of weeks ago he was at the midwife with me when she checked me (I was dilated) but it hurt/was so umcomfortable I almost flew off the table when she was checking me. And then she said "I can definitely feel the head".
So he's afraid he's going to hurt my cervix, or cause me pain. Of course, if I'm in any pain during the course of sex, or am even uncomfy then we'll stop.
The last time we had sex it was very uncomfortable. Not to brag, but my hubby isn't exactly "small" in that department (hehe). I think the penetration was too deep and it did hurt my cervix and was umcomfy.
And he's also afraid he's going to hit the baby in the head! lol... I understand these are normal fears for men during pregnancy, but it was kinda funny to see my husband freak out about sex like that. lol.

We haven't had sex since the beginning of January... I think we had sex in January anyways! I don't really remember... Horrible ain't it?! I know we had sex in the beginning of December (See Dec 5th post), but not so sure about January. I'm pretty sure we did in Jan.... Hmmmm....

So in the end he agreed to try. Lol.... I just need to have an orgasm. I've read that female orgasm can cause the cervix to dilate up to 2 cms!!! And of course Paul's gotta do his deed too, sperm softens the cervix and there are other benefits too. So it shouldn't be too bad!! lol...

Can't believe I just did a whole post on us having sex this weekend... Oh well... I'm not exactly shy. lol....

So we'll see how it goes this weekend... Maybe this'll bring that kid out!!!! lol Wish me luck!
