Pressure after sex
I’m 31 weeks pregnant and whenever me and my boyfriend have sex (and he finishes in me), afterwards I feel uncomfortable and like there is a lot of pressure down in my vagina area. I don’t know how to describe it but for about half a day after it I will feel uncomfortable when walking and feel the constant need to pee, etc. It feels heavy like there is weight in there. Then later on in the day I’m fine and will feel ok until we have sex again.
I googled it but I feel like everything I google shows as normal in pregnancy, and I worry that what if it’s not, as doctors love to dismiss anything as “normal during pregnancy”.
Has anyone else felt like this after sex during pregnancy? I have a midwife appointment in the week so will mention it to her too.

@Emily ahh I didn’t know this, oops 🫣 thank you angel! x
Yes I’ve had exactly this too!! Doesn’t happen every time tho. It’s the same pressure feeling I often get when on my period … like a heavy pressure feeling in cervix area. Kinda uncomfortable

I’m not an expert but be aware that sperm actually messes our pH up and we are prone to thrush in pregnancy with changes of hormones, I struggled at the beginning of 3rd trimester and I’m pretty sure that it was the two combined. Also heard that sperm contains prostaglandins which can ripen the cervix and help labour start so just be aware. Might be worth not having your partner finish in you until you’re full term and/or avoid it too much overall incase it’s causing thrush x
