Open Question: 37 weeks pregnant, and finding sexual intercourse very painful is this normal?
(Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:49:47 GMT)
I haven't had intercourse with my partner for I'd like to say 3 weeks at least. Today I had my dr appt and I had a pap smear done. It was not painful. I also had my cervix checked and that was not painful for me either. Uncomfortable as it always is of course but no pain. However when me and my partner had intercourse today it was very painful. I know this is a sign that it should be avoided just wondering how common this is as I do not remember it being this painful with my first child.

I'm 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my first, and I'm new to all this, so I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same as me.
