Safe to Use A Vibrator While Pregnant?

[Anonymous]

I am 4 months preganant and my dear husband has decided that sex is off the table. Am am starting to get pretty desperate but am bit worried about whether the vibe may pose any risk. I have one of those "jack rabbit" ones and the orgasms tend to be pretty intense.

TIA

Yes, it's safe. But, I would work a little more on convincing the hubby too.

Have you had sex since you conceived? If not, that will be almost a year without if you account for the recovery time (which may be longer depending on your delivery and how interested you are at that point).

Yes, it is safe. I asked my reproductive endocrinologist on behalf of a very embarrassed friend. I was not pregnant at the time. He said it was safe as long as you don't stimulate your "chocolate tunnel of love."

P.S. The "CTL" reference comes from a recent episode of American Dad.

Um, and what is that. Sorry, do not watch much tv.

Its happened once since week 7 (when the morning sickness kicked in). The funny thing is that from week 7 until around 13 he kept trying and I just could not b.c I was feeling so sick and yucky all day long plus I was in bed by 8pm and he was out of the house by 7am. Now that I am feeling better, I keep trying but all I get is a pat on the tummy and a kiss on the forehead. A friend suggested that I wake up early one morning and just give a BJ while he is still asleep

How come he doesn't want to have sex? Have you asked him? 2nd Tri is supposed to be a good time for you! And him, b/c you're not too big yet and too uncomfortable.

CTL - hmm, could that be anal? I don't know either.

Go to town but I agree that it won't be good for your emotional intimacy to not be intimate for as long as it will be from now until some number of months after delivery.

Hello,

"American Dad" is one of the Sunday night Fox cartoons and yes, the CTL is anal. You can imagine the look on my face when my very conservative RE made the reference. Sorry for so much TMI but it is better safe than sorry when dealing with the toys.

Just out of curiosity, why is that area off limits?

But how would this benefit you, or your relationship?

I think the other posters are right. You don't want to miss out on this time before the baby comes and things get much busier.

Good luck!

I think the problem is if you use it in your anus and then your vagina, you will get bacteria in there and could cause an infection.

I just want to say you aren't alone. Now that my belly is really starting to show (19 weeks), my husband is so excited about the pregnancy, but sex is not really on the table. I am going to keep trying but you know what? there are only so many things I can stress about. As long as you have a really open dialogue, I think droughts can be overcome. We've had some pretty long ones over time (been together for over a decade), but we've also overcome them in really great ways. I agree with the keep trying attitude that others expressed, but I also think do not give yourself one more thing to worry about!

My DH was out of town frequently during my pregnancy. I used a humongous dildo AND a vibrator. I felt really randy the WHOLE pregnancy.
