After many sleepless nights spent pondering the humorous nature of pregnancy, our yet-to-be-pregnant cartooning artist realized she was going to need some help from moms who'd been there. Happily, a beautiful collaboration between the artist and our snarky freelance mom blogger, the sarcastic journalist, sprung up to save the day! The humor was conceived together and each panel was hand-drawn by our relieved cartooning artist.

im 39 weeks and i love having sex with my boyfriend.the sex drive has not went down at all we still do all the samethings we did before i got preagent.i have herad that sex induces your labor but i think when he is ready he will come.i dont think at all it is nasty to have sex this late in your pregnacy at all.it is not hurting the baby.i didnt know at first but i asked my doctor and he said that it is fine and sometimes it is good to have intercrouse while your preagent.but just to remind all of you couples is to make as much love and have your one on one time as much as you can because after the baby comes you can not have sex for 6 weeks and then after that you will be so busy with the new baby youll never have time like you do now to make love so do it while you can because this is going to be a big change its going to be all about them BUT IT IS ALL WROTH IT!!and dont worry ladies it is fine to have intercrouse during your pregancy its your time now!!
yeah i am huge now my bf wants me to sex to inducce labor
my bf wants to have sex all the time i just dont ever want to because I get leg cramps and i cant orgasim because im so uncomfortable but i still want to have sex i just dont because i know i will just be in pain afterwards
Wow, after reading some of these I feel very thankful to have a boyfriend who thinks I'm still beautiful and who still finds me sexy at 6 months pregnant! Sadly, some of these women writing on here have husbands who won't touch them..I can tell you that our intimate life hasn't stopped or slowed down one bit from the point we found out we were expecting till now...still about twice a night for us. As for some lady who wrote that she thinks its digusting for people to have intercourse while pregnant...you've obviously never had a baby, sometime those urges are stronger now than before..so good luck telling your body NO when the options available. There is nothing "nasty" or "disgusting" about having intimate relations while your pregnant...its a beautiful thing!
I'm 39 weeks...almost there and can't wait to meet my little one,my first was two weeks late and therefor needed to have c-section,my chances with this one is almost certain. My husband on the other hand has absolutely no interest in sex,even though he hopes i'll have natural birth.I've explained to him that sex probably does help,and believe me he tells me everyday how beautiful i am,but he won't come near me,i do plan on punishing him after the baby is here though!
33 weeks and still goin at it. He just doesnt like to be on top because he feels like he is "squishing" him and i cant be on top because its too much of a muscle workout and my stomach and hips start to hurt just a few minutes in. so we just compromise and both lay on our sides =)
HI THERE LADIES. Me and my wive tried it yesterday. She orgasmed and so did I at the same time. Unfortunately nothing happened. But she had the time of her life. I even got coffee in bed this morning even though i told her not to move too much. As for us wanting sex. I just need to say that, when a woman is pregnant, She looks even more beautiful than she did when she was not pregnant. I can not stop looking at my wife and thinking "O my God". I have no idea what it is that attracts me so much , but it does. She however can not understand why i can be attracted to a elephant. But i am and i cant wait till my little one is here. Keep well guys and hang in there. Almost there. AND TO ALL THE WOMAN WHO IS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH....THANK YOU. YOU GUYS MAKE OUR LIFE COMPLETE. AND REMEMBER> YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I am going to be a daddy and I truly believe that it is God's gift to men and I feel as if I will grow up now because of my new baby :-) I love this beautiful experience....
well i am 25 weeks im not quite there yet but all i know is that my boyfriend is always horny and so am i!! lol we always end up doing it and we always finish at the same time!!! the sex has never been this great!!! all i know is i hope he doesnt stop!!
I know one sure way to bring on labor, and I found out by accident. We drove for 20 hours straight, when we got home in the early hours of the morning, I had been in labor for a while, but as sleep deprived as I was, I didn't relize it. So we went tot the hospital and they told me I had dialated to 5 cm and that I was going to have to have a c-section. I was not expecting that. So my first was born at 7:03 am the day after Mothers Day. That was no fun. We have never tried sex to bring on labor, but you can bet we'll try it. My son put me labor with my daughter just by giving me one good kick in the side, so we've never had to try sex, maybe with this one...
As for the 15-year-old alarmist up there, chill! As long as your OB doesn't tell you not to, sex is generally considered to be safe.
It didn't work for us, though. Bah.
I think this cartoon is cute, my boyfriend and i both have a really active sex drive i think that its awesome that eventhough i feel fat and my ankles have swollen to ridiculous proportions and all i do is whine all tha time he still finds me sexy, he said if he had his way i'd be pregnant for another month, thank god that's not possible!!!
I am going crazy! Some people say that the baby will come if we have sex, and others say it doesn't actually bring on labor! Any sugestions from anyone that has tried something to bring on baby and it worked!? My due date is in 6 days but I am so ready now! HELP! :)
JADE.... The only way having sex will put you into labor is if, well, he goes in you. There is something in his sperm that triggers contractions. I'm now 37 weeks and I'm ready to do the darn thing! So, we'll see what happens.
XIOMARA.... Don't you want to go into labor? Unless you've had previous problems, I don't see the danger in having sex. You could be sitting on the couch and your water could break. As long as your not on the bottom, go for it. But, be gentle. Enjoy it, it will be ahile before your husband will get it again!
Good Luck!
i'm 38 weeks with 1 day pregnant and my doctor told me not to have anymore sex with my man cause he might break my water at this point... what do you guys think i should do, go for it or just wait. I'm due November 15 but i can't take it anymore..
my boyfriend and I have been having sex throughout this whole pregnancy. Now i have 2 weeks left and i'm still walking around w/ my baby. When i had my son me and his dad didn't have sex at all and he came early. So what the heck is going on? Why isn't my little one coming now? I want her to come cause I want to see her, hold her and just be w/ her so bad.......so she needs to come out.
i am due anyday and the dr said that it helps and i have tired and i think hes ling cause man i want this baby to come out and i have tried everything and as much as i like it i am big and its hard to enjoy it but i don't want to leave my husband out cause he feels lonely and needs some love
...my boyfriend always want to have sex. and im never in the mood. but when i found out that sex can help go to labor i would have sex with him even though im not in the mood to have sex. but i will act like im enjoying it..but really it makes me feel FAT and not sexy! lol im 36 weeks and hopefully this sex thing will work!
My husband and I try to have sex at least once a week, but since I'm at 34 1/2 weeks and our lil girl already weighs in at 6 lbs 3 oz and measures 3 wks ahead, it's really hard to get comfortable enough to go for an extended period of time. We try having me lay on pillows, blankets, etc... I can last for about 10 min and then I'm done and it just frustrates him. Poor guy!
And that is what we will gonna do ...
I have to admit, being nearly 37weeks and roughly the size of a small barge, I really don't feel so attractive...I'm so lucky though, my husband understands completely, and although he will never, ever say no to sex (bless him) he won't ever push me if im not in the mood (which is pretty much all the time at the mo lol). i have to admit though on those rare occfasions when I am in the mood, it's fun experimenting with positions, as missionary is just not possible any more lol.
what a delicate man kristin!!! my hubby says that his not sure that is going to be ok so he just do NOTHING... i hope that change once the baby comes....
I am almost 24 and have been with my husband for almost 8 years now. We have been married almost three. My son, Jordan, will be 2 in January and I'm due with another boy, Jackson, in December. I was adopted at 6 months old, so, my mom and dad have never been through a pregnancy before my first. Unfortunatly, my husband last night at dinner, trying to make a funny, told my very conservative dad that having sex with a pregnant woman was like poking a pig. I was so embarrased, I wanted to die!
this is my 5th baby and never did i have a sex drive like i do with this pregnancy (it could be because it's a different relationship) ha! anyways, i'm 39 wks now and still no baby. we have sex everyday and enjoying it. my hubby says im very sexy everyday....
it worked for me all three times.....
yeah, thats like the only thing my hubby told me about reading stuff online....do you know that having sex a lot will help you in labor?? uh no thanks ill pass. hes becomed such a horn dog....then i was like im so scared about tearing when im delivering. his answer... of course well if we have lots of sex then you wont right? doh
credit repair
at 39 weeks i have almost no sex drive. my husband thinks that sex will push labor along and he wont stop bugging me about it. i cant wait to not be pregnant!
lol. i can just see my hubby trying to do this. i don't think i'd be willing much anymore though. XP 38 weeks and counting and it still hasn't worked.
well,lucky for me my husband think we should experiment with our bodies every night to see if our baby will come out from just having sex.We think this is the best idea man could have ever came up with. I am 38 weeks and my little bundle of joy still have not came yet. We been having sex for the last 2 weeks now. It is worth to keep trying to have sex, you can not lose anything (maybe a mucus plug)lol
nah I think she's throwing up West side! lol!
well if it doesnt induce labor oh well
i have had the greatest orgasms now that Iam 30 weeks prego! wooo hooo for me not that it was a problem before but now it's just like WOAH! what did you do???
Lol... I just noticed that she's crossing her fingers! That makes it even more funny for me : )
my husband is getting tired of me wanting to have sex everyday , but they say it helps and with me being 3cm already im ready to keep going with sex everynight.this baby is coming one way or another sex got me to 3cm and it can get me to go into labor.
i want to have sex with my husband but i feel so big and so not sexy.im 39 weeks and i always want it but i dont feel sexy or attractive and i end up not doing it..im letting my husband down..cuz i knwo he really wants to do it
but i just cant get into it liek i uset to
yea so i got desperate and finally caved in to try sex,and they say it only works if you get like a really good orgasm, well it may have got me a lil closer but no damn labor, this kid doesnt want out *tear* !!! Plus it made me sixk and was hard to do cuz at 39 weeks your not as tiny as you used to be! :( lol it made me feel bigger...
this is hilarious, i didnt start showing wil middle of my 6th month, dr's think my due date is messed up so i think im really 33 weeks, anyway, i am HUGE compared to how i was prior to this bundle of joy. well my boyfriend is more attracted now then ever. im the one tellin him im not in the mood these days :)
it really works, if your already ready that is.. that is how i had my first baby!!
I am still very interested and my boyfriend is the one who feels strange about it. I feel sexy and alive!
I am nearly 41 weeks now.. I tried the sex, spicy foor and exercise and nothing has worked for me yet.. this is my first child.. They are going to induce me on the 9th if I don't have her by then.. so one way or another she'll be here in less than a week :)
I'm 37 weeks today. My boyfriend cut me off about 2 weeks ago and I'm a wreck. Pregnancy hormones and sexually frustrated thats a pretty lethal combination. I keep coming up with fun alternatives but he feels like she is right in the room with us. I want sex all the time but when I finally do get it, I can't breath and start seeing stars!
I will be 39 weeks tomorrow. This is my first baby, my husbands second. I have been having really bad pains since Easter!! I am soo ready to have my son. The doctors said he is RIGHT there but my body isn't dialating yet. So my husband promised we would try to induce it by having sex. I am hoping and praying it works. Mommy and baby are both ready to get this show on the road! I hope the myth is true. . .
I am 37 wks today and I cant keep my boyfriend off of me....He acts like me being preg is the best thing in the world....and by now you know I am just like whatever I look like a cow and going from 104 to 130 in a matter of 9 months isnt the easiest thing to deal with but sex isnt enjoyable to me....I use to love it but my belly doesnt let me anymore! lol! I am just like ok hurry up by like 5 mins into it.....Maybe things will change after our son gets here
xD Heheheh! That inspires me to do a comic about pregnancy, if I ever have a baby~ (Mind you, I'm only 15, and I really don't plan on having children...) Ah well, maybe I'll ask my mother how it was and start there.
Anyways, I've read all of them, they're cute! :)
Anyways, about having sex during pregnancy, I don't think it's a good idea at all. I have never... ya know... much less had a kid of my own, but I've heard so many things caused by it that I wouldn't take any chances. My mother says that at after a certain time, the baby will prematurely pop out if you have sex at that period of pregnancy. And it makes you wonder why and how so many women are having premature babies... you know how many are? It sickens me how unnatural that is, and that it could even happen. I think maybe the first WEEKS of first being pregnant would be okay to have sex, like three or four; you might not even know you're pregnant then anyway. But NO MORE than the first three or four weeks, okay? Because it's a really scary thought after hearing so many stories about this by my older friends who have experienced this. (They all had premature babies, and their babies have physical problems. Sara's even died... ;_; )
So be healthy, protect and love your child, and follow those mommy-instincts! Childbirth is wonderful, so don't try to make it come too fast! Nature has human mothers hold babies for so long for a reason, just be patient. It will be all worth it. :)
... I'm reading all of these comics again. xD So cute~
With my first child, these were definately reversed roles. He ended up cutting me off saying honey, I don't think us doing it more will make the baby come sooner. Always said, boo, you're out of control. LOL.
Lol this cartoon is sooo my life right now. I don't know what my fiance finds so attractive about me right about now. I'm 34 weeks and soo not feeling sexy. But, it seems like he's ALWAYS in the mood. Maybe this inducing labor myth will motivate me.
I love the oompa loompa comment Miranda! I'm imagining getting rolled out of bed, through the kitchen, and off to work! "What do you get when you're 28 weeks? Eating as much as an elephant eats..."
I had trouble with sex when I started getting big (my husband didn't), I found mainly it was just a matter of relaxing. We talked about it and I cried a bit and he gave me a back rub which led to... well we don't have problems anymore. For some reason I'm always ready to go after a good cry (or a full body massage courtesy of my hubby).
well,i'm at my 39th week and my husband and i had sex today,so we're just waiting around to see what happens,this is #4 so maybe it will work ihope so,lol
i can't wait to have my little guy... he's due on the 11th... this has been the longest experience of my life. i can't wait to hold him!!! i'm trying to be patient but tonight we are going to try to see if we can make anything happen, i'll let ya know how it goes!!!!
lol..this is hillarious! except ever since my fiance found out that sex induces labor he won't touch me. he says we need to let the lil guy cook a bit longer...i on the other hand am 38 weeks and if i have to go through 2 more weeks of this i might go crazy!
LOL!!!
Well, sex worked with my last baby, we will see about this. With my last one, I had been having off and on contractions for 3 freakin days and decided enough was enough. DH took me out for Mexican food and we had some, um, fun later. An hour after we went to sleep, I went into labor!! :)
OMG i wish that was true for me it does nothing wish it could induce me and my honey have tryed god we tryed yes im very impacitent
HA! the only thing sex induces for me is the desire to pee.LOL! poor hubby.. I always end up running to the potty just when things start heating up. :0)
I wished this worked. my husband like before i was pregnant wants sex 24/7. im 39 weeks pregnant and i cant keep him off of me. I herd from tons of people that sex will help labor, but you have to orgasm for it to work. It seems for the life of me i cant do that, and havnt been able to since probably the 6th month. But oh well, it doesnt hurt to try right?
My husband loves the idea of having sex to help ripen my cervix, I almost regret telling him the news! I really enjoy having sex with him althought being in my 38th weeks it's a bit tricky to get comfortable and feel sexy. But somehow my husband sees me and thinks it's sexy (lucky me!) We make it a point to have sex (well we try...) about every 2-3 days to gently help things along. Can't be any harm in that! It's natural, healthy fun to do with your husband!
My child's father induced my labor during sex on my 39th week. It was on fathers day and I gave birth the next day. It is possible to induce labor during sex. It's messy but gets the job done lol
I didn't think this woulod really work either but when I was exactly 38 weeks my hubby and I had sex before I got ready to go to work. Immediately after my mucus plug came out and all throughout my workday I ended up having mild contraction. Our daughter was born the next day. :o)
Ha, ha, this is cute. We are having our second baby in may. And my hubby is 24/7 in the mood, same as with our last baby. We had sex the day before we had her, it did not bring on labor. But it was a nice way to spend our last hours of time and privacy. We both knew it would be a while before we could have that time together again. We will see if it works with the new baby. I have C-sections, but they set my date at like 42 weeks pregnant. But the doctors always say if I go into labor before than, we'll do the C-section then.
My husband is always in the mood and this picture cracked me up because Im always the one telling him Im not in the mood. I know it helps sometimes but I am super big and it is really hard to enjoy sex
Congrats Taryn!!!!
o, my other post is #11....Taryn
This is what I was trying to say in my other post. (it's from baby.com)
> Sexual intercourse. Having sex won't induce labor, but it can't hurt to try! Semen contains some prostaglandin, and having an orgasm may stimulate a few contractions.
anyway, my baby isn't wanting to come out so my doctor is going to induce on Tuesday!!! I can't wait to see my little boy! good luck to everyone else!
It's sad to read that some husbands don't see pregnancy as the wonderful, if not occassionally nauseating, event that it is. Fortunately my boyfriend just can't wait until I get that big...
The last time me and hubby had sex was like 3 months ago. Before that, was like before I knew I was pregnent. I really want it, but he always turn me down. It's so sad... really. He make me feel like I'm so ugly and dirty.
i read somewhere that the way it induces labor is if you orgasm at the same time he does. the sperm does something. i don't know...i just want this baby out!!!! My husband is always tring to rub ALL over my breast and "spoon" with me in the mornings.... but whenever i'm "in the mood" he's not. : (
it worked with my 2 daughters but for this one we stopped when i was 28 wks because he did not want to do it anymore that why i am 39wks and 3 days the baby does not want to come out
It worked for us with our first daughter, but this one is being stubborn. Makes hubby happy, that's for sure! He's always telling me, "I'm here for you, baby."
is this true? if so it would be a nice way to keep him off my back :)
Actually this was funny to me because the sex was my idea and it worked!
lol... why is it that i feel like a cow and he still seems to think that we should have sex?
my dr. has my husband convinced it works now he aggrevates me to death....lol... he just wants the baby to come
the only thing i found sex to induce during late pregnancy was nausea!!!
i'm not sure if it's too risque' for some americans, but i figured, hey, they're all dressed, married, etc.
