How to deal with vaginal dryness during pregnancy? Am 25 weeks pregnant and still waitn for the moments when I will love and enjoy sex!

Is using of lubricants safe? Do you have any recommended?

Hi, I believe its all up to the way you're feeling at the moment. Its very normal for a womans body to become a Lil reluctant to sex because of all the hormonal changes going on can leave us feeling exhausted before you've even considered having sex.

As far as im aware many lubricants should be safe to use during pregnancy. Its something which is used externally so shouldnt be consumed to the baby at all.

If in dougt you could always "google search" it.

But i wouldnt be too worried about it. Its just one of those things unfortunately.

Vaginal dryness can occur during pregnancy due to the loss of usual moistures and the elasticity of vaginal tissue. Though vaginal dryness is associated with menopause, women of all ages can get affected by the same. During pregnancy the oestrogen and progesterone levels rise and keep fluctuating during the first and third trimester. This can easily lead to vaginal dryness. In order to treat dryness of the vagina, make sure that the hormones are maintained at the normal levels. Hydrate yourself and eat a healthy and well balanced diet. Pelvic exercises such as Kegels increases the blood flow to the vagina and lower the risk to pregnancy. Physical activity leads to general wellness and maintenance of hormones. But before taking any medication or alternative therapy, make sure that you consult your GP.

You can also opt for treatment for the same. Therapies like hormone replacement therapy help to balance the hormones and improve the symptoms of menopause.
