Things feel different since I got pregnant, lot more dryness now and it's uncomfortable. Im in second trimester. Bit shy to ask doc directly so asking here, is this a hormone thing?
Yes, dryness is very common due to hormonal drops. Since I had a C-section, my body took even longer to feel normal again. Just talk openly with your partner and use a water-based lubricant.
Oh, this literally happened to me throughout my pregnancy! The hormones play such weird games with your body. Just use a good pregnancy-safe lubricant and take it very slow.
I totally understand how frustrating this can be, and it made me so anxious about my relationship. But it's completely normal due to changing estrogen levels. Don't worry, you are not alone in this!
Yes, hormonal changes can definitely cause dryness. My doctor allowed me to continue light yoga and walking, which kept me relaxed, but for intimacy, using a safe water-based lube is best. Just check with your gynac first.
It is actually very common because of hormonal shifts, though it's not something we can discuss with elders in the family! Just use a safe lubricant and make sure you are comfortable.
