Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

Have you gone to the doctor yet?

I'm not much help because I have been on pelvic rest my entire pregnancy.

I haven't been worried, DH was but I forced him

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

I can't help you...DH and I haven't had sex since I got PG and we won't be having it until after I have the baby.

Under normal circumstances though, there is no reason why you can't have an active sex life while PG. I know many people who do. I would only be concerned if there were any bleeding after sex.

I felt that way at first. Not like he was going to poke the baby, but just the thought of it made it seem dangerous for the baby. hug:

i have no problem with it. but DH wants to wait until im in my 2nd trimester. he feels if something bad happens it will be his fault. weirdo.

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

as long as your doctor didn't say no too have fun!
although...my dh is afraid too
he doesn't think his is going to hurt the baby but he seems to be afraid to touch me.
The doctor said it was ok, he knows it wont hurt me or the baby. He jokes and says the doc said no high impact activities...its just something I pray will pass...I have found a trick...get him in the morning while he's still half asleep

unless you are told otherwise, you can PARTY ON!

I have found myself MUCH more 'in the mood' in the 2nd trimester...that is until I was put on pelvic rest...so ENJOY yourselves!

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

I was a little nervous at the very early stages b4 my mucus plug had developed because the baby wasn't sealed off to infection and because the risk of m/c is higher in the beginning, I was a bit paranoid. I don't think this has any validity at all, it's just how I felt Regardless, we still had a lot of sex, we were just cautious. Now in the 2nd trimester we are a bit more carefree about it (I am still nervous to crush the baby )

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

Please - I gave up trying. I don't remember the last time we did it -

DH has an annoying paranoia about it - I stopped asking b/c I was starting to feel pathetic !!

right there with ya!

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

DH and I waited until I was 16wks. You need to do whatever makes you feel comfortable. But I must say- there is nothing like pregnant sex!! Once you start, you can't stop.....until you get to 39wks like me and say "sex, what's that?"

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

we havent had sex since the BFP! im now going into my 10th week! DH is terrified that he'll hurt the baby. he's coming with me to the dr today for our first appt and he said his first question will be "can we have sex???" i told him the books say yes we can but he wants to hear it himself from the dr's mouth.

You know what spoils the mood? When in the middle of it all, DH says "He grabbed me!" and starts laughing hysterically.

Yeah, really funny.

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

Ummm... Did I miss your announcment??? Congrats!!!!!!

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

We've only had sex 3 times since we found out at the begining of January!

DH is too scared to do it.

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

go for it! there's no reason not to unless your doctor says otherwise.

first time around it was much more scary and we didn't do it as much... but there's really nothing to worry about. it's not going to hurt the baby... on the contrary, think of all the nice happy hormones that your baby will get

Re: can we talk pregnancy & sex

Sex at every stage of pregnancy is perfectly safe unless you have any conditions that might make it otherwise - in other words, go for it unless your doctor tells you no!

There will be times when you just don't feel like it because you're tired, nauseous, etc. DH and I find it really funny now that I have a bump - it really changes the dynamics even though the bump is still small!
