To orgasm or not following bleed

Ok, I need help. I have been on a diet of no penetration and no orgasm since a bleed at eighteen weeks. I am twenty five weeks now. One midwife said to me that the reason I had a bleed following orgasm is that my womb contracted and since then - and the fact that dh and I had a mc last year with a bless after penetration - has put us into total anxiety mode. Saw the obs and mw yesterday. They emphatically denied that orgasm or even penetration could cause a bleed and said go ahead. My dh has rfused point blank to put anything up there and said its up to me if I want to have an orgasm without penetration. I am desperate, I have not gone this long without one since my nearly three year old was born when I waited six weeks due to tear. But I could not livewithmyself ifanything happened. Wondering if I gave it up forwent would that put me in the clear zone as baby would be thirty wks then. Just need to know if anyone else has had this problem or a strong opinion on what's best.

no strong opinion, just my experience

i had a bleed at 8 weeks, the day after after a particularly enthusiastic shag. the A&E dr. said it was due to the cervix being knocked about a bit. since your cervix is very "veiny" during pg, so you're likely to at least spot heavily if you interfere with it too much.

she (A&E dr) didn't say anything about abstaining, but my GP did when i went for a followup a week later. he said no sex for another MONTH! we'd already got busy in the interim though, just keeping it shallow/chilled out Wink, with no problems. and we've continued with that.

having said that...
you did miscarry before, under similar circs, so maybe in your case it's best to be on the safe side? you can hold out till Easter if so!! do your best!
