Early pregnancy and sex...

[Writerwannabe83]

Is it ok??

I'm worried that uterine contractions during orgasm may dislodge the foetus??

I'm only 5 weeks and am panicked about doing anything risky!

It's okay, unless you have had previous miscarriage then you might be asked to refrain, if you are overly worried leave it until after 12 weeks but I seriously doubt an orgasm could dislodge the fetus!!

I think babies are pretty well stuck in, it'd take more than that to dislodge it. Sex can cause a little bleeding in early pregnancy but afaik isn't linked with miscarriage.

Sex won't cause any problems unless there are already problems...iyswim!

Speak to your GP or mw if your worried.

I got cramps after orgasm during the first few weeks of pregnancy but the midwife said not to worry unless you had any bleeding. It takes more than a few orgasms to dislodge the foetus it's well stuck in there! I'm now 12 weeks and the cramping has stopped thankfully!

Ooh I'm curious about this too! I'm 6 wks pg after a mmc in march so don't want to take any risks! Is it your orgasm you think could risk a dislodgement? Or the, ahem, energetic and enthusiastic lovemaking?

It is the orgasm I'm worried about - all the uterine contractions etc

Maybe I'll have to fake it!!!!

Something us women probably have down to an art

I read Zita Wests book and she says no sex before 12 week just to be on the safe side. I am 15 weeks after having dd then two misscarages, had a bleed this time at 14 weeks and doc asked if I had sex within last two days which I had, have now been told not to till at least 28 weeks just encase. Although there is no solid evidence sex can harm baby. I think do what feels right for you but nothing to rough. Sorry I'm not much help really. Plus it's going to be horrible not doing to for months!!
I guess what I am tring to say is if you have a history of mc might be best not to have sex just encase. Till at least 12 weeks.

Will you break the news to my dp??

Gosh in almost 12 weeks and have felt so atrocious that the thought of sex is the furthest thing from my mind. We had it at about 5 weeks with no problems but since then have only tried once and I had to stop and go and be sick (of glamorous first trimester) so gonna wait a few weeks until things settle down.

I had the same concerns writer so we put it off, and then I had an orgasm in my sleep anyway! This can happen if I don't have sex for too long...but this was over a week ago and it's all good still (touch wood).

I once orgasmed in my sleep too!!!
It really freaked me out!!!
