Sex while pregnant...

[CandyCane007]

I'm 5 weeks pregnant, I've been having some bad cramps that the doctor was worried about - I was checked for ectopic and thankfully everything is okay. However I'm paranoid about having sex despite the fact everything seems okay, but my partner still wants it.. Any advice?

Your partner wants it? But do you?
If you don't want sex you don't have it.

Just go with your instinct and whatever feels best for you. I was nervous in the first trimester and too sick with hyperemesis to bother. I was then under investigation for a short cervix so was advised against it until I had the all clear. I then had the all clear, and we had sex once at around 22 weeks. Then I got pelvic pain and now I'm huge so there's no way! My friend has sex all the way through. Unless you've been advised otherwise, sex is fine. However, if you feel nervous then go with your feelings.

Speak to your midwife and if she says ok then you should be fine.i had sex all way through with pains and was fine but everyone is different

Some cramps and bleeding can be normal others not. I bleed slightly (very very mild pink discharge) after sex and until 12 weeks I've refused so he has to suffer for another 5 weeks.

Time to talk to partner and lay some concerns down.

I’ve continued to happily through my pregnancy and it’s only now (32wk) getting uncomfortable thanks to back ache. But it is apparently normal in the early days of pregnancy to get a cramping feeling after sex. I used to get it and the mw told me it was fine and that the increased blood flow to down there was a good thing!!

Just ask your midwife. We were told to wait two weeks after heavy bleeding but otherwise it was fine.

I didn’t feel nervous about the baby, but I went off sex in my first trimester because of the sickness and for the last few weeks because I felt so big and unsexy. DH was understanding.

Unless you’ve been told differently by a dr then of course you can have sex as much as you want! In my last pg I wanted it constantly (at least twice a day) all the way through to my waters breaking! It’s normal to feel crampy after orgasm also.

This time, the thought of sex makes me feel sick. Just do what you’re comfortable/happy with!
