Sex in first trimester!!!

[rosemcn]

I’m 5weeks2days and had sex with my husband for 1st since finding out I was pregnant last night. I was petrified!!!!

I was so worried we would do something that could cause me to miscarry. I didn’t say anything to my husband because I don’t want to damage our sex life and I want it to continue throughout pregnancy but if anyone could give me some advice about what’s safe and what’s not that would be amazing!!!!!

I'm 7 weeks and I'm horrified to admit that we haven't had sex since we conceived!! My dh is very understanding but not sure how long that will last for... but I totally get what you mean about feeling scared!!

Sex is fine.

Unless you're into beating or strangling each other just carry on having sex like you did before.

In your late second trimester you might need to switch positions as your bump grows, but discomfort will tell you when.

Until then just have sex.

It’s also normal for some spotting to occur during sex so don’t panic too mum if you have a small amount after.

Sex is perfectly safe, it can even help blood flow through the placenta.

I'm 33 weeks and have had regular (if not more than before) sex almost every day throughout my entire pregnancy and still do now.

It's also normal to have spotting after sex so don't be too worried about this and you'll find certain positions are a no no as you start to find your bump growing!

No need to worry unless you've been advised against by your midwife you'll be fine! :) xx

It’s a little worrying that you’re putting your husband’s feelings above your own worries. Even though it is fine to have sex unless told by professional otherwise, if you don’t want to then you shouldn’t be doing it because you worry your sec life will suffer by telling your husband.

Thanks so much for getting back to me everyone! Feel a lot better xxxx

THanks so much! Put my mind at ease! Everyone seems to tell you something different so I’m glad to hear something from first hand experience!

Ha. I'm 9 weeks and we haven't done the deed since we found out on 1st Jan!!! The idea of spotting scares me because I've been lucky enough not to have any so far and I know I'll freak out. What I don't understand is you can't use a pessary but you can have sex? Anyway, we need to get fruity this weekend!

It’s odd because physically we know that the womb and what happens when you have sex is not the same place, but you do have people warning you against sex or saying, be careful... which is so confusing because I don’t understand what that means!!!!!!

It means those people are ill informed.

There's absolutely no reason to avoid sex during a normal pregnancy. It's not as if your partner is going to poke the baby in the eye. :)
Enjoy it while you can - you may not be getting so much after the birth.

Sex is totally safe in pregnancy and some spotting is common after, probably will come out as brown or very light pink but will be tiny amounts. Also normal to get cramps after O too.

I'm 14 weeks and we just did deed - terrified too but because I have had bleeding so that's why.

And tbh- if your man is grouchy - he can go visit Pam and her five sisters.
