Is anyone else afraid to have sex?

Question

I had a miscarriage right before getting pregnant with my second baby. My hormones are driving me CRAZY! Lately I have even started having very vivid sex dreams about my hubby! I want to have sex but I am so scared! I am waiting until I see the doctor on Monday and get the all clear.

Answer

I can't imagine how sex would cause a miscarriage. Not with a normal pregnancy that is. Its not going to knock the egg lose or anything like that. Are bodies go through a lot on a daily basis so if that were the case no one would ever carry full term. I can understand being anxious and nervous of that happening again but unless you're high risk with a medical reason to not have sex then you shouldn't deprive yourself of simple pleasures. Lying on your back while being slightly rocked back and forth isn't going to hurt anything. I think you're being a little over cautious. Honestly a miscarriage can happen just laying in bed sleeping. If its going to happen nothing you do can stop it. Take comfort in knowing that much atleast; and if its meant to be it will be. All will be well and fine I'm sure. Just enjoy this pregnancy AND your hubby. Please.

Answer

It makes me nervous. Logically I know it's perfectly safe but I also know it can cause bleeding (harmless). After 2 mc I'm terrified of seeing blood when I go to the bathroom even if it is harmless or normal.

Answer

I'm just over 10 weeks and my partner and I haven't had any sex since I found out I was pregnant. We're both so anxious. Think we will feel better once we've had our first scan,in 2 weeks. Can't wait

Answer

I was but I asked my doc if it was ok and when she said yes then I was more comfortable!! Now it is thee BEST!!!!

Answer

I'm not afraid to have sex, we've had sex once since we found out on April 10th. I just don't feel like it, I've been sick the whole time so far. I feel bad, but I'm not going to force myself to have sex either
