Question about sex after 2nd trimester miscarriage?

Question

So, my doctor told me to avoid sex for about 6 weeks after I experienced a 2nd trimester miscarriage. (After delivery, I only bled for 6 days or so.) Then, at about 2 weeks after the delivery, my husband and I had sex 😣. Should I be worried? Any ladies here have sex before the recommended wait time?

Answer

Yes, we were not great at controlling hormones after 2 weeks. I got lucky and didn't get an infection. It can happen though that you don't get lucky. Watch for fevers and call your doc if worried. Otherwise, I say be close with your SO as you need it.

Answer

I had a second trimester loss and my gynecologist did tell me to wait six weeks to have sex and three cycles before we actually try to get pregnant and she said this because she wants me to Heal completely to have my uterus good to be able to hold another baby so I'm going to follow it because. I do not want to risk another loss knowing that I should've followed the directions. It's not worth wanting something so bad having it and then losing it when I could've been prevented.

Answer

We also had a second trimester loss. Sex seems to be one of the things that brings couples together during the grieving process. We waited 3 weeks (I had a follow up appointment and was cleared.) I think you should be fine, but as others stated, watch for signs of infection. As for TTC, we didn't wait the recommended amount of time (3 months) and I'm currently having a chemical pregnancy. I don't think the two are related, but I wish I would've waited a few more months :/ I'm so sorry for your loss, and I wish you and all a future healthy 9 months and a healthy baby!

Answer

I had a second trimester loss - full delivery and d&c - I was cleared after 6 weeks to start 
TTC.

Just keep an eye for anything funky going on down there. You know your body best :)

Answer

2nd trimester loss as well here. I was told to in one pamphlet to wait 10 days, but in another to wait 4-6 weeks. Anyway, I hadn't seen the 4-6 week recommendation so I just went with the 10 day one and had sex at 3 weeks (We tried once before that but, kinda embarrassing, I started crying. Which apparently a lot of women find sex to be a trigger for their loss initially. So we waited another week.)

Answer

I had a second trimester loss as well.  We had sex the day I stopped bleeding; about 2 weeks post d&c
