Odd question

Kate

OK, I have kind of a weird question but I’m hoping it won’t be judged. I suffered a second trimester miscarriage last week. physically, I’ve been doing OK. The discharge paperwork said not to have sex or use a tampon for six weeks. I’ll be seeing my doctor again next week for a follow up and I’m sure we’ll talk about when we can start trying again. Do you think masturbation is safe, if it’s external only? I know that’s the last thing that should be on my mind, but I’m just curious about other peoples thoughts.. Thank you.
