Am I Overreacting?

megnallen

My DH is insisting that we start using condoms again while I am pregnant. I guess his mom and his cousin has told him that I will probably get pregnant right after I have the baby if we don't use condoms while I am pregnant. Am I overreacting by being so upset by this? I would rather not use them, but  what can I do? He is so paranoid about me getting pregnant again as soon as we have our baby.

This makes no sense.....

After you have the baby would make sense but not while you are pregnant. I don't get the thought process behind that.

megnallen

It doesn't make any sense to me either. I try to tell him it's pointless to use condoms while pregnant but his mother told him that I will become pregnant right after the baby if we don't.....

I agree. It's not like the sperm will live in there for months. And you aren't supposed to have sex for 6 weeks poatpartum anyway.

To be honest, his mother sounds like a complete idiot.

That is completely ridiculous. 1 sperm won't live that long. 2 I'm pretty sure there's a nothing in the vagina rule for at least six weeks post partum as well.

There is zero reason for you to use condoms right now. Your MIL is stupid.

If you absolutely hate condoms you should look into getting an IUD after you have the baby.

Sounds like the perfect question to ask your doctor the next time you guys go. Some people will not believe unless they hear it from a doctor. That is a little crazy, though. I am always amazed how illinformed people are the ones that want to give advice the most.

Completely agree, have your doctor convince him that way it won't be a battle between MIL's opinion and yours.

I wouldn't want to have sex with someone who's dumb enough to believe this anyway.

Not overreacting at all. I would be upset too! Bring it up at our next doctors appointment in front of DH so the doctor can address it! There is no way that I would be okay with using condoms at this point! GL

If this isn't MUD, then you have the dumbest MIL on the planet and I question your husband's intelligence for believing such ridiculousness.

This can't be real. If it is, your husband, his mother and his cousin need a remedial biology class immediately.

kje120

You have 32 weeks (give or take) until the baby is born. I think it's weird that he insists on wearing them while you are pregnant, but I can see him wanting to start using them once the baby is born.  Using them now makes no sense.

Actually there is a rule for most patients after giving vaginal birth that you do not have sex for 6 weeks post partum.

Please educate yourself on birth and after birth before releasing misinformation on the board. For many women this is their first pregnancy and birth. This is my 3rd. So I have done the birth thing a few times.

I think you misunderstood her post. You are repeating exacting what she said... nothing in the vagina for at least 6 weeks post partum.

The phrase, nothing in the vagina, is inclusive of no sex.

So what you are telling us is that your husband is cheating on you and doesn't want to expose you and the baby to his new girlfriend's STD's. Gotcha.

No, your post was the last one on the thread at the time. I think you and I must have been posting at the same time. Sorry about that!

First of all, no. Just... no.

Second of all, why is your MIL commenting on your and your H's sex life, anyway? I find that a little creepy.
