Sex FAIL

StefB28

There are lots of posts about sex today, so I thought I'd throw another post out there!

Saturday morning, DH and I tried to have sex for the first time since this baby was conceived-- yes, it's been 2 1/2 months. After having DS, we just never got our groove back-- in fact, we've only had sex like 5 times since September & the last time resulted in this pregnancy. (Crazy.)

So, we were both really into it...until we switched positions and I noticed that DH was covered in blood. I reached down to check myself and my hand was covered in blood. Cue freak out! I was crying and I called the doctor who said that it was most likely normal (since we had been having sex) and told me to just wait and see if it stopped after a few minutes. It did & I didn't have any cramping so I assume everything is ok... but it was really scary. I didn't have ANY spotting while I was pregnant with DS.

I'm glad everything is ok...and now I'm just pissed we didn't get to finish. Hope it's not another 2 months before we try again.

That would be so scary. We haven't had sex since finding out. I am terrified because of all the stories. I told him we are waiting until 13 weeks! He is very understanding and is okay with it. I'm glad the doctor thought it was ok!

Yikes!  I'm glad you're okay.

Yes, my DH has never given me a hard time about it... I think sex has (unfortunately) taken a backseat on the priority list for both of us. Many days, I'm tired from being a SAHM to DS (& I work two days a week) & when I was breastfeeding (I did for 6 months, but quit when I found out I was pregnant again), I often didn't want to be touched. DH works full time, plus he's a full time grad student at a school in another state-- so he stays pretty tired & stressed, too. We love each other and we'll get it back eventually-- it hasn't caused a strain on our marriage, but I do feel closer to him when we're having sex somewhat regularly. I made him promise we'd try again soon.

OMG I would have been terrified!  Glad that you've recovered well, but still, I think I'd be off sex for a while if that happened!

Oh no! We haven't had sex since we conceived, either, due to spotting.

I go off Prometrium in a week and I told dh that we could then, but now I am worried!

I hope everything is ok and you can try again.

DH and I had a similar situation around 8 weeks. I was terrified. Same thing crying and called the Doctor... it was very scary. We waited til just a few days ago.... took it easy and everything was fine. My advice would be to try again in a week or so. Its not harming the baby so even if you bleed a little its okay.

I know how you feel... I think we have only had sex once since we conceived... I have been having a lot of bleeding issues this time around so the OB has told us to hold off for now.... Who knows when we'll be able to get our groove back

OMG I would freak out that must have been terrifying. SO and I have had sex like twice mainly because of my crazy MS that makes me vomit 3-4 times a day everyday. Luckily he is very understanding

My DH is deployed but before he left we had sex once after we found out. I almost puked all over him but I hid my sickness pretty well and finished. After that he got nothing before he left. Poor guy. Now I just want him home so I can get at it haha.
