"getting it on" while pregnant with twins....

TMI possibly....

my frist tri i had an SCH and was sort of banned from intercourse until it went away....it's been gone for OVER a month now and i am a few weeks into the second trimester....doc said i am OK now and can resume "normal activities"  ha!! ...my POOR DH b/c despite the OK it still makes me nervous ...

what were your feelings on this whole subject and were you restricted by the doc at one point at not at another....did you find it hard to enjoy due to nerves? 

sorry if this is too personal ...i just feel conflicted in my brain!!

I've been in a very similar situation, I had a SCH bleeding episode at week 11 and it went straight to spotting after the big bleed.  My OB has told me to avoid sex until the spotting went away.  It did Sunday, we DTD (and weirdly though I'd really been kind of sex crazed before that, it took a while for us to get comfortable with it again), but then the spotting came back a little so we're holding off again.  Since yours has been clear for a while, you probably won't have the same problem I would imagine.

It was a little nervous, but it wasn't too bad.  We did other things while I am/was on restriction, so he wasn't quite so pent up at least

Good luck gettin' bizzy!

I've felt weird about it ever since I found out I'm having twins. Probably doesn't help that DH keeps cracking jokes about foursomes?  My doc hasn't said anything about staying away from the good stuff, but I've read that pelvic rest after about week 20 is a good idea. Honestly.. don't think I'll miss it all that much since I haven't had those raging secksy hormones that everyone talks about, and I don't expect them to appear in 3rd tri.

I have a septate uterus and baby A's placenta started to detach from the septum around 13 wks, creating a bleed. MFM and OBGYN couldn't figure out where bleed was coming from and thus put me and DH into no fun zone The bleed went on for about 8 wks and mysteriously quit. MFM figured out why I bled and then gave us green light 2 wks ago. The point of my story lol.....DH and I both were crazy nervous the first couple times but after seeing that everything is okay we have calmed down and are enjoying our time. So, relax and have fun

Unfortunately, my DH is suffering because I am nervous about it all.  I was on pelvic rest, from about weeks 9-16 I think.  We did it a few times after that, but sometimes it seems to start contractions if I O, so I don't want to do it anymore.  My OB just told me on Monday (without me asking) to hold off on sex again, so as not to "stir the pot."

I hadn't been nervous about it at all, however, I have been very uncomfortable and it's really been the furthest thing from my mind. With the twins, I'm so much bigger and it's hard to get into a position that doesn't hurt/make me uncomfortable.

We pretty much avoided sex completely after the first tri-and it didn't happen much in the first tri.  Once the babies started moving around, he was weirded out by it.  I wasn't exactly complaining.  Sad but true.

The last 2 times we had sex it took me hours to catch my breath again. We've tried several positions and already none of them are comfortable.

We'll be taking part in alternative activities from here on out I'm afraid.
