Just another question..

TwiCaliKat

Well, I have to say that we are in our first trimester and are thrilled since we tried for four years straight to have another child.  My first is now 7 and over the moon at the idea of having a sibling.

 

So, here's the question(s):

I'm paranoid to have sex right now.  I've been cramping since the beginning of the month and am only about 6 weeks along.  I haven't been to the doc yet so I don't know what to think.

 

I have had wicked heartburn already.  I know part of this is due to the acid reflex issue.  What types of foods can I eat to avoid this?? 

 

Thanks!!

I've been told cramping is normal and as long as there is no blood I would be ok.

I was ok'd for sex, just don't feel like having much with the nausea and all that fun stuff.  I imagine as long as you don't do any crazy acrobatic type sexyness then all should be find.   

I had heartburn non stop with my first. I just carried TUMS with me everywhere.  Ate them like candy.  Yay for calcium!  Most DRs will also OK certain heartburn medicines.

I'd give them a call and have them give you a list of things they consider OK.  Every DR is different so any advice we give you here, could be completely opposite of what your doc wants.  In the end, its really whatever you're comfortable doing with your body and baby

Enjoy sexy time...and congrats!

 Thank you!! I am just so afraid that having sex would cause me to lose the baby and we've tried so hard just to get pregnant.  I was about to throw the towel in and say to heck with it.  I have to make an appt. tomorrow so I'll try to write everything down.  Congrats on your miracle

I'm afraid to have sex too!  I know most couples have sex during 1st trimester without any complications. I haven't been to the doctor yet, so I told my husband that he has to wait until at least we meet with the doctor!

I too have been cramping (about five weeks along). As of late I've been *ahem* very interested in sex From what I've been told as long as there is no blood you're in the clear.

No help on the heart burn though sorry. Tums?

Re sex. I am VERY paranoid too. In fact, we haven't had sex since the BFP and don't intend to. I know it sounds crazy but there is enough to worry about I don't need this!

Sex is totally fine and safe during pregnancy unless you have a condition and your doctor tells you to avoid it. However, if you don't feel comfortable, just don't do it.

As for heartburn... I had it real bad with DD and learned quickly that I had to avoid cheese and bread, which was terrible because I always wanted a bagel and cream cheese! I lived on tums and drank a lot of milk. Typically with heartburn you stay away from dairy and spicy/acidic foods.

If there's no blood you're in the clear. Cramping is normal. It's something I experienced early on as well. After all, there's something new that's randomly popped up in your body, it's going to freak out a little! :P Don't worry about it. Have fun

My doctor says sex is fine as long as no bleeding. With my first I didn't want at all but this time around I have wanted to all the time and I am only at about 5 weeks. Do what you are comfortable with.
