I woke up this AM to brown spotting. It was dried on my panties.
I specifically stayed home from the 18 mile bike ride yesterday to avoid any undue harm to my baby.
DH and I had sex again yesterday. I wish I had kept track of each time like I was when we were TTC. Ever since we got our BFP, he can't (and won't) keep his hands off of me. You might remember from another post, I asked him to wait until our 1st appt (8/15) to make sure it's okay to be having this much sex. I told him how concerned I was he could bump my cervix (I'm wicked petite) and injure the plug, and everything in general. Aaahhh! I just want someone to tell me I'm indeed PG, and it's alive & healthy! Anyway, it kept him off me for a few days. ![]()
I've talked and talked to him, but I can't figure out why he wants to have sex 24/7. I hate having to snap at him occassionally because he just can't keep it in his head that I'm nervous and would be more willing to have sex if I knew things were in the clear. Part of me thinks it's cuz there's no AF... and my boobs are a little swollen (I'm completely flat chested so some volume is new to us) ... maybe he thinks once I start showing that sex as we know it is over ... or that once the baby comes it'll be over? I don't know but it's getting old, and I'm praying this spotting was from the sex and that it's already over and we didn't hurt our baby.
Anyone else's husbands do nothing but hump you once you got BFP? Or any other ideas as to how I can get through to him and make him cool it? I need help!
Re: I need him to stop humping my bump! :(

lol...looks like I'm not the only one that married a fiend. My hubby's sex drive is unquenchable! We already have sex quite often 3-4 times a week (which is ALOT for me, geez let a girl watch some tv time to time).
Unfortunately due to me spotting dr put me on pelvic rest. He won't say anything, but I can tell he's dying inside, especially with me having gone up a cup size. ha ha I told him it's practice for the 6wks after the baby is born. He's too sweet to complain though, but when his showers take a little longer than usual, I'll know why
I'm so glad to know I'm not alone in this!
Leneae10--Thank you! I'd never let a man abuse me in that way, but I do agree he was being immature and only thinking about his perspective!
ctmom2011--I did think of that, but just haven't yet...clearly a good option!
Oliversmom--I'm so sorry for your previous loss! All of your ideas are great!
Thank you all so much for sharing! I talked with DH again about the spotting and he didn't know it could be a sign of MC. I have an emotional DH...He is so remorseful it's almost breaking my heart. But if it's old blood though, it must not be from sex yesterday then??? I'm going to call the Dr.'s office tomorrow and see if there's any openings with a nurse.
Yeah tell you DH to grow the frig up...if having sex gives you anxiety now then he has to wait. I don't care what his sex drive is like. I spotted during sex with my first pregnancy and when I would call the Dr they would tell me to hold off until I saw them. This time around I spotted the first time, saw my Dr and all was ok. It took me a few weeks to want to try again and even then DH asked me 10-15 times if I was sure b/c he didn't want to do anything that made me worry. We did and he took it really easy as to not hit my cervix since we know I have a really sensitve one and it was ok.
I think it is really imature of your DH to make you do something that leaves him satisfied and you scared and worried.
ETA: I will add that having sex can not cause a miscarriage but you should not be still doing it if your spotting. What your DH has to realize is he has a long road ahead where sex will not be wanted or ok. I ended up on pelvic rest from 20 weeks on last time and then the 6 weeks of post partum bleeding. There will be many weeks of no sex so he better get use to it
I have to be honest, I am with the other gals on this post that are concerned. What is wrong with your H that he doesn't understand no means no? Is it that you said no and then he forced you to have sex in some way or you said no and he still seduced you? I am not trying to flame you, I am just worried about you if it's the former. If it's the latter then I guess that's an understandable self-control issue on your part as well.
