Is it safe to have sex?

If you've had a miscarriage is it okay to have sex once your pregnant again? My husband refuses to have sex until I'm further along & I understand his concern but I don't think sex would cause a miscarriage if you are very careful but I don't want to risk it either?

    yes. it is safe to have sex during pregnancy, *unless* you have been diagnosed with an "incompetent" cervix in which any irritation may cause it to change. 

    Husbands tend to think they are "all that" and they will disrupt the baby, but chances are, they aren't even close to your cervix, and even if they hit the cervix (ouch!), there is still the uterus, amniotic sac to protect the baby. Not to mention the fact that there is a LOT of space in your uterus right now. 

    They *say* sex in late term can cause ctrx and commence labor.. never had that happen (even when I tried to get things going).. including achieving orgasm in the mother... nada.. zip.. zilch...

    Unless your OB says there is a reason to abstain, sex is perfectly fine throughout pregnancy. 

    It might be helpful to consult "Dr. Google" and show your DH some anatony diagrams/photos to help put him at ease. 

    GL!

    It can cause a little bleeding which might freak him out. Maybe just wait a little bit and then try so that he doesn't get scared off for good!

    I had some spotting after sex, but I am pretty sure it's safe. Wait until the end when your husband won't come near you because they are afraid they will hit the baby in the head. Silly men.

    Sex during pregnancy is really a case by case basis. You should check with your doctor to make sure that it's safe for you.

    It's probably okay, but check with your doctor. Mine told me no sex until my u/s at 6w. But I had some cramping and minor spotting around 4 weeks and an early loss last month. My DH isn't loving the wait :P

    Unless your Dr has advised against it or you have been put on pelvic rest it should fine, if your husband is really concerned you can have him talk to your Dr and hear its okay directly from him
