Rough sex during pregnancy?

I know this may be a little too much information but has anyone else had rough sex during pregnancy? I'm getting a little worried because my partner and I got a little carried away, Im 6 weeks and 3 days. What are your thoughts on rough sex during pregnancy?

Re: Rough sex during pregnancy?

  • My OB said sex is fine during pregnancy however DH can't have at me like we use to. I actually didn't ask for specifics on why though. Hopefully other ladies can give you better advice in this topic. I would also say as long as it's not followed by bleeding and cramping you should be OK, but it shouldn't be a normal occurrence... Hope that helps!!!

  • Yes, im defiantly going to start taking it easy from now on. Im not bleeding and I don't have any pains so I feel fine. I'll just have to speak to my OB when I first meet him next week hopefully. Thanks so much for your advice! :)
  • I feel so bad bc I've been a little afraid to have sex (altho I really want to) because last year I had bright red spotting at 5w after sex and that ended in a blighted ovum at 8w. I've been overly cautious this go around and I feel bad for DH. We have our 1st appt on the 10th and it would be cruel to make him wait any longer. I won't be doing it rough tho...and I keep telling myself what's meant to be will be. He keeps asking "when will the really horny side of pregnancy start?" Lol
  • As long as you aren't bleeding/cramping afterward, I'm sure it's safe. We had sex a lot (rough sometimes too) with pregnancy #1 and everything turned out fine.
  • Enjoy it while you can! It get really tricky later on. Sometimes later on you will bleed after sex anyway. It should always be light spotting and that's normal. Happened to me a lot toward the end. Sometimes orgasms will make you cramp, so don't freak about that one either. I promise, you will know the difference between light cramping and heavy cramping like a m/c. Enjoy for now!
  • From what I've been told by my doctor and from what I've read, even early on, and even with gentle sex, bleeding can still happen due to a very sensitive cervix. I'm a prime example - I've bled every time we've had sex so far, and my husband had been very careful to make sure it's gentle and that I'm not hurting during it at all. It always stops within 20 minutes and isn't accompanied by cramping, so I'm trying not to let it scare me out of sex, but our frequency has definitely gone down since I found out. On the plus side, I seem to bleed a little less each time, so I'm hoping that means things are setlling down in there.

  • @adtaylor2015‌ thanks for your advice! I feel so much better. Even though I felt fine after having rough sex and it didn't hurt at all and I have no bleeding I think I'm just going to be very cautious for the rest of my pregnancy.
  • @babypiccolatte‌ thanks for that! I have read about some cramping after orgasms and I defiantly can feel it sometimes. Just as long as I know it's normal! :)
  • @shirelle126‌ I know what you mean!!i get a little scared to have sex sometimes too but as the other ladies say, sex is healthy during pregnancy if your having a normal pregnancy :) so try not to worry unless you have bleeding or it hurts.

    You're welcome! I know after I found out I was pregnant with #1, my husband and I both were extra cautious during sex and extremely gentle because we were afraid of it hurting the baby. So I totally understand your concerns. Thankfully sex is not only safe but actually beneficial during pregancy. :)
  • @adtaylor2015‌ it's great to know sex is beneficial during pregnancy, atleast I know I'm not doing any harm :)

    Amen! I had a lot of bleeding my last pregnancy, and so I have been reluctant to have sex too, my poor poor hubby. But I gave in too and told myself if it's meant to be for us it will! I totally understand being afraid but knowing that we should be ok! :)
