Well..... for some reason my app wasn't working for a few days. This is crazy! I took the comment as rude to just deal with it. Some people think they just know everything. I never said sex was more important than a healthy baby sorry if anyone thought that. I follow all the rules my doctor gives me, and i would never do anything to harm myself or child. My husband, and I happen to enjoy sex, and sharing that bond. Yes, we did miss it, yes we were allowed to do other things. Also not that anyone cares about it NOW, but my previa did move. Me, and the baby are perfectly healthy. Thanks to everyone that had something nice,and positive to say.
I do feel you on this. My husband and I enjoy a very active sex life and I MISS it. I miss that connection, especially now with my changing body, also since-unlike some others, I did not lose my sex drive when I got pregnant. Emotionally it feels like a big deal to me. The abrupt pause of my sex life has been a genuine gripe related to my pregnancy.
I would think that it's just stating the obvious that a healthy baby is more important, but I guess this comment needs that disclaimer, lest others click their tongues and think that a quick thrill is being put before the health of our babies. Not at all. But it sure is nice to be able to relate to other woman who are facing the same particular challenges. There are worse things, but these are OUR things. Thanks for posting @SusanS118.
ETA at 21 weeks, I am still very much full previa. Praying for it to MOVE A LOT!
@SisterSunshine : I do need to point out that no one (including me) said that abrupt cessation of intercourse didn't stink for the active, healthy couple.
In fact, we acknowledged that the loss of intimacy can be a big deal, but honestly once you get pregnant it's not about just you anymore. So it's not like anyone shrugged the question off.
There are many other ways to maintain & foster intimacy as a couple than intercourse or even orgasm. Massage, meditation, even just some sensual kissing or touch.
IMHO, look at this situation as an opportunity to expand your tool box & sexual repertoire. Look outside P in V sex & look into other methods. You might find a new favorite.
