How hard is too hard?

Sorry if this is too much info but I was wondering what's the rule with sex during early pregnancy? I'm 5w 6d and I just want to make sure we aren't doing it too hard or anything like that to harm the pregnancy/baby.

  • I told dh no sex because I have been spotting off and on. I finally gave in, we haven't since babe was concieved, and I've had mild cramping but no spotting. What pp said, it may cause spotting but unless you're on pelvic rest, go on and get some ;)
  • I agree with pp.....it's not even a little appealing right now haha
  • Anything is fine unless your doctor says otherwise. Sometimes I wish it wasn't allowed...

  • I'm impressed you even want to have sex.

    Hah, I was thinking the same thing

    ;)
  • OP I know your question has been answered, but I just wanted to chime in to say you're not the odd preggo out! Hubby and I still enjoy plenty of sexy time (rough or not). All that matters is that you both enjoy doing it!

  • As long as it in not causing any pain, go wild! Sex can get a little more challenging the rounder you get, so have a blast now while you still feel good. As long as you are having a normal pregnancy, baby is perfectly safe in there. :-)
  • Can't wait to tell my husband this ;)
  • I'm 8 weekso and me and hubby have rough sex a lot lol but ob said it's fine as long as no severe cramps or bleeding so have fun your most sensitive when pregnant.
  • Honestly, I have been so sick that we have to take it a little easy. Makes it a little hard to enjoy myself when I just want to puke!
  • This is prob TMI, but I'd say you are really missing out on some serious pregnancy coital hormone highs if you are abstaining. If only it was always like this. Also, it seems to quell the MS for the exact amount of time it's all going on.

    Not for me! Last time we had sex I thought I was going to throw up a few times. It was distracting.

    I'd also like to add that for some of us it's not because of MS or because we don't WANT to. I would love to be humping it out right now. For me, it's because it's been physically uncomfortable with all the changes happening in my vag region lately. Up until last week, banging couldn't happen without my cervix feeling like it was being ripped to shreds. Thankfully, this feeling has started subsiding.
  • I'm double checking at my ten week visit next week as well hahaha

    Maybe, but the idea of humping right now makes me want to heave.
    For reals. The thought of the motion alone makes me queasy!
  • So, my husband and I have had plenty of sex since we conceived. We haven't changed anything, and it's been fine. We our expecting our second (four pregnancies, including two miscarriages), and so we knew what to expect. Take it from us old folks, that it's perfectly fine. The only time to stop is if it hurts or you're bleeding more than spotting.

  • I love sex. Like crazy love it. And DH and I have had a tiny fraction of it compared to normal since I got KU - 95% because of nausea and 5% cramps/feeling like shit otherwise. I can't wait till I start feeling better again. I still have the desire but because of how I feel physically it also sounds like the worst idea in the world.

     

    And I'm glad the OP asked this question. I knew it was safe to have sex but was wondering on the "how hard" part.

  • I didn't have sex at all last pregnancy because a) Felt disgusting 1st Tri and b) I had a diagnosed low-lying placenta from early 2nd Tri through 34 weeks. I also feel like something is not right down there and need to meet with my OB before I even consider sex. My poor DH.


  • I don't want to be jiggled about right now.

    When I get home- All I want is to put my feet up and be in pajamas. I am way too tired & bloated to even think about getting naked! Been keeping up about 1-2x/week to keep DH happy.

    Envious of all you people feeling well enough! I kind of feel bad for DH but MS kicked in these last 3 days and it is just not looking good :-S
