Sex while pregnant

Please excuse the spicy topic but I need some advise/reassurance and hear others experiences. I had a miscarriage back in Jan and as fair as miscarriages go, it was pretty straightforward. Sex afterward has been somewhat more difficult as I was stressed and my husband was stressed and we were just desperate to conceive again. I am now pregnant again and now at 7 weeks but me and my husband haven’t had sex since just before we found out I was pregnant (so nearly a month now). We both want to but I am just too scared… Everywhere says that sex during pregnancy is safe, but I am just absolutely terrified that it can affect the pregnancy and somehow cause a miscarriage. Has anybody had similar experiences? What did you do? I don’t want to not have sex for the next 8 months…

I had a miscarriage in January too and I am now 13 weeks pregnant and me and my partner had sex for the first time last night since I found out. I was too scared to do it as well, I know it had nothing to do with the miscarriage but last time I started bleeding and I think it’s just made me overthink. But I’ve had no bleeding this time, we just went very gentle and not too deep either! Sorry for the tmi x

I waited until my first ultrasound like my doctor told me to but once your doc says it’s okay your free to go just not to rough work your way into it don’t rush.

We waited, both our MC's lined up to when we had sex so waited for 12 week scan and knew everything was OK, Drs told us sex doesn't effect it but the one pregnancy we didn't was a success xx

Thank you! I think I will probably wait till 12 weeks then, not too long now, what’s another 5 weeks 😅

Omg! This is me and my partner too.. I’m absolutely terrified as well. We had a MC in Jan and I’m currently 6w 4d pregnant. Like you say, what’s another 5 weeks ay 😅🤣

It took my husband and I a while to feel comfortable with sex too early on in our pregnancy after a miscarriage. I think it’s a common feeling. We got more comfortable the further we got into the pregnancy, so don’t think it will be the full 8 months.
