so maybe im just being selfish, but is anyone else having problems with their partner.my husband doesnt want to have sex with me very often anymore, for fear of the baby. we used to have it like 4 or 5 times a week now im lucky if its once a week.He said he feels weird, that he might be poking her in the head or something..lol.
Can anyone help on what to say to him to say its ok, cos he doesnt believe me.

U can tell him the baby isnt even really in your vagina and sex is safe unless a doctor tells you otherwise! The baby is safely tucked way up, inside of your uterus, and by a pint or more of water. So even if he was well endowed, and could possibly reach up to where your uterus is, it wouldnt hurt a thing.

Wow. yeah I would be upset not to have sex. I have it pretty much everyday. There is no reason for your husband to believe that he will hurt the baby. Especially at early stages. The only thing I find is that I am not as easily turned on and have a more difficult time peaking( hope this isnt to much info). I would think the concerns should be more for how you feel. Sometimes sex can make you nausous or dizzy. Let your husband know its okay to have sex. Have your doctor tell him if he doesnt believe you. good luck

My boyfriend is the complete opposite he harrasses always which i find funny because i am the one that has turned off sex but i have to say we still do it 3 times a week maybe more and its alot of fun for the both of us. Baby will be fine. Just tell him to enjoy it and have loads of fun and laughter.. Take care.. Chrissi.. x

well im 8 weeks gone now (i think no scan date yet) and my partner is ok with sex although he is much more gentle that normal...lol for fear of the baby i think too?
i know sex is ok during pregnancy but im wondering myself is unprotected sex with my partner ok as it seams silly to use protection now...lol i mean they say it brings on labor in late pregnancy but what about early pregnancy, is it dangerous? anyone know?

Hello ladies. Im 24weeks gone with a wee boy. Dont worry about sex, theres a thick mucus plug that blocks the cervix and your baby is cushioned by lots of amniotic fluid!!!your baby will feel nothing and will not knowing your having sex and it WILL NOT hurt baby either. All baby feels is swaying, like your out for a brisk walk. Only avoid sex if your doctor or gp has advised you to because of previous m/c's ect.....dnt worry!! at least u still have ur libido!.......i dnt no what sex is now! xxxx

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
