I never do. I've lost a few and while I have been assured by my OB that DTD is completely safe, I just don't so there's one less thing I can feel guilty about IYKWIM. My DH has always been very understanding - he's gone through 2.5 full pregnancies with next to no sex.
i think whatever the medical advice is is probably irrelevant in this situation - just do what you're comfortable with and chat to your DH.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope you have a healthy and very uneventful 8 odd months.
I've had two 'text book' pregnancies, labours and birth that resulted in two happy, healthy little boys and we DTD as often as we usually would. But as previous post have said you just have to make sure you're comfortable with it. Your DH will survive
We don't in the first trimester due to my history of m/c. I know deep down that my m/c had nothing to do with having or not having sex but I don't want any more what ifs? running through my head. I think if you discuss this openly with your DH, I am sure he will understand. There are other ways to be intimate without having intercourse.
Thank you so much for your responses ladies and for being so open and understanding about my concerns.
I feel so silly avoiding it when it is how I got pg in the first place but this new little life inside of me means everything to me so I will definitely take everyone's advice and do whatever I'm comfortable with.
