How far along did you stop being intimate?

I am 15 weeks along and it feels like these weeks are flying by me now. Me and my Husband were being intimate last night and it hurt a little bit which has not happened before. It was the same old same old it was not like he was being extra rough or anything. When did you stop making love to your husband? was it because your doctor had told you it would cause preterm labor? or were you just not able to do it anymore?

 

The night before my c/s. However, as I got bigger we had to find a position that would work, which was a bit of a challenge. I had a normal pregnancy and had no risk factors, so did not have to worry about pre-term labor. I delivered them at 37.1 weeks, but only because I'm 5'1" and ran out of space. I would not have gone into labor even then.

 

It's gotten harder now being almost 32 weeks to find something that is comfortable for me. We haven't stopped yet. Only thing that may have slowed us down the most so far is me feeling huge and not wanting him to see me naked, silly I know. I think it's important though to keep it up as long as possible during your pregnancy to keep that spark going. If it hurts you may want to speak with your doc see if there is a specific reason to your pain?

 

At my 34 week OB appointment I was told to slow down and stop working/no more sex.

 

2 days before my scheduled induction.

 

We stopped making love around 15, 16 weeks I think. (?). My reason was that I was tired of worrying about things going wrong. For me it was like one less thing to worry about if we don't make love. No preterm birth risks for me either. Delivered my 1st child full term. I am just a worry wart.

 

i didn't have much desire during the 1st trimester (waaaay too tired) but it picked up again in the 2nd trimester. then at 27 weeks i was put on bedrest for PTL so no more for us!

 

At 5 months. I just was too big and uncomfortable.

 

i'm a very much "do me now" type pregnant girl. my ob said as long as i wasn't having alot of contractions during sex and wasn't placed on bedrest at all, then i had the green light for as long as i was comfortable.

still going strong at 23.5wks

 

Dr told me to stop at 17 weeks because I had a very short cervix and put on bedrest.

 

We stopped around 8/9 weeks. ardon: I was very paranoid that something would go wrong because of having sex, so both me and my husband agreed we'd wait until after. We did try around 30 weeks and it was a no go. :laughing:

 

we continued until about 6wks (found out at 3 1/2 wks), but then I was found to have a hematoma which was causing spotting so I was placed on partial bedrest. Didn't do anything again until RE gave us the green light around 15wks. Since then, it has been good as long as we find positions that work for both of us (mostly what we call "lazy sex" which is him spooning me on our sides). It isn't as often as before pg, but we still go for it from time to time. The first tri is hard anyways because you are just soooo tired, but even though I am still tired, as long as I am able to get some rest during the day, I can get some energy in the evenings or in the mornings. Good luck!!

 

This is GREAT - I am at 28 wks and feel really bad for my hubby cause i have not been into it or comfortable with sex for at least 4 wks now....and I was just going to ask this same question to y'all! I am willing to give him some relief if he needs it, just wondering if it was "safe" at this stage or if it would bring on labor. thinking that is not gonna happen, unless I get some "relief" as well from it, which is not very likely right now!

 

It stopped being comfortable around 20 or so, just couldn't find a position. But at 31 weeks my doc said we still can, buit to use condoms to avoid any projesterone which could induce labor. Haven't tried since...
