We've been there once.... at 16 weeks.... and woohoo it was goooo-ooood ! But I really can't be arsed at the mo... just doesn't appeal. I'd rather read a book !!

My hubby wouldnt do it at all in the first 12 weeks - worried about 'proding the bean'.....
We did manage to do it at 12 weeks....I had to beg him though.....nothing since.....
We went out for dinner tonight and I told him I read that orgasms cause the baby to cling on tighter.....I'll let you know if I get lucky......

we did it regularly (couldnt give an exact amout per week) up until my first bleed then gave it a miss, i was ready waaaaay before OH was but after a chat we're back to normal well to be honest better than normal he's a bit more sensitive towards me and my needs....

I think it's natural to wonder if you're hurting LO at all, but don't worry, baby is well protected from everything, I think I read actually that baby feels the "rocking motion" of the act, and tightening of muscles as mommy is having an orgasm, but no discomfort at all. I'd encourage you to give it a try, if it feels a little uncomfortable, change positions. Usually best with if your belly is getting bigger is having your man behind you, or else you on top. Go get some girl!

P.S. I'm totally jealous. Between me feeling fat and frumpy and sick, and other marital issues we're having, there has been no BD'ing at my house in quite a while.

welllll... its not that i dont want it by any means, i am actually wanting it more than EVER lol! BUT, im afraid of him being too rough. ive just been secretly taking care of myself when hes not around lol (but thats not fair)

i know im afraid bc the doc did an internal scan when i was 12 weeks and the baby was asleep so he took the "wand" and tapped my cervix, the baby went wacko jumping all around... and i know when we have sex my DH hits it with his um wand soooo everytime i just picture my bean shaken up to all hell! the mental pic kills me.

and im (TMI ahead) afraid that our sex is a little more than a slight "rocking motion" (thats what scares me, are we supposed to be very careful? (not rough)

HAHA cling on tighter

did you really read that?!?!?!

this thread has had my sniggering.
I'm the same. Don't worry. These days it's more about finding a comfortable position though. I have had knee problems for years and operations and physio haven't helped much. But, because of this problem, being on my knees for too long is agony for me so... no me on top and no from behind.

By the time we've gone through about 5-6 dif positions trying to get into a comfortable one we're that exhausted and frustrated that we end up giving up anyway

From the very beginning though I had this fear that baby was being squished. I read an article about sex during pregnany though and one question was "Will the baby feel us?" the answer was "Of course your baby is going to feel and hear you but they're not going to know what's going on and they wont remember." Somehow that hasn't put me at ease lol.

Erm... well not really but it helped!!

We managed it last night but I have to say I was a little nervous about him getting into it. Anyway it was fine and my man's not the gentlest either....but he seemed to know to take it steady.

I had a big rush of wanting sex for one weekend, but that has gone, and I'm off it again. It just feels weird, but it doesn't hurt the baby at all. I think it must be like being in the sea for them or something being rocked about!
