Sex
Posted: 02-15-06 09:10am

I'm 11 weeks and 5 days. My husband and I had sex almost every night before we found out I was pregnant. Since we found out we have only been together twice. He claims he dosen't want to hurt the baby or me. This is our first child. What can I do to change his mind?
Thanks amber

Find on the internet a site where is confirms that sex is ok for you and baby...Or have him go to the Dr. With you so the Dr. Can confirm it!! Then he has no excuses!!!!

Lol....He's prob. Just really paranoid and doesn't want anything to happen...Then for it to be because he wanted sex to boot!! Lol....

Good luck!

Yep, I agree. Let him read what you find on the net and if he doesn't listen let your Dr. Tell him that it's ok.

As the other girls said assure him its ok and wont hurt the baby but he may be thinking of you as a mother figure now as well and feel uncomfortable having sex knowing his baby is in there. Theres a topic in the third trimester section about men not liking the belly, that is probably worth a read too.

Sex during pregnancy is perfectly healthy. He cannot hurt the baby!! Unless he's superman and can penetrate your cervix. =)
i agree with sarah, he's probably just a little weirded out by the fact that you're a mommy now. A lot of guys go through that and don't really know how to handle what they're feeling/thinking. Just talk to him about it.

I can't remember the show, but I saw on one tv show (or movie?) once where this woman was having a hard time convincing her husband that it was ok to have sex while she was pregnant. The analogy she used was something along the lines of:

think of one of those houses with a garage attached that just has a door linking the two. The baby is inside the house. You are parking your car in the garage. No matter how big and how impressive you might think your car is, you will never be able to get it through that little door and into the house.

Lol I thought it was funny, at least.

Amber, It's Ok
Posted: 02-20-06 17:17pm

Amber,
having sex during the first trimester is ok. It's normal. Your husband won't hurt the baby or you.... Infact sex is encouraged. Though mostly during your last trimester. But he won't hurt the baby, as it is protected by your womb and all that. If you are worried, ask your doctor. Also go and buy this book: what to expect when your expecting. It is wonderful. It has answered all of my questions, since I am pregnant with my first child as well.
