Ok ladies, before I start I shall warn you.. VERY TMI

.
...
....

Me and OH got told at our 20 week scan that placenta was quite low, and that we'd need further scans at 32 and 36 weeks. Now, as we lost two last year, we've already been holding back a lot in our usual 2x a day sex life... Which is honestly killing both of us! but we also don't want to do anything that would cause any kind of damage

Anyway, we have been good, even in terms of oral (because although thats nice, what I want is SEX!!!) And we were talking and wondered whether anal would be bad for low lying placenta... we're not exactly frequent at that in general, but have dabbled (as you do!)

We're getting married next week, and already desperate for sex, we were hoping to of course, consummate... but after some googling apparently as the muscle is SO close, anal is not that great of an either...

Feel like screaming, we both just half laughed and said that we don't wanna just do oral and/or shallow sex, what we want is like our old sessions lol. Oral doesn't satisfy the NEEEEEEED

What would you ladies do? Hold off or risk it?

Maybe speak to your midwife or doctor, if they say it's okay to "resume activities" then carry on

Apparently we have to see if the placenta moves up and the only way is a scan? I see MW on tues... likelihood of a quickie scan to check? xxx

I have the same problem but we have been having sex (as we never got told otherwise) and we havent had any problems, obviously if you feel uncomfortable in anyway stop,but i would talk to your midwife just to get reassurance x

First of all let me say I know exactly how you feel!!! I too have been told i have a low placenta...we had decided to stop all sexual activities...my doc has said that I am on pelvic rest and that includes having an orgasm as that is your uterus contracting and can cause bleeding. Im not saying its been easy but I just dont want to risk it...we can hold off a few more months. Ofcourse my hubby can still "do his thing alone" it surely aint the same but he gets more than I do lol

Since it'll be your honeymoon, I'd beg for a scan, they might take pity. Was the original advice to abstain from deep penetration entirely, or to reduce the frequency? Maybe if you've been very good, it would be okay?

That's a toughie!

thank you im gonna speak to mw on tuesday and see what she recommends. xxx

yeah basically we were told to take it easy, but prior to scan we were already taken it easy ahaha!! im gonna beg for one cos i really dont want to not have sex on my wedding night!xx

Can you get a private one? Wedding night is important

I have a low lying placenta too partly covering the os, I wasnt told not to have sex or reduce frequency and me and hubby are very active and nothing bad happened to me so far xxxxxx
