Afraid to have sex

[kieana lee]

I m/c with my first and only other pregnancy. I found out I was pregnant (it ended up being twins) at 5w. at 6w we had sex for the first time since we had gotten the news. The next day I started bleeding and it didn't stop until I finally lost the babies at 8w.

I just found out I'm pregnant again, and I couldn't be happier, but I terrified of the idea of have sex. Am I crazy?

you aren't crazy... i feel the same way... I haven't had sex since I found out and I don't want to have sex until I find out that everything is ok at my scan....

sex will NOT harm the baby or cause a mc... it was just a crazy coincidence, but I say that you aren't crazy because i relate to you and it is scary!!!

Wow...thank God I'm not the only one! I feel the exact same way. DH and I haven't had sex since I found out I was pregnant. The thing is I want to, but am terrified even if its not harmful to the baby. I'm hoping we will be able to resume sexual activity once we find out everything is okay.

I'm 6w5d I think, I have had sex once since finding out. With my first pregnancy, after sex I would spot. I think it was probably just my cervix being sensitive, but I live in fear of going to the bathroom and seeing pink/red on the toilet paper. Even without the sex, I have still had two/three incidents of spotting. Which is really getting me down to be honest. I feel like something is going wrong already.
