Hellooooo!

Hello All,

This is my first post/first night on the site. I'm 25, expecting my first. It was an "oops" but we are THRILLED and cannot wait for baby to be here. I am 19 weeks. We live in California and my name is Jenilee

So I'm actually here for advice. Throughout my pregnancy my hubby & I have maintained a steady sex life. And I have thoroughly enjoyed pregnancy sex!! However, last week at work I started bleeding. My husband met me at the ER and apparently I have a condition called partial placenta privea, which I knew very little about and now know a lot about. I'm not on bed rest but he is monitoring things very closely and says I will most likely need a C-section. Which I am horribly disappointed about What is also more immediately disappointing is that I've been ordered off sex... and off orgasms(!) from here on in. My hubby is super supportive but also very frustrated as he was also enjoying the sex we were having. I haven't been in the mood to please him "other ways" and this has led to some discourse. I've secretly been struggling really bad too with the lack of orgasms. I typically get there fairly easily during sex, so my body has been used to the consistency of that the past few months. And to have it taken away has been an adjustment. I guess I'm open to suggestions/tips/advice on this. I cant talk to my husband about it. I'm not comfortable with possibly starting an argument or anything.

Thanks ladies

Jen

Hi and welcome to B&B:wink wink:

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I wish you a happy and healthy journey to a healthy bundle of joy.

I'm sorry to read about the little bump on the road. My tips would be to follow the orders given by the doctor. I understand that it can't be as easy, but trust me, time will pass quick. You can start occupying yourself(vex) with other things that you enjoy and time will fly. It is easier said than done - I know first hand because I had a challenging pregnancy myself where I was on bed rest, restricted from everything else I enjoyed doing since week 17. But before I knew it, it was all over. One advice I wish I took and followed strictly from all other moms was : take this time to SLEEP as much as you can because when baby comes, you will miss it so much. LOL that is one thing I will always remember.

Hi and welcome to BnB!

Also I'm sorry to hear what has happened When I was pregnant with #1 I didn't want sex at all as I was scared I would bleed or hurt the baby The one time we tried to have sex again was the day my daughter was born as when we were having sex I felt him hit something and then I started bleeding as I was taken in to the hospital and that night she was born.

All I can say is good luck and I hope you get to do the "dance" again soon xx
