When I miscarried, it happened the day after we had sex for the first time following my BFP. We weren't getting it on very much because I felt so exhausted - my sex drive was nonexistent - so it was a pretty good day when we finally did the deed. And then I miscarried.
Now, I know that the two things had nothing to do with each other. I absolutely, positively, 100% know that sex didn't cause the miscarriage. Whatever went wrong had already happened before that night. But it still left me feeling frightened and wary this time around; even though I intellectually understood that sex would not cause a miscarriage, emotionally I was far less secure. It was irrational and I knew that, but I couldn't help it. And since I've read that some pregnant women spot after sex, I was even more nervous - even if the spotting was harmless, seeing that blood would have freaked me out.

People keep telling me to enjoy the first trimester sex now, before the morning sickness hits - but honestly, I'm having a hard time getting in the mood because I'm just so tired all the time. Am I alone in this? Is everyone else getting it on all the time in the first month or two? I miss having regular sex, but how do you get past the fatigue?
Ha! Forget it. Between fatigue and pukiness, it was not happening. All the spotting didn't help either. But if you two are able to keep it up, I'm impressed and proud of you!!
ReplyDeleteLOL... Props to you! As long as your dr says it's OK, keep it up! I didn't get much 1st Tri romance since DH was freaking out about it. But 2nd Tri was fabulous. Then I didn't get anything in the 3rd Tri until last Thursday when I seriously seduced him in a mad attempt to use him to start labor... It didn't work, but man was it fun!
