a confessional... I'm scared...

I feel the same way. I am on progesterone suppositories so I use that as my excuse. I am more afraid to have an O. So at least once a week I find away to take care of his needs. I do not mind because it is keeping me sane. I end the progesterone at the end of the week, so I do not know what my excuse will be then. I guess I will just have to fess up.

I'm the other way around. I could have sex every day...but hubby is scared to touch me... we have only had sex once since we found out...

Like others have said...you have the right to feel the way you do....I too agree that openly discussing this will help with you and your hubby though.....we had to have the "talk" too.....I was just the opposite....he watched too many movies and got scared....it did for sure help that we were apart a majority of my pregnancy....

Big Hugs.....the good news is the 8th is next week :) WOOOO HOOOOO!

You are not alone.  I was the same way.  I don't think my dh and I dtd but maybe 4 or 5 times my entire pregnancy...LOL  I was worried sick everytime we did.  So I told him and he was ok with it. 

Wait wait wait... hold the phones!!! I have been gone haven't been looking at things.... Are you pregnant again????

 

CONGRATS!!!!!!

lol yes, 6 1/2 weeks!  thanks :) how are you and your little girl doing???

We waited an entire month to have sex.  Then after that we waited another month.  I am just starting to calm down about it now.  It's normal I think esp after I had some spotting in the beginning.

I agree with the PP. Your fear is not irrational. Shortly after finding out I was preggo at about 6+ weeks we did the deed and I went to the restroom, wiped, and had blood....there I was making an emergency call to the OB and rushing in for a Saturday visit...extra cost and all...did not matter...to be told it was *old* brown blood, normal, yada yada yada....but you know what....did not ease my fear for the remaining 9 mths at all....I was so scared every time and cringed the after.....took the joy out of it all which was sad...you think you could enjoy it...I mean hey...already knocked up so at least that can't happen right...I think if you explain some of this to hubby it will help. Also just take it slow, easy, and as your comfort level allows....best of luck!

Actually, my OB put me on full pelvic rest during the first trimester of my pregnancy. He said that sperm can cause infection especially during the first trimester and he thought this could have been the reason for my first miscarriage. I was terrified so we did not have sex at all until I was 20 something weeks and when we did it was with a condom just to be safe against infection.

Congrats and good luck!

THanks Ladies!! I feel much better about this all now - here I thought that I was just loosing it. I am going to talk to hubby about it this weekend (he works 2nd shift so I Don't see him - at least when I am coherent during the week)

It is so great to know that I am not alone. You ladies are always so great, supporitive and understanding.

Thanks again!
