I think we waited 7 weeks, and we asked at the first scan. But it's up to you and how you feel.Good luck 💓

If it's going to cause you any worry then better to wait! My sex drive was soooo high in pregnancy there was no chance for waiting any longer 😂

It’s up to you. We waited until after the 12 week scan as I had a subchrionic hematoma, so didn’t want to cause any possible bleed

I waited for my first scan which was 6 weeks before sex. However, I had to stop sex after 12 weeks because i started to bleed and they recommend i waited till 20 weeks. I am 18 weeks now. But, I am scared because since this week i found out the reason I was bleeding is because one of my babies placenta is laying low near my uterus. I was given instructions as to what to do and no rigorous sex was on it. Also, my husband is a bit nervous because the baby that lay low is our son, i am pregnant with a boy and girl and he jokingly say he cant affort to lose his son. So i guess our sex life is dead right now.

I honestly had no desire until I was in my second trimester, I was also scared I’d hurt the baby even tho the baby was the size of a grain of salt, even then I had next to no sex drive really in my second trimester, cruelly I had a raging sex drive once my bump popped and I was so big it was a near on physical impossibility to get down and dirty, just saying when you get to that stage foreplay is your best friend😅

It’s so bad isn’t it🙈 One thing no one tells you is that pregnancy can also make you drier than the desert down there, that was the biggest mood killer and don’t get me wrong I miss those kicks everyday but there was nothing worse than getting hot and heavy and then feeling little one start having a rave, mood gone 😂😂

Speak with your doc during your next scan. If you don‘t have any complications then they will give you a 👍 to go ahead depending on your sex drive. I was told no penetration sex at my 12 week scan as they confirmed a placenta praevia totals (placenta is directly over my cervix)

If I remember correctly we were back at it during tww. We haven't waited at all and I'm 25 wks tomorrow. Couples who don't have ivf carry on at it not knowing they are pregnant, and if it relaxes ,you and sends out good hormones it can only be a good thing!

So true, if you got pregnant naturally no need to wait just carry on as usual☺️
