don't do it! if your baby turns out to be a girl it will get pregnant too. and if you keep doing it the babys baby will get pregnant and that babys baby will get pregnant and on and on. no sex till you find out if it's a boy first. it's just common sense.

Find a new doctor because that one is a quack! I'm in the 3rd trimester of my 3rd pregnancy and in the last 8 years I've never been told anything other than "There is no need to abstain from intercourse during any portion of pregnancy." Barring special circumstances, like a high risk pregnancy or complications.

There is a whole list of reason for SOME women not to have sex or orgasam's, particularly during the first trimester, but it's crazy if the Dr doesn't give you a reason. What could be bad is if you don't have sex now, having sex later on could cause you to go into premature labor due to the natural prostaglandins in sperm. If women haven't had regular sex through out the pregnancy, they can be more sensitive to the prostaglandins. You would not believe the amount of women who would come into labour ward having contractions and say something like 'it was the first time I felt like having sex the whole pregnancy'. Some Dr's (male and female) just assume that women aren't interested in sex, and will say stuff to give them an 'out'. Pregnancy will make some women very tired, some women feel super sexy. I've had women who were eager to have sex again right after giving birth, and wanted to know if they can have sex straight away. OP, I would ask the Dr for a firm reason as to why you shouldn't have sex.

Y'all need to be finding a new doctor.

The only person I know who was told not to, only in a certain time in the beginning, was because she'd had a miscarriage before I believe. While your husband shouldn't take it to that extent, though I understand it'd be worrying, is there any reason for you being advised that you might have left out? Either way, I don't see checking with another doctor to be a bad thing.

First off get a new dr. Preferably one that's not a moron, and second, once the morning sickness kicks in you probably won't want to have sex anyways.

Go for a different doctor, this one sounds like he don't know anything.

I would listen to your doctor. There may be something wrong. Sex isn't worth it.

A doctor will recommend that if you have ever had a miscarriage, taken a really long time to get pregnant, have one or more risk factors, are older, etc. It's not the end of the world and depending on your medical history, much safer for the baby.

I think you need a new doctor
