Today, my husband and I had our first prenatal appointment. My doctor told us we shouldn't have sex during the first trimester, "just to be safe". He has no evidence to back this, but now my husband is too scared to touch me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband and I had sex for the first time because we pledged we wouldn't have sex until we were married. He's terrible. FML
Today, the doctor finally gave us the OK to have sex at 37 weeks pregnant. We were going to make love that night, but she was tired so we planned for the next day. She goes for an appointment and has emergency induction. We haven't had sex since April. No sex until next year. FML
Today, my fiancé decided that we shouldn't have sex before we get married. Even though we've been doing it for years. We can't get married right now due to Covid. FML
Today, my wife's pregnancy hormones made her extremely horny. The doctor said that intercourse during pregnancy was very healthy, so we decided to do it. Let's just say that the bumpy ride didn't help her morning sickness. FML
Today, as every day for the past few weeks, my husband won't have sex. His reason? We've decided to have a baby, and he reckons that the longer he waits, the more competition there will be between his sperm and thus the better the result will be. FML
Today, my husband said sex is too weird because I'm pregnant with our first baby. He gets very grumpy without sex. I'm very horny with hormones. Only 6 more months. FML
Today, my period was a few days late, so my anxiety kicked in and I told my husband I was worried about being pregnant. He pointedly said that pregnancy requires sex, and I suddenly remembered we haven't had sex in months. I haven't cheated, but good luck convincing his suspicious ass of that. FML
Today, my husband is sulking because he "can't" have sex with me. I've tried initiating things multiple times, but he keeps saying no, because I'm pregnant and he says it'd be exactly the same as having sex with his own kid. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that the thought of having sex with a pregnant woman repulsed him. I'm pregnant. He's glad he got that off his chest FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were about to get intimate for the first time. He said he didn't want to use a condom, and that I should just give him one of my birth control pills instead, "so we can still be just as safe". What the hell? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Uuuh, what evidence would you require, OP? It just seems to be common sense that sperm in your husband's urethra will get jealous and try to pull the newly formed zygote out. Honestly, people these days…

Unless you have some issue that puts you at risk, that's total crap and I would be finding a new OB asap! If your dr doesnt base anything on facts then you are in for one rough pregnancy...what's next, not lifting your arms above your head or being on your feet at all? On the plus side, your husband seems really sweet and wants to take care of you and baby, however misguided he may be!

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.

Only 70% of women have morning sickness at all, so you're a bit presumptuous to say, "when it kicks in..." No biggie, but a basic FYI. My mom never had it for any of her three kids.

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.

Any doctor worth a shit will tell a patient WHY they shouldn't do something. Especially if they actually expect the patient to listen- little makes people more contrary than being told not to do something, without being given a reason why.

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 have had two miscarriages and my doctor never said anything about not having sex while I was pregnant with my son. she told me no heavy lifting and to not be on my feet more than so many hours in a day. but she said sex is healthy and that it was fine during pregnancy.
Lexyy17 18
It took me over 5 years to get pregnant, and not one of the 3 Drs I saw for my pregnancy ever told me not to have sex because it took so long to conceive.

I've had multiple miscarriages and 2 high-risk full pregnancies and was told to go ahead. Even once when I was dropping hints for him to tell my husband we couldnt...lol. Also, I (besides a few weeks near the end, when I tried getting out of sex as mentioned above) and many women are crazy horny from those pregnancy hormones!

I think you need a new doctor
