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

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!

There are a lot of fun things you can do without doing the deed, so maybe try one of those?

I'm almost in my third trimester now and I had sex with my husband in the first trimester not knowing I was. my baby is just fine and growing perfect!

WTF is wrong with your doctor? I would find a new one. No doctor that idiotic would be allowed near my baby, in utero or at birth! That's too risky for my liking.

I'd definitely be looking for a new OB. Unless there's a medical reason, sex is safe at any point during pregnancy as long as your water hasn't broken. If your dr isn't telling you facts, find a new one. Not worth you or baby getting hurt due to their... eccentricity.

Oh no, you can't have sex because your husband is just trying to do what's best for your baby. Your life must toootttaalllyyy suck! Even if the doctor had no real proof, that's still not something tipu have to make an fml about

get a new doctor. sounds like yours shouldn't even have an MD

If that was true, I definitely wouldn't be planning a 3 year old's birthday party, right now. Your doctor is an idiot. Find a real one.

Time for a new doctor. In the meantime, tell your husband that he should be a cunning linguist and learn the language of love.

Get a new doctor. If he's this ignorant about something THIS simple, you want him nowhere near you. Get someone competent.

God your husband should be happy you actually want to have sex during your pregnancy. A lot of women do not. Your man is really dumb and you really should consider a new doctor.
