Yes I should use a pseudonym :) I think I'll call after the u/s if all isn't cleared up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533885 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:57:53 +0000 Mrs. Blue 533885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I know the big O can cause uterine contractions, so I think that is part of why some people are told to avoid that. Even though it's super personal, I would probably just call and ask....and give a fake name when I did. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533766 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:17:47 +0000 sslm 533766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I guess they will tell us on Friday but I wondered if I should speak to my midwife to be safe!</p> <p>Thanks everyone. I feel weird calling to ask such a private question! I hadn't even thought about orgasms being bad... Hmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533422 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:31:36 +0000 LemonLong 533422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was put on pelvic rest for mine which meant no sex and no orgasms. Call your doctor and ask, or maybe see if you can schedule another ultrasound before your 31 week appt to check on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533406 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:25:55 +0000 mjane 533406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this issue a little earlier in my second tri and was told just to abstain from intercourse. (Also lifting heavy stuff and any exercise/yoga.) Annoying, but it did correct itself in six weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533403 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:25:15 +0000 MamaMoose 533403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a low lying placenta too. But the ultrasound techs always knew right away if it was still an issue and would tell me. I bet you'll know right away if it's still an issue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533393 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:20:29 +0000 Weagle 533393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told that I didn't even need to abstain. We were nervous about it and did anyway. I didn't have to wait as long for my second check, though. I don't think orgasms would affect your placenta enough to matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533351 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:40:20 +0000 JoJoGirl 533351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Ooh yeah. Good call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533349 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:39:26 +0000 blackbird 533349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call and check. When I was told to abstain after my CVS, I was specifically told no intercourse, including no orgasms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533346 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:38:09 +0000 JoJoGirl 533346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure it's just penetration :) can't see why other activities would put your placenta at risk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533343 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:33:34 +0000 jedeve 533343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's penetration, unless she told you to abstain from other activities too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-laying-placenta#post-533281 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 07:40:37 +0000 sslm 533281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my 19 week ultrasound I had a low laying placenta. My midwife said it would probably move up and not be a problem, we go back to check on Friday at almost 31 weeks! Fingers crossed! Anyway, after some spotting last week I was told to abstain from sex until we find out if the placenta is still an issue. </p> <p>Here's a tmi question. I should have asked my midwife, but does abstaining mean just intercourse? Is it the penetration that's the issue? Are other fun times ok?</p> <p>We are going on a little baby moon this weekend and likely won't know the outcome of the us until next week. Just want to know if we can have a little fun!!!!! </p>
