Sex while sick?

Hi ladies, I’m having a bit of a dilemma over the prospect of having sex with my husband while sick (common cold, not morning sickness). For some context, before we got pregnant sex was happening at least 3-4 times a week, sometimes we would go twice in one day. We were *very* active. After getting pregnant and having some complications/scares, it feels as though we are doing it once a week, if that. And I just caught myself thinking that we haven’t done it since Monday and I know he is probably really craving it (though he’s considerate enough not to have said anything), and I also could use that intimacy, because I frankly do miss the dynamic we used to have. But because of this cold I’m worried that I may be putting my baby at risk. Everything I am reading online says to put off sex and rest until I am better, but my mind is still fighting that. I want to and I’m worried about wanting to at the same time… does that make sense? I don’t know what the point of this post is, other than to ask if anyone has ever been in a similar situation and how you dealt with it.

If you feel well enough to and want to, outside a doctor saying no you need to rest, go for it

I had sex through my whole pregnancy just the bigger I got we had to think of different positions

We always say aslong as there’s no kissing involved it’s fine. Me and my partner still do it unless he’s really really sick we just avoid kissing during in the mean time if we don’t want to wait

ya if you feel strong enough too than do it. If you still out of it kinda but you both want to have him be on top and do all the work tbh. Just do what u guys are comfortable with

I didn't know. I just found out today.. some girl had disabled baby born month early and they couldn't figure out why. In UK. She wad probably 19 or something but doc asked her if she remembered being sick really sick in early pregnancy..I think that what they said. Any way she remembered her husband super sick and she caught it.. whatever it was...I didn't know that was a thing..Doctor don't mention it! So sad..
