Or drive over bumpy roads. Or... you know?

I understand that completely but I didn't get the not having an orgasm part but I guess if they don't know all that could cause it then they are just being precautionary.

I'm in the same boat, but my midwife didn't mention no orgasms, just no sex. I have another ultrasound this week to check on the position. I really want to get this resolved.

In the January DDC but saw your post. I just think it's strange how everyone that has a low-lying placenta is told different things. I just suggest you do some research of your own, even just to lessen your worries. Technically you can't even be diagnosed PP until around 30+ weeks because placentas move . . . so unless you are already having spotting/bleeding it's interesting that they feel okay with giving you a scary diagnosis. By the way 90% of placentas move so odds are in your favor!
