Having sex in the same room as your baby? Is It Wrong?
Have we all not had sex in the same room as our kids at some point? I know I have and I am far from embarrassed to say we participated in a few exercise classes while our sleeping baby laid not that far away from us? Is having sex in the same room as your baby wrong in anyway?
By hell do babies change your sex life and not for the better, but after having a baby you have to jump back on the horse again and start riding. (You see how I snuck that bit of humour in?)
I would much rather my new baby was close to me, than leave it downstairs in the living room while mummy and daddy ran upstairs for some fun, at least I could hear and see our baby and knew she was safe.
Yes having a baby in sight can put you off, the whole look at the ceiling and think of England comes to mind when you try for the first few times after giving birth. The sheer thought of even a jelly bean going up there after a watermelon has just come out is rather scary.
Why would anyone think having sex in the same room as a sleeping baby is wrong? The baby is sleeping for a start and totally unaware of what is going on.
With older kids in the house our bedroom is our place, the only room the kids know that they have to knock on the door to come in. Why would we or should we have to adjust our lives just because we had a baby? Is it not how our baby was made?
While I would never feel comfortable doing anything of that nature around a not so little baby, I do remember we did once and our 9 month old woke and stood up in her cot, while we were fumbling under the bed clothes she was wondering what the hell we were doing. When we looked up, she was stood rather interestingly watching us.
“Daddy lost his sock and mummy was helping me find it” was the husbands reply. Needless to say we took to the kitchen table when all the kids were in bed from that day on.

I think we did it once but she kept stirring so we gave up in the end haha. Monitor on and it was livingroom for us till she had gone into her own room x
We had sex in the same room when she was asleep! Until one day we rolled over after doing the deed and she was wide awake staring at us! Luckily she slept through from 14 weeks so at 16 weeks was moved to her own room. I don’t see what the problem is as the baby doesn’t have a clue what is going on!
I don’t think its wrong if the baby is asleep they are none the wise
We have no choice in the matter at the moment. Me, OH, Bella (3) & Sophia (20m) are all in the one room. Fun stuff…. NOT
We always make sure they are asleep before we even think of doing anything.
I think as long as they aren’t old enough to know whats going on & they are asleep then there isn’t anything wrong with it. x
I don’t see it as wrong at all and have done it myself ! Most of us have sex when pregnant and the baby is inside of us !! X
I don’t think its wrong but i was never able to do it! Just couldn’t!
It’s not wrong and anyone who says it is clearly has never had to be in that situation. I will not deny, sex is of huge importance to mine and Rob’s relationship and as the blog says, I would much rather know our baby is safe than keep her out the room just so we can have some adult time x
I don’t think it is wrong, they are none the wiser and you at least know that they are safe. x
I don’t think its wrong as long as the baby a sleep
I didn’t do it for the first time till 6 weeks after giving birth and by that time me, oh and lo was living in a hostel in one room and was there till he was 6 months old so when ever we did do it we had to do it in bed when lo was asleep. After moving lo was in our room till 9 months but we would do it anywhere other than the bedroom. Now he’s 3 1/2 years old and we are all sharing a room again in my mums and we do it when he’s sleeping although i do put his quilt over the side of his bed so if he wakes up he doesn’t see anything. I didn’t personally like it at first because of his age but it’s either that or go with out for 5-6 months lol
i dont think its wrong at least you not here safe.. iv had a moment when reannes woken up stood up the cot laughing ..not off putting much
lol x
I don’t think it’s wrong baby is asleep and non the wiser so why not
x
i dont think it wrong , if baby/toddler is asleep n non the wiser then wats the problem, yes we used to do it downstairs but a quickie on the sofa is not the same as making love in ur own bed so yes we do have sex in r bed while r lo is asleep in his bed 4ft away n happly sleeping xx
i would have to say that as a baby i cant see the harm but when they reach a certain age i think that it shouldnt happen. Kids become very aware of there surroundings and will ask questions and they can hear them, IA know people my age who parents had sex when they were children in the same room and still remember the noises made and how it has affected them.
I feel a bit awkward when your enjoying your self then hear a snore halfway through, I’m in a flat so take it to the front room even now when my son is in his own room it’s front room a the bedrooms are next to each other and the walls are paper thin haha
I don’t think it’s wrong if baby is fast asleep, I’ve done it many times xx
Iv done it if there asleep I don’t see the problem
xx
if they r asleep then i dont see the problem, i have done it as my lb sleeps in r room xx
A new born not at all. What you ment to do not have sex till the baby is in their own room
