Question

Answer 1

Unless there is a pre-existing condition that can cause pre-term labor, you can enjoy sex up until the end or until one or both of you feels uncomfortable.

Most women actually find their libido rises with their pregnancies because of the surge of hormones in their bodies. In all actuality, the least likely she will want to have sex will be in the first trimester. This is usually because she is nauseous, or tired. Once the second trimester kicks in - usually the 12th - 15th week, she will feel an upswing. The third trimester might make things uncomfortable because of the expanding midriff, but there are other positions one can try to compensate. Another good thing is that the body produces a hormone called relaxin. This helps the woman's body get ready for the actual birth, allowing the joints of the pelvis flex more. This will help with a lot of the new positions, but remember to go slowly, and always, always, always let her determine how far to go.

As to how it feels... well as a woman, the heightened hormonal level allows for you to achieve orgasm more easily. A lot of women claim that their first true orgasm came (no pun intended) when they were pregnant. A lot of that also has to do with the increased blood going to the different organs, including the genitalia, and breasts.

I hope this helps... Congratulations and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!!

Answer 2

As long as the women has not had a risky pregnancy (pre-term labor, etc), it's generally safe up to the delivery. In the second trimester, some women actually feel sexier and want sex more often. As the pregnancy continues, it requires some adjustments on position to avoid putting weight on her stomach, but that's about it. Some doctors even recommend sex as a way to stimulate labor if the baby is being stubborn about making their grand entrance.

Well personally i didn't stop having sex till i was about 8 1/2 mths pregnant.So i think its OK so do it,but it all depends how she feels about that she might have pain but but their is a lot of was to do it so both are comfortable .I think by the time is does to 6-7 mths pregnant the hormones are very high and the urge to have sex hits.My doctor said to me its OK to have sex during pregnancy

Answer 4

yes it is perfectly fine unless the obgyn says otherwise , My wife and I had sex practically up till the birth of our daughter, they say it could be some of the best sex a woman will ever have in her life while pregnant (source: what to expect while expecting book, if you dont have that book go get it , it can answer a lot of questions for both men and women on a variety of things related to pregnacy etc.)

Answer 5

You can have sex up to the due date if the doctor says it okays. It feels great......I hear that some men like the sex better when the woman is pregnant.

Answer 6

Yes it is OK, if the doctor says so. But, remember, she may not feel like it. Lots of things change when a woman is pregnant, so be sensitive to her concerns. If she says it is not safe, maybe you need to have a discussion to find out just why she is saying that. And, congratulations !!

Answer 7

of course it is! Unless your doc says no then have at it! The positioning may have to be altered a bit if she is uncomfortable but when the time is near sex is the quickest way to go into labor! Well besides castor oil but that just tastes bad!

Answer 8

As long as the OB/GYN says it's safe to have sex. Usually you can have sex up until the baby is born. But as the mother gets a bigger belly you will have to try new positions that make her comfortable.

Answer 9

Yes, unless told otherwise by your doctor it is ok. Other than a big belly and can't do much I had sex right up to the day I had my daughter.

Answer 10

Sex is completely okay unless the doctor tells you not to or it is to uncomfortable for the woman. I am in my 37th week of pregnancy and I still have sex regularly with my husband. I have to say though it is getting tougher and tougher for me to because of the big basketball hanging out there in front of me.
