is it ok to have sex while u r pregnant?

Answer 1

Yes, just use the BACK DOOR...

Answer 2

Nothing raises as many eyebrows as the subject of sex during pregnancy. Despite the old saying that medical and religious miracles aside, every pregnancy started with a sex act.

One thing that I would note is that sex and sexuality are very different, and that even if you are not having sexual intercourse, your sexuality can still be expressed.

Your sexual practices during pregnancy will depend on several factors:

* Your previous beliefs about sex
* Your Partner's previous beliefs
* Physical aspects of your pregnancy
* Emotional aspects of your pregnancy

There are many reasons why sex during pregnancy can be more enjoyable, even if your are doing it less. There is an increase in vaginal lubrication, engorgment of the genital area helps some people become orgasmic for the first time or multi-orgasmic, the lack of birth control, or if you have been trying for awhile, a return to sex as pleasure as opposed to procreational, and other reasons.

On the other hand there are reasons why sex might not be as pleasurable: fear of hurting the baby, nausea, fatigue, awkwardness, etc.

Although these can be valid reasons, doing research and talking to your partner and practitioner can often help you clarify what is really inappropriate during pregnancy, particularly for you.

Change is rampant during pregnancy both in your body and your beliefs. While women may feel large and uncomfortable, men generally find the pregnant body very erotic and desirable. Talk about your differences and attitudes towards your body and sexuality.

Make sure that you discuss the feelings that you have about sex and sexuality. These discussions can lead to a more fulfilling sex life. If either of you do not feel like having sex, this can be particularly important. Explain to your partner what is going on and what they can do to help you be sexual. For example: more cuddling, relaxing baths, romantic dinners, massages, mutual masturbation, whatever you and your partner agree upon is exactly what you need.

The hormonal fluctuations of pregnancy also play a part in your reactions to making love, as do the trimesters. Many women are too fatigued and nauseated to be very interested during the first trimester, while the second trimester brings a new sense of delight as her abdomen grows, and again later in the third trimester the desire may wane as well.

"Hmmm...sex during pregnancy...during the first trimester, honestly, I think the sex was more..intimate...the sensations seemed heightened, despite the initial ‘Ohmigosh, are we going to hurt the baby?' Now in the second trimester, it's becoming a little more awkward, especially now that I'm showing. We've had to ...ummm...well...adjust a little bit, position-wise...but the intimacy hasn't changed," says Dee.

Okay, so we know that there are wide variances in who is doing it and when, the big question (No pun intended.) is how?

Creativity should be your keyword during pregnancy. Or more bluntly put, whatever works! There are many positions that are more comfortable as you expand. These include:

* Woman on top
* Spooning (Man behind woman, rear entry)
* Hands and Knees
* Side lying, knee pulled up

What are men saying about sex during pregnancy? Most are pleasantly surprised.

Rich says "I haven't noticed a real change in the sex...it was always awesome! The only real difference now is in the position! We've had to accommodate for a growing belly, and as a result we've had to explore a little..but it's been fun exploring."

When not to have sex and/or orgasms during pregnancy:

* Your practitioner has advised against it
* You have a history of premature birth or labor
* Placenta previa (Where part of the placenta is covering the cervix)
* Your water has broken
* Your are currently experiencing bleeding
* You or your partner has an active sexually transmitted disease

Answer 3

Yes you can. Good advice is that if it hurts, stop and call ur doc. Even a little spot of blood CAN be ok. It happened to me once...Also later in pregnancy naturally it becomes harder position and comfotwise...ur best sex time? Usually months 4-5-6...Always go by the advise of your doc because it may be based on your special circumstances and pregnancy. I myself was told no...at the end because I had twins on board with my second pregnancy. Good luck, I found I had extremely powerful orgasms while pregnant secondary to all the increased blood flow down there :-) Also an ingredient LOL in the semen helps to ripen the cervix for dilation...

Also most men should not answer this question you mean insensitive jerks!

Answer 4

Yes, as long as it is still comfortable for you. In fact, due to the hormones, many women report that this is some of the best sex they've ever had.

That being said, 2 watchouts. First, if you're having a high risk pregnancy and/or have run into any health issues (e.g. high blood pressure), consult your doctor. Second, as you get towards the end (i.e. 9th month), sometimes the sex can induce labor...this may either be a good thing or bad thing pending how quickly you want to get the baby out.

Have fun!

Answer 5

Yes it is OK. Most Dr. suggest it. It helps strengthen the mussels. The baby is not harmed or even touched your cervix is there and the baby is in a sack so it is all good. Fulfill the erg's when you are pregnant you can have the best sex of your life.

Answer 6

Absolutely, although toward the end of the pregnancy it might not be particularly enjoyable because of the belly. This might be in the category of "too much information", but you may want to avoid your partner performing oral sex on you. There is a remote possibility of harming your unborn child (I won't go into details why here-ask your ob/gyn).

Enjoy now while you can! After you have the baby, you'll probably be too exhausted to even think about sex! :)

Answer 7

Yes it is ok to have sex when you are pregnant, remember the baby is protected by fluid and a sack that holds the fluid in, don't worry you won't give the baby brain damage or anything!

Answer 8

There is nothing wrong about having sex when you are pregnant. It will not harm the baby or cause any complications to the pregnancy. Towards the end, it can even help with labor!!

Answer 9

Go get a book called " what to expect when you are expecting" by Heidi Murkoff. It's the pregnancy bible and will help with all these questions. Your question as well as many others that you would not expect is in there. It's excellent in describing all of these little things that worry moms and help distinguish when something is "normal" or not.
Good Luck!
