I am 7 months pregnant and I have an active sex life. Is it safe? Should we be slowing down? The baby is usually very active after we have sex, does that mean she is uncomfortable or upset???

I beleive it is safe until your doctor advises otherwise. I had two normal pregnancies and had sex up until the day i delivered. Granted, at the end, we had to get creative and it wasnt always comfortable, but my doctor never said we shouldn't. The baby is protected by the cervix that is still closed up until labor and also the placenta. Sex should not be bothering the baby. The baby may seem active after sex because female orgasm can make the vaginal muscles spasm and cause the cervix to 'dip' and its possible the baby feels this. But its not dangerous to your unborn child. Have fun and listen to you doctor.

Having sex during pregnancy is perfectly safe. The movement from the baby is simply a result of ur movement but is not harming or upsetting the baby. I have 2 kids aged 11 and 5 and i had a very active sex life right up till they were born and both my kids were born perfectly happy and healthy. Enjoy huni as after the baby is born it may not be such an active sex life lol. Good luck x.

It's perfectly fine to have sex when you are pregnant assuming that there are no complications. Trust me though...this "active sex life" will unfortunately end any time...LOL You're going to get so miserable in a month or so that you'll want to kill your husband for getting you into this shape...

There is nothing wrong with having sex while preg. the only time you should not is if it is uncomfortable and it can actually send you into labor when you are close to being due. the *** is a naturally lubricant that can help induce labor and i have for kids. i never stopped just found a position that was comfortable! so good luck oh and only do it if you want to!

All normal! Take full advantage of it! It won't hurt the baby at all! Doctors actually encourage it! When you get closer to the end, the doctor will tell you to have sex to help make the baby come sooner! Don't worry! Good luck! And congradulations on your baby!

You can have sex up until the very end as long as you have a normal healthy pregnancy, some doctors even suggests having sex to trigger labor.

I think unless your doctor says not to or if you start bleeding or having pains i dont think theres no need to stop. I am also in my 7th month and i have an active sex life and so far everythings been going good.

Your baby is fine. As long as you have a normal healthy pregnancy, it's safe to have sex until the end. It is actually good, because it keeps the muscles toned for delivery.

You can have sex, if you're comfortable doing so or your doctor advises against it, up until you deliver. Your baby is active afterwards because he/she probably felt the motion. You are doing no harm!

The baby loves the vibrations of your uterus when you orgasm. Plus the sex helps your pelvic bones expand n contract making for an easier delivery. So I've heard.
