Answer 1

If you're having a normal pregnancy, sex is considered safe during all stages of the pregnancy.

So what's a "normal pregnancy"? It's one that's considered low-risk for complications such as miscarriage or pre-term labor. Talk to your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider if you're uncertain about whether you fall into this category. (The next section of this article may help, too.)

Of course, just because sex is safe during pregnancy doesn't mean you'll necessarily want to have it! Many expectant mothers find that their desire for sex fluctuates during certain stages in the pregnancy. Also, many women find that sex becomes uncomfortable as their bodies get larger.

You and your partner need to keep the lines of communication open regarding your sexual relationship. Talk about other ways to satisfy your need for intimacy, such as kissing, caressing, and holding each other. You also may need to experiment with other positions for sex to find those that are the most comfortable.

Many women find that they lose their desire and motivation for sex late in the pregnancy - not only because of their size but also because they're preoccupied with the impending delivery and the excitement of becoming a new parent.

There are two types of sexual behavior that aren't safe for any pregnant woman:

If you engage in oral sex, your partner should not blow air into your vagina. Blowing air can cause an air embolism (a blockage of a blood vessel by an air bubble), which can be potentially fatal for mother and child.
You should not have sex with a partner whose sexual history is unknown to you or who may have a sexually transmitted disease, such as herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, or HIV. If you become infected, the disease may be transmitted to your baby, with potentially dangerous consequences.
If your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider anticipates or detects certain significant complications with your pregnancy, he or she is likely to advise against sexual intercourse. The most common risk factors include:

a history or threat of miscarriage
a history of pre-term labor (you've previously delivered a baby before 37 weeks) or signs indicating the risk of pre-term labor (such as premature uterine contractions)
unexplained vaginal bleeding, discharge, or cramping
leakage of amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds the baby)
placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta (the blood-rich structure that nourishes the baby) is situated down so low that it covers the cervix (the opening of the uterus)
incompetent cervix, a condition in which the cervix is weakened and dilates (opens) prematurely, raising the risk for miscarriage or premature delivery
multiple fetuses (you're having twins, triplets, etc.)

Answer 2

She can have sex all through pregnancy if she wants to..........

If there is any type of health situation the doctor would advise if that came up but other than that you are good to go for the whole nine months.

Things to bear in mind:
1. Some women are super sensative on gaining pregnacy weight - you want sex be very careful what comes out of your mouth
2. In the first trimester nauseum is coming if this is true be sensative to that fact
3. The second trimester is usually the easiest -
4. The third if she is willing to have sex you might need to experiment because of the growth of the baby.

Good luck - best of health and rememeber this can be a highly emotional time - I sat down and cried one time because the macaroni was not cooked all the way

Answer 3

LOL If sex was bad during pregnancy I would have miscarried a long time ago. :) On the contrary she may not want to have much sex in her first trimester due to fatigue and nausea but the second trimester is some of the best sex you'll ever have... and often! The third trimester is tricky because she's so big so enjoy your second trimester while it lasts and make sure you do what you can in the third. This makes her feel sexy and that you still love looking at her and it's nice to feel good about yourself when you think you aren't too pretty. She needs that reassurance. Don't stop unless she says stop or the dr. says stop. :) Only one thing- if you have oral sex make sure not to blow air in there because an air bubble can go up to baby and can be fatal. Be very very careful. And no inanimate objects. LOL

Answer 4

Sperm can live up to a week, with about 3-5 days being most likely. Therefore, sex up to 5 days before ovulation can lead to pregnancy, with each day leading to ovulation increasing your chances more and more. So 5 days before ovulation makes it likely to get pregnant, while the day before makes it VERY likely to get pregnant. Having said that, you still only have a 20-25% chance of getting pregnant each month, even when you do everything right on time. Take it from me, I've been trying to get pregnant for 11 cycles, and chart ovulation every month. It happens for others much easier, though. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Sex during pregnancy isn't any more risky and sex alone will not cause a miscarriage. If there is an unknown problem with the fetus, sex or no sex, it will end in a miscarriage. No risks if the pregnancy is healthy so GO FOR IT and have fun...congrats too.

Answer 6

IF IT'S A NORMAL PREGNANCY, THE FIRST 3 MONTHS KEEP IT EASY, BUT IF SHE WANTS- DON'T STOP SEX, JUST BE GENTLE. AFTER THAT- NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!! WHEN I WAS PREGNANT MY LIBIDO WAS HIGHER THAN EVER AND WITH MY HUSBAND WERE HAVING SEX EVERY SINGLE DAY, SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES A DAY. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE DAY BEFORE I GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON, WE HAD SEX TILL 4AM AND AT 8 AM I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MY CESSARIAN SECTION.

Answer 7

ask your doc since none of us know your wife's history etc. but for normal pregnancy's its ok to have sex on up until the final month. i have even had friends who did until the final week. i also worked for a man whose wife was pregnant with twins and played tennis on the day she went into labor ! each person is different but if you get the ok by the doc everything will be fine...too check out some of the online medical info sites like webmd.com and do a websearch for pregnancy info...btw congrats !

Answer 8

Pregnant sex is like the best dude!!!
my wife would get so fricken kinky when she was knocked up!!!

Our doctor told us it was fine up until the day she went into labor.
the only prob was her tummy got in the way during the thrid trimster. but you know a young couple will find a way and we did.

dont stress on it just enjoy and BTW Congrats Daddy to be....

Answer 9

i'm 7 months along, and have been getting it on with my husband regularly since we found out....during first, second, and now third trimester. sex will not make her miscarry...unless you're getting extremely rough. it's best not to do it missionary...extended periods of time on her back can reduce circulation to her abdomen...but doggy, standing up, sitting up, and other positions are just fine...and fun. don't worry about it...if you worry too much, you'll have trouble performing...the baby will be fine, and so will she.

Answer 10

Actually it was nothing about having sex when your wife is pregnant .But I think you better don't.
