I was one of those that was more eager to have sex during pregnancy. I cant remember the percentages, but they did a survey on women who were pregnant and whether they felt more or less like having sex than before they were pregnant.
They say that some women who are pregnant feel like they have a stronger bond with the father to be and thats what gets them in the mood for lovin, lol. And I guess that was me, because I couldnt stay away from my husband and we continued having sex until a couple days before I had my son.
As long as you are not a high risk pregnancy, then its fine. If you are a high risk, youre doctor will tell you straight up to restrain from sexual activity. At one point, close to my ninth month, I was having a couple problems (because i was still working and the baby was trying to come early) so the doctor put me on bedrest and told me to stop having sex. I did.
But after the bed rest was over and it was 'safe' for me to have the baby if he chose to come, he told me sex was okay again.
So, basically, it's up to you (if the doctor hasnt voiced his opinion).

Yes. If u don't have any problems of high risk pregnancy then what are u waiting for. AM mother of two and they both felt different. My first pregnancy was not that good at the beginning because of the nausea but sexually I was active the whole time. Maybe because hormones are so crazy the more u do it the more u want. We did it till the day before the baby was born, and there is not any problems with it.On the other hand with my second child I did not wanted any kind of relation during the whole time. Only towards the end and the baby was also OK. So good luck and enjoy it while u can cause once the baby is out u wont rest for a while.

Unless there are contraindications (and your doctor would tell you if there are) you can have sex right up until you give birth. Contrary to popular belief, during a normal healthy pregnancy, sex does not harm the fetus in anyway, does not harm the woman, and does not induce labor (although, if you are about to go into labor, certain chemicals in semen can help to speed thigns along). In fact, women who continue having sex during a normal pregnancy usually have easier labors (you exercise some of the same muscles when you are having sex and orgasming as you do while giving birth) and a faster recovery (again, the muscles are in better shape.
Be aware that there may be *slight* bleeding, just because your cervix is very tender at this point. So, don't freak out if you see a little bit of blood after; I did, and my doctor explained it's perfectly normal.

I did and my water broke with my second child. This was largely in part of me having an orgasm. It was only then when my water literally broke and needless to say what a mess. It really scared me because I didn't know that could happen. Went to the hospital and had my daughter the next morning. Oh, by the way she was also about 4 weeks to early. This did not stop her from coming home but she also weighed 5 lbs 12oz. Just a few more weeks would of made all the difference. Good luck mommy to be.

As long as you haven't had any complications and your doctor didn't tell you not to, it should be fine to have intercourse right up until you water breaks. It may be interesting to find a comfortable position though. Lying side by side or using the "doggystyle" position tends to be the most comfortable. You can try woman on top but penetration is deep in this position and it will probably be uncomfortable.

GO FOR IT!!!! as long as your Doctor hasnt set any limitations for you...... I think it is great to feel desireable and be desired when you are feeling blah and are ready for the baby to just come out already.
Plus, sperm has prostaglandins in it which soften the cervix, so it can help get you into labor. I had sex on the evening of January 25th, and my daughter was born January 26th- right on her due date. This may have been because my body was already set to go into labor, but, there's no harm in thinking the sex helped. :)

It is safe as long as the woman is having a healthy pregnancy and the doctor has set no limits to activity.

sure, if your doc. hasn't said not too. a side-by-side spooning position is good if your belly is really big.My husbands neice had her water break right after sex and still it wasn't a med. problem -just kind of gross to think about.

hell yes!! just lie on pillows for easier access, or sit on whatever part of his anatomy you wish, you could always bend over & it's not likely to hurt anyone so long as you take reasonable precautions
