Well one of my friends is in this situation and he is a young first time father. And well we both were wondering is it safe to have sex during pregnancy if yes for how long.

Yes you can. There are different positions that make it easier as a woman gets further along in her pregnancy. The only position that is a no-no is on your back after 7 months because of the compression of the vena cava that can lead to hypotension and decreased perfusion to the baby.
It's also not good to have sex really late in the pregancy as it can lead to premature rupture of the membranes (placental sac) and cause an early delivery before term.

no not at all! Most women who are having a normal pregnancy may continue to have sex right up until their water breaks or they go into labor.YOU WON't HURT THE BABY BY MAKING LOVE. The amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus protect your baby, and the thick mucus plug that seals the cervix helps guard against infection. There are some circumstances, though, in which you may need to modify your activity or abstain from sex altogether for part or all of your pregnancy. Your midwife or doctor should let you know whether you have — or develop — any complications that make sex a no-go. If you're uncertain, ask your caregiver. ENJOY! congratulations in advance!

Yes..you can have sex the entire time-right up until the water breaks, unless the doctor says otherwise. Consider that pregnant woman may not be comfortable at all times during her pregnancy and it is up to her when to stop.

Absolutely, right up until mums water break, then it should be avoided due to risk of infection. In fact, in the last stages of pregnancy, it is thought to help bring on labour!
But be sensitive, mum may either be tired and feeling sick (especially early on), uncomfortable about her new body and a little overwhelmed by everything, or the other extreme - wanting more sex. Or sometimes a combination of the two.
Your friend should talk to his partner, and be sensitive to how she is feeling - every woman and every pregnancy is different.

Yes you can have sex the whole time up until the womans water breaks. Now if your doctor tells you not too because of some high risk concerns..then that is the only time you cant.

Of course, it is safe to have sex during pregnancy right up till it is due. I have heard of people, having sex to try and bring labour on. So there is no reason to stop your sex life. I have sex right up until my little fellow came along. Have fun!!!

You can have sex during pregnancy only as long as the woman is comfortable doing so.

It is completely safe to have sex throughout your entire pregnancy unless otherwise stated by your Dr.

the Doctor's usually say as long as it is not too uncomfortable for the woman than Sex is fine all the way thru the prgnancy. It's usually better cause you don't have to worry bout getting Pregnant...lol
