Have any women continued using "toys" while they are pregnant? Will using these hurt the baby--especially if they like to be taken in really far and deep? My partner wants to continue using these toys; but is it safe? Please tell me your experiences.

Hi there. I am afraid I don't have any experience in this department but I can answer your question for you.
As long as the "toys" that you mention simulate intercourse and are not more invasive than an erect penis would be they should not cause any harm. You do not say how far along in your pregnancy you are. As long as you are not having any bleeding or in any other way "threatening a miscarriage" then I can see no harm in what you are doing.
As you get closer to your due date you may continue tho I would be a bit more gentle, that is just common sense. A good rule of thumb is that if you are simulating intercourse then you are not going to hurt anything. Sex is okay right up until the end of your pregnancy unless for some reason you doctor would tell you to abstain. And, if you lose your mucus plug, start to dialate or if your water breaks you should stop sexual activity.
That is everything that I can think to tell you. There is no reason that you cannot enjoy your sex life and your pregnancy at the same time.
IF tho, for some reason using the toys makes YOU feel uncomfortable then you should stop using them! It is important that you feel good about everything that you are doing during this time of your life. Make sure that you are doing things for the right reasons and not to try to please someone else.
Take care and have fun.
Feel free to write to me if you have any other questions, I will write back to you.
Blessings

I saw in a discovery home & health program 2 weeks ago that pregnant women should not introduce any strange objects (aside from the p***) in their vaginas...because they are thicker, made of all kind of materials and could do harm to you, and by that harm to the baby. This could cause bleeding, tearing or something like that...putting at risk your pregnancy. Better just hold it for 9 months or if you are gonna use them do it gentle and not as far deep as they are supossed to go.

Not a problem if done with care. Dont force things to far in and the general rule of thumb is if it begins to hurt, stop using it. If you start to spot, stop using them, and if the pain or bleeding continues go to the Dr's. Otherwise, a bit of play here and there doesn't hurt anything.
One thing though you can try is getting one of those exercise balls- if you are father along in your pg you can lean on that without being afraid to hurt the baby.

It's generally safe, except that you want to be extra careful not to penetrate too forcefully since plastic is more rigid than flesh. If you have placenta previa, using a sex toy (or, for that matter, having intercourse) could traumatize the placenta and cause heavy bleeding that could jeopardize your pregnancy. If you're at risk for premature labor, having an orgasm could cause contractions. And if your water has broken, there's a risk of infection to the baby. In any case, make sure the dildo is clean, and don't share it without cleaning it.

As long as you're not at risk for pre-term labor and don't have any complication that would suggest sex is a risk, such as premature labor, cervical incompetence, or ruptured membranes. If you have any of those complications, I would recommend that you not have sex or an orgasm, since either could bring on labor or lead to an infection. If you're having a form of intercourse that you normally have when you're not pregnant and it's comfortable for you, then that's fine.

it really is thoroughly effective to apply sparkling and sterile sex toys at the same time as pregnant purely be constructive to be somewhat better tender with them then primary. do no longer use if you're in probability for preterm labour, water has damaged, you've an infection or your well-being practitioner has stated no sex.

I used toys during my pregnancy but not for penetration just for clitorial stimulation. I wasnt sure either. I would ask your doctor for sure.
