As long as your partner is comfortable, and the doctor has not advised against it, then go for it!
I remember one of our friends asking my partner in all seriousness if we were still having sex (I'm 38 weeks) - the answer - of course! I don't think I could stand going 40 weeks without being close to my partner, and I wouldn't expect other couples to be able to pull it off either!
Don't be worried about hurting the baby etc - it is perfectly natural and healthy to continue a sexual relationship with your partner, however keep in mind that there may be times when she really doesn't feel like sex. In these times though she may be totally open to some other form of intimacy!
Enjoy these times too, because as long as neither of your have an STD etc (not that I am saying you do) then you have no need for condoms etc!
Good Luck : )

Absolutly, I know it is kinda a scary thing..because you think you are going to poke the baby or something. But your not. The baby is completely safe in it's own little environment. But one word of advice...Don't do missionary because it will make your girlfriend really uncomfortable. her on top or doggie style is the most comfortable positions during that delicate time. But anyhow I would give you the green light on that one. Congradulations and Good luck on the expecting arrival. And go ahead and have fun. It's not going to hurt your little angel!

Having sex does not hurt the baby.....but this is something for peace of mind that your girlfriend should talk to the doctor about. For me I've been having some bleeding troubles and the doctor said it is best to wait until after the first trimester to try again.

It is safe to have sex til the baby is born, unless there are medical problems that should be discussed with the DR

Is It Safe to Have Sex During Pregnancy?
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.
When It's Not Safe
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.)

It is safe to have sex, unless her doctor says otherwise, until her water breaks. So if she's up for it, have fun!

It is okay to scew your pregnant girlfriend. You get the pleasure but not the price. Did you think mother nature would want you two waiting the whole 9 months?
