Is it okay to have sex when your pregnant?

Question

I am a lesbian, so I mean lesbian sex. Does this hurt the baby? Does the pressure hurt the baby? Just curious...

Answer 1

well, I'm not a lesbian, but I am a mom to three kids. Their father and I did everything as normal during my pregnancies, and nothing ever happened. They do say that blowing into the vagina is not a good idea, but other than that, if it hurts just don't do it. Good Luck.

Answer 2

if ur a lesbian, just dont let ur partner blow air into ur vagina that is very unsafe. (i read that in a magazine somewhere) and if u use toys, just be careful. stop if ur uncomfortable. dont use anythign that is dangerous. it shouldnt hurt the baby though. also at some point ur not gonna want to lay on ur back so u might want to try different positions

Answer 3

Congratulations! And no, the thing that makes the baby....wont' hurt the baby...although I guess in your case this kind of sex didn't make the baby. Oh well, more power to ya.

Answer 4

Unless there's something that puts you at high risk (high blood pressure, etc), you should be fine to have sex. Your baby is very well-protected, so you don't have to worry about hurting him/her.

As always, consult your OB to make sure it's safe.

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.)
Common Questions and Concerns
The following are some of the most frequently asked questions about sex during pregnancy.

Can sex harm my baby?
No, not directly. Your baby is fully protected by the amniotic sac (a thin-walled bag that holds the fetus and surrounding fluid) and the strong muscles of the uterus. There's also a thick mucus plug that seals the cervix and helps guard against infection. The penis does not come into contact with the fetus during sex.

Can intercourse or orgasm cause miscarriage or contractions?
In cases of normal, low-risk pregnancies, the answer is no. The contractions that you may feel during and just after orgasm are entirely different from the contractions associated with labor. However, you should check with your health care provider to make sure that your pregnancy falls into the low-risk category. Some doctors recommend that all women stop having sex during the final weeks of pregnancy, just as a safety precaution, because semen contains a chemical that may actually stimulate contractions. Check with your health care provider to see what he or she thinks is best.

Answer 6

there are many positions that would be safe. as long as you are not applying pressure directly to the abdomen. From behind or her on top are great positions

Answer 7

Nope, if it doesn't harm you, it won't harm the baby. The baby is quite well protected within its placenta; even vaginal penetration won't affect it.

Answer 8

as long as youre not in a high risk pregnancy... or feel discomfort... otherwise you should go with your normal life!
