I had sex up to the last minute-two days before to be exact. I think we maybe should have stopped being so wild though, because she changed her position and was born three weeks early. I blame it on the position we were in. Just don't get too wild and everything will be fine. The baby might actually like it if you enjoy yourself. Just wait until the middle months, you may be ravenous for it without knowing why and it's because of the blood flow to that area of your body. Something to look forward to. enjoy yourself while your pregnant, everything will be ok! sorry you're sick but it will pass. Eat small amounts of food all throughout the day, especially when you first wake up-even a piece of toast or cereal will help.

Well, firstly at this point the embryo is clingin to the Uterus wall and will not even come close to filling the uterus for some time now. Secondly, I think that vagina and uterus are connected (hence baby comes out of uterus and down the vaginal canal for birth) but as the baby develops, so does the uterin plug, which is what keeps the fluids and such inside throughout the pregnancy. The plug is like an inch thick - so there is absolutely no chance that your husband could puncture the sack or touch the developing baby.
The sickness, I find, comes largely from fear of the process - and while that is normal, sooner or later your progesterone kicks in an you feel good and are happy again. I was warned that I oral sex upon a pregnant woman is not a good idea because air can cause some problems, but other than that the only limitation is your own decision. I only had sex a handful of times while I was pregnant - I just wasn't into it.
Peace!

I dont know exactly how far apart they are but i can reassure you that sex is completely and perfectly safe!! I have 2 children and we had realtions up till the last few days before delivery. Not a problem. You might have a problem if you expect your husband to go without for the next 6 months and then after the delivery you do have to abstain from sex for 6 weeks or so. REALLY you will be fine!!

There is usually no risk attached to having sex while you're pregnant. The uterus is at the top of the vagina, separated from it by the cervix, which is like a 'door' into the uterus. During pregnancy, this door is tightly shut and sealed with a 'plug' of mucous. It stays like this until you go into labour.
Sex with your husband is quite safe, he can't go near the baby. I'm attaching a picture from medline which might help you to understand.
Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy!

Thats a hard one. Every womens uterus is different. If you have been able in the past to have sex with out it hurting you when it goes right in then you'll be fine to have sex. But if you do feel it starts to hurts then ask him to withdrawl a bit.
It will be fine just go steady and not do strange positions.
I read before that it help your vagina walls to have sex. which helps when your in labour.
I know how you feel thou.
Congratulations on your pregnancy

i understand completely I was like that with both my pregnancies and believe it or not after my husband saw the scans the thought of having sex so close to his baby boys turned him off so if you're not happy have a chat about it. Relax a little about it... try www.kidshealth.org and then look up pregnancy and then sex and pregnancy and the following info should calm you down a bit.
Good luck and enjoy it's a fantastic experience and you get a beautiful baby out of it at the end - enjoy!!!

Unless you have some sort of complication, it's completely safe. If you're that worried about talk to your doctor for reassurance, but it won't hurt you or your baby. Don't stress out about it cause the stress will do you more harm than the intercourse will.

There is no danger in sex during pregnancy. The penis or the intercourse cannot damage or harm the baby. Sex is only not safe during the last weeks of pregnancy, not because of intercourse, but because of possible womb contractions that may stimulate a premature birth.

there is not a willy in the world big enough to reach the baby (sorry boys)
and the birth cannal it kind of a ubend any way so he'd have a job to manouver it up and around to your cervix.
only do it if you feel comfortable with the idea
