Answer 3

I actually find that sex is *better* for me when I'm pregnant.

As long as your doctor has not told you to stop having sex (usually because of bleeding or other medical issues), you can have sex up until the day you deliver. In fact, sometimes couples will have sex at the very end of pregnancy to try to initiate labor.

Answer 4

That's up to you ... but as a 'general rule' if there is not a 'good medical reason' (such as the possibility of miscarriage or premature labor) then it's 'just fine' to have sex when you are pregnant. Just make sure that you are 'always comfortable' while you have it ... if it starts to get 'uncomfortable' you'll need to tell your partner to either 'change to a more comfortable position' or to 'STOP' ...

Answer 5

I've been pregnant three times (2 girls and 1 boy). I had wonderful sex during my girls pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my son, I have to admit that my husband seemed to repulse me.....weird but true, so I just felt like no sex and had no sex.

As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like. But you may not always want to. At first, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue and nausea may sap your sexual desire. During the second trimester, increased blood flow to your sexual organs and breasts may rekindle your desire for sex. But by the third trimester, weight gain, back pain and other symptoms may once again dampen your enthusiasm for sex.

Many couples worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, especially in the first trimester. But sex isn't a concern. Early miscarriages are usually related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems in the developing baby — not to anything you do or don't do.

The baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the mucous plug that blocks the cervix throughout most of your pregnancy. Your partner's penis won't touch the baby.

As your pregnancy progresses, experiment to find the most comfortable positions. There's just one caveat. Avoid lying flat on your back during sex. If your uterus compresses the veins in the back of your abdomen, you may feel lightheaded or nauseous.

If you have oral sex, make sure your partner does not blow air into your vagina. Rarely, a burst of air may block a blood vessel (air embolism) — which could be a life-threatening condition for you and the baby.

Although most women can safely have sex throughout pregnancy, sometimes it's best to be cautious. Some reasons are:
Preterm labor- Exposure to the prostaglandins in semen may cause contractions — which could be worrisome if you're at risk of preterm labor.
Vaginal bleeding- Sex is not recommended if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Problems with the cervix- If your cervix begins to open prematurely (cervical incompetence), sex may pose a risk of infection.
Problems with the placenta- If your placenta partly or completely covers your cervical opening (placenta previa), sex could lead to bleeding and preterm labor.
Multiple babies- If you're carrying two or more babies, your doctor may advise you not to have sex late in pregnancy — although researchers have not identified any relationship between sex and preterm labor in twins.

But I suggest you ask your doctor. I can tell you its ok and it is wonderful, but I bet you won't feel comfortable until you ask your doctor.

Answer 6

I did up until the day before I had both of my kids. There are lots of ways to make it more comfortable for you right up until the time for labor, unless you are sick and it no longer feels good. I was on bedrest for 5 months for both of my pregnancies, and that was about the only fun I had!

Answer 7

yes, as long as it does not feel uncomfortable or unless your ob advises against having sex. sex can be very enjoyable when you are pregnant.

Answer 8
