Is Sexual intercourse with Pregnant wife Harmful?

Question

Please answer comprehensively with respect to the month of pregnancy when sexual intercouse could be had or not?

Answer 1

Careful! You could poke the baby!

Answer 2

I believe it is ok unless the doctor says that it's not safe. There are some conditions which would make it unsafe for the baby.
Remember too she may be uncomfortable in the old positions, so you may have to try something else. Also in the first trimester women are often too sick or too tired for this. In second trimester women are often feeling pulling inside that is not comfortable and hormones may prevent her from enjoying. She may also be very happy, though.
There is nothing religiously wrong with it.

Answer 3

Short answer that basically sums it all up:
Regular sexual intercourse, even into the third trimester, will usually only make the mother stronger and more capable of performing an easy, healthy delivery. However, make sure to notify your Dr to tell him/ her that you are involved in sexual intercourse. He/she will let you knwo if you need to stop.

Answer 4

Sex can be had up until the day of delivery according to some articles. Some even think that sex during full term (past 36 weeks) can promote labor.

Answer 5

Sex is completely safe throughout the entire prgnancy unless otherwised noted by your doctor. However if she is sore or hurting in her back, stomach, or private area or it is painful for her during intercorse (even if it goes away after a few min) then don't do it.

Sex during Pregnancy

While pregnancy marks the beginning of many physical and emotional changes, it's safe to continue to have sexual intercourse while pregnant - providing you are well and your pregnancy is progressing normally, and unless you have been advised otherwise for medical reasons. In fact, some people may find that sex is better than ever. However, don't be surprised if either you or your partner happen to lose interest in sex at some point or another during the pregnancy.

Throughout your pregnancy it's completely normal for you, and perhaps even your partner's, desire for sex to change. During the first trimester, you may experience the common symptoms of tiredness and nausea, both of which can lessen sexual interest. The good news is that this will probably be followed by renewed interest in the second trimester, with the return of feelings of well-being, energy, vitality and libido! Bear in mind though, that towards the end of your pregnancy, interest may wane again due to increased size and a general lack of desire.

Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?

YES! Unless there is any medical reason to prevent it, sex is safe for most couples during pregnancy. In fact, during pregnancy, your body contains higher levels of hormones. These hormones cause physical changes, which in turn can create heightened physical sensations. Sex during pregnancy has the potential to be great, with some women experiencing orgasm or multiple orgasms for the first time!

In addition, your partner will probably tune in to the fact that you may be enjoying your heightened sensuality, and will probably find your new shape and extra curves quite sensual as well! Quite often men have doubts or concerns about sex harming the baby. You can reassure your partner that it's safe and his penis won't touch or harm the baby at all - it's safe in the amniotic fluid and your cervix is sealed with a plug of mucus. However, don't be too vigorous, and if sex is painful, consult your medical practitioner or carer.

As you reach the end of your pregnancy, you may find that Braxton Hicks contractions are more noticeable to you after sex or orgasm. This usually isn't anything to be concerned about, but keep an eye on things just in case!

What physical and sexual changes occur?

During pregnancy, progesterone and oestrogen generally create a feeling of well-being and contentment, and can result in glowing, supple skin and healthy, shiny hair. These general physical changes are accompanied by more specific changes that can result in a fantastic physical relationship during pregnancy.

Increased oestrogen levels during pregnancy cause an increase in blood flow to the pelvic region, resulting in the swelling that usually occurs when you are aroused. Also, your nipples may become darker (which can be attractive to your partner) and your breasts can become larger, more sensitive and capable of feeling extreme sensation when touched or kissed. With all these nerve endings feeling super-sensitive, arousal is quicker and sensations can be more intense and lasting, including orgasm.

When can we have sex?

Anytime - as long as there are no medical reasons preventing it and providing you're not too vigorous. There is no reason for you to stop making love during pregnancy unless, of course, your labour starts or you don't feel like it!

What are the best lovemaking positions during pregnancy?

Whatever is comfortable for both of you. At some point, certain positions (such as the missionary position) will become uncomfortable because of your size, so you will need to use your imagination and experiment with other positions such as rear-entry, side-by-side and sitting positions - sounds like fun!

Remember everyone is different. Sometimes you might just want a massage or a cuddle. Why not try sensual or erotic massage and oral sex too!

What are the benefits of continuing sex during pregnancy?


Physical and emotional bonding between you and your partner - this is important, as you are about to embark on a new journey together as parents. The closer you are the easier it will be!


Preparation of the pelvic muscles for childbirth - sex will help to keep your pelvic muscles toned and strong for the extreme physical experience ahead and the recovery of the pelvic muscles after the birth.


Enjoyment! Being pregnant is a new experience and there's no reason why it can't be a new sensual experience too!
What if sex isn't enjoyable?

There are many physical and emotional changes during pregnancy. While some sexual relationships may improve during pregnancy, others may stagnate or suffer - understandably so. The best approach is to be open with one-another about your feelings, needs and expectations.

This may be an ideal opportunity to build on your sexual relationship, explore each other and find new ways of giving each other pleasure. On the other hand, you may look at exploring your emotional relationship instead. The best way to overcome any difficulties is to spend time talking. Try to build security and a feeling of closeness by focusing on your love for each other rather than just your sex life (or lack of it!). Chances are if you feel intimate and close, more intimate and satisfying lovemaking will follow.

It might be a good time to indulge in a loving, sensual and erotic massage to set the mood!
