Yes, a woman can still have sex when she's pregnant. In fact, having sex can help reduce stress and the tensions that can build up during pregnancy.
Most women who want to are able to enjoy sex throughout pregnancy. A pregnant woman should avoid vaginal intercourse if either partner has a herpes sore or if she:
has a high risk of miscarriage
has a high risk of premature labor
has broken her waters
has pain
believes labor has begun
is unable to find a comfortable position
Other satisfying forms of sex play, called outercourse, which includes body rubbing, mutual masturbation, and oral sex, can be enjoyed when a couple wants to avoid vaginal intercourse.

Absolutely,......Matter of fact many OB's recommend this closer to delivery time to stimulate the cervix and bring about delivery. Of course you want to make sure it's ok with your doctor just incase there are other issues and certainly no sex if your water's broken or immediately after birth. Otherwise enjoy.

Yes, you can have sex up until you deliver your baby.
as long as the water hasn't broken, of course. Some swear that having intercouse will induce labor.. never worked here! a week overdue =]

As long as you're not at risk for miscarriage or pre-term labor as determined by your dr, yes, it is safe. With my first I was terrified to touch my dh, lol, but now I'm a lot more relaxed.

Sure. The only time a woman is cautioned against sex is when she is very high risk or on bed rest.

Yes as long as your water hasn't broken, and your Dr hasn't told you not to. If you have a history of pre-term labor or other issues they may tell you to abstain from sexual activity.

for the most part yes if you are having a normal routine pregnancy. there are some situations where you ob/gyn will advise against it such as if you are on bed rest. ask you doc.

Yes, unless the doctors tells you no, or your uncomfortable with doing it.
