It is more than healthy whether you are pregnant or not but near the end you and he should be so rough.
Having sex will help you from being irritable and tense. A good session will take away the tenseness like a hot bubble bath cannot.
If fact, it should make you glow afterwords. Your co-workers can probably see it on your face when you walk in the door. You may even get a few comments like, "You are looking chipper this morning. Just turn you eyes toward them and smile and give them a wink. They will figure it out.

Yes. You can have sex up until the day you deliver. Not only healthy it has numerous good benefits. AND, despite the genius' answer above...the body will only support one pregnancy at a time. Meaning once the uterus is implanted with egg(s){one, twin, triplet, etc) you can not get pregnant with another fetus of a younger gestational age. Anyway, tear it up..you'll be fine. As for the having sex to induce...it is an old wives tale. Good Luck!

First of all, animals891011 is talking trash. You cannot get pregnant again when you already are, so ignore that post.
Yes you can have sex while you're pregnant, though you might not want to hang off the chandeliers, lol. It's even considered heathy in moderation. The only reason for you to not be able to have sex is if your doctor tells you not to because you've been having complications (or are in danger of having them). Check with him/her if you want to be sure, but you should be fine.

Yup it is...
The myth that having sex whilst you are pregnant will hurt the baby, is completely wrong. Sex is very safe during pregnancy, however if you are a high risk pregnancy you may want to double check with your health care provider to be extra cautious. One of the key things to remember whilst you are pregnant you growing baby is protected by amniotic fluid.
The big 'O' factor. Orgasms also have many myths surrounding them. For example it is dangerous to have one because it can harm the baby and can cause pre-term labor, this again is not true, but if you have a high risk pregnancy and are concerned talk to your health provider, they will be happy to discuss your concerns with you. Remember it is always better to be safe, and NO question is a stupid question.
If during or after sex you suffer from pain, vaginal bleeding, or leakage of amniotic fluids you should call you health care provider, and report these symptoms as it may be an indication that sex is not good for you at this time. Also towards the end of your pregnancy when your cervix begins to dilate you may wish to use a condom as an extra prevention from getting an infection.
During pregnancy, you can participate in oral sex if you still enjoy it at this time. For some women this may be more uncomfortable or more painful than usual, if this is the case talk to your partner and explain how you feel. You may also want to avoid to much air getting blown in the vagina at this time, because your circulatory system changes whilst your are pregnant. It is possible for air bubbles to enter the bloodstream which could cause problems to both you and the baby.
During pregnancy many changes happen in the body, and for some women the thought of having sex is about as exciting as dealing with morning sickness. However for some women sexual drive may be enhanced. However you feel talk it over with your partner, this an emotional time for the both of you and it is important that you both express yourselves and your feelings.
Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but as your body changes, somethings in the bedroom may have to change too. As your body gets bigger you may want to discuss using different positions during sex as some positions maybe uncomfortable for you. You may want to switch roles, for example, if you normally use the missionary position try the woman being on top. For a start it will make sex a lot easier for the both of you, and for the mans part it leaves him free to touch his partner a lot more easily than if he were to be on top. If you feel however that your partner is not enjoying sex as much as they did before you got pregnant talk to them. Ask them what they would like, if there are any positions that they would like to try. Let them know that you understand that they have needs and concerns too.
Sex is a beautiful thing. even if you are pregnant. You may not feel particularly sexy but to your partner you are still the most beautiful thing on this earth, and to top it off you are carrying his child. Life does not have to stop the moment you find out you are pregnant, there may be a third person involved now but the intimacy between you and your partner is a very important to keep alive.

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.

Yes you can have sex while you are pregnant but you should check first with your doctor. Some doctors even recommend having sex to help induce labor (when of course you are about due).

Sure, you can have sex when you are pregnant, unless your doctor tells you not to. The last month or so you might be a little more cautious, as prostoglandins in your man's semen might dilate your cervix and start labor.

if your gonna have sex when your pregnant you can risk having a serious problem. If you have to babys in your stomach and one is ready and the other isn't you would have to have major surgery to get one baby out and keep the other alive. even if you wear a condom you can become pregnant. your best bet would be not to have sex when you are pregnant
