yes it is safe. unless the dr tells you not to. there is not a position that is going ti hurt the baby either. you will know when the man no longer needs to be on top because it will be uncomfortable for you. this may be TMI but during the latter you may try doggie style and put a pillow under your belly sometimes the bouncing can be a bit uncomfortable.

I didn't. I didn't think I would hurt the baby, but I didn't want to get a urinary tract infection or a bladder infection that needed to be treated with meds. Also, I didn't want to have an orgasm because I was afraid to miscarry. I know, I know..I am paranoid. Everyone else does it though and they are fine. I just stuck to the other kinds of things you can do for your husband. Call me crazy folks.

It's perfectly fine...and healthy for you and the baby! The baby is not going to be injured in the process - he is cushioned in his amniotic fluid, so it won't affect him at all. Just try to find a position that's comfortable for you. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and still have sex...I haven't found it uncomfortable at all! So have fun and good luck!

As long as you are in a monogamous relationship, and your OB hasn't specifically stated otherwise, it is completely safe to have sex all the way through your pregnancy.
If you have multiple partners, you need to be careful about STD transmission, as this COULD be harmful to the baby.

It is totally safe to have sex as long as your doctor has not told you otherwise
women with premature labor are told not too
women with incompetent cervix's are told not too
women who have had there waters broke early can't have sex
Unless you get a complication such as those - you are fine to have sex
Good luck and dont worry

It's safe unless you have a high risk pregnancy. If your doctor tells you not to have sex, dont. Otherwise it's fine.

Yes it is safe, unless (not to be rude) he is extremely well endowed (12+ inches).

As long as you are not a high risk pregnancy, yes
