What do you think?? My husband said he thinks he'll feel akward knowing our little baby is in there. Can you tell me your experiences? Also is it ever not safe to have sex while pregnant? any other advice is greatly appreciated

It is only not safe if you have some kind of complication - and your doctor will let you know when/what that is. If you start bleeding or having unusual cramping or start leaking any fluids, it would be wise to abstain from sex until you talk to your doctor just because they can be warning signs or a problem (but do not always mean there is a problem).
My hubby thought it would be awkward too, but that thought quickly changed in his mind. The only time it is weird is when the baby is moving around later in pregnancy - like I am 37 weeks now and the baby moves around a lot when my hubby and I get 'cozy' - and that can be a mood killer - but more for me than him. Sex during pregnancy can be really hard, but my hubby and I have turned it into a bonding thing - we laugh a lot at all the crazy ways we have to position ourselves to get comfortable and we just try to enjoy the time we do have together, no matter how imperfect.
Also - when you feel like you don't want to have sex or can't have sex, that does not mean your intimate time has to be sacrificed. I found that if every night my hubby and I plan to have some sexually intimate time together (whether I want to have sex or not) to do whatever we decide to do we both stay happier and more connected.
Good luck!

I recommend looking up some literature about sex during pregnancy, you and your husband read it.. so you both know that you wont hurt the baby as long as YOU are in comfortable positions..
And the only time sex during pregnancy is unsafe is if you are high risk and the doc tells you not to, and after you water has broken (which I doubt you'll actually WANT to have sex then, lol)
Good luck and congratulations. :)

well first of all congratulations on your little jelly bean! well if you are a normal pregnancy then i wouldnt see any problems regarding sex! in the ocasions that is best to stay away from sex is in a high risk pregnancy, bleeding, or sppoting. treaten miscarriage. so tell your husband that everything is ok and normal. theres no way he would hurt your precious baby! actually i'll keep you happy and relax lol! and everyone would be happy! good luck!!!

no its normal. once i started taking my bf to the doc visits with me and he started hearing her heartbeat its like he wouldnt have anything to do with me that way. i tell him though that once the baby is born it is 6 weeks until anything can happen and he thinks im kidding, oh no im not especially since woman are the most fertile during that time. i think its normal for some men to feel that way. I thought that if i asked the doc that if my baby was high enough for us to do stuff would help nope it sure didnt. it went in one ear and out the other. oh well i dont really care anymore for i feel so huge (eventhough im not really lol 8 months and i keep getting told i look like i am 4 months)

I dread sex right now...32 weeks. It is very uncomfortable and I am just never in the mood which sucks because my hubby always is!!! He doesn't feel awkward until after....then he feels bad and says maybe we shouldn't anymore but always do! It is perfectly safe and is recomended at the end to start labor!

Midwifes depending on some of them, will tell you that sex is great to bring on birth in your last month. I had sex throughout my first pregnancy and it was great! I think if you are both happy with having sex there is nothing wrong with that and if you dont want to then you dont have too. Good luck

It wasn't akward for my hubby, but for me. But, it is perfectly safe, maybe uncomfortable, though. Try to find a position that is easy and not painful. Laying on our sides always worked for us. That way my big belly was facing away from my hubby and he wouldn't have to look at it.

Talk to your dr. They say when your pregnant you usually have better sex, As your belly grows your gonna wanna try different positions, all you can do is try and if it comes very uncomfortable then stop, but it is not harmful to the baby.

It's okay to have sex. Don't overdo it. My doctor just warned me that orgasms can lead to early labor and since I have no sex drive right now I won't be worrying about that too much. You can be romantic and satisfy your husband in other ways if you are uncomfortable or really worried.

Men love it because a woman's wound is wet and warm during pregnancy. Pregnant P is the best p. Once he gets in he'll forget all about the baby being inside.
