    Yep in fact some docs encourage you to have sex right up until you give birth as it can stimulate labour!

    Definately! That would be pure torture if you couldn’t, because later on you will start having vivid dreams and get turned on so easily, and as a bonus the Big O is even better while preggers!

    I answered your second question in your first post but here it is again.. lol

    As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like. But you may not always want to. At first, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue and nausea may sap your sexual desire. During the second trimester, increased blood flow to your sexual organs and breasts may rekindle your desire for sex. But by the third trimester, weight gain, back pain and other symptoms may once again dampen your enthusiasm for sex.

    Your developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the mucous plug that blocks the cervix throughout most of your pregnancy. Sexual activity won’t affect your baby.

    yes it is safe to have sex.

    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.

    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.
    If your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider anticipates or detects certain significant complications with your pregnancy, he or she is likely to advise against sexual intercourse. The most common risk factors include:

    a history or threat of miscarriage
    a history of pre-term labor (you’ve previously delivered a baby before 37 weeks) or signs indicating the risk of pre-term labor (such as premature uterine contractions)
    unexplained vaginal bleeding, discharge, or cramping
    leakage of amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds the baby)
    placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta (the blood-rich structure that nourishes the baby) is situated down so low that it covers the cervix (the opening of the uterus)
    incompetent cervix, a condition in which the cervix is weakened and dilates (opens) prematurely, raising the risk for miscarriage or premature delivery
    multiple fetuses (you’re having twins, triplets, etc.)

    Yes. Unless the doctor tells you otherwise.

  20. Vicky V on March 15, 2013 at 10:09 am said:

    If you don’t have history of miscarriges.. It is safe but when you are 8-9 pregnant, you have to do it carefully..

    You cannot harm the baby just by having normal sex.

  22. ConcernedMama0624 on March 15, 2013 at 11:15 am said:

    As long as you have not been restricted by your doctor, you can. A lot of times towards the last weeks 36 and on, some doctors promote having sex to help induce labor! :)

    ive been told that the baby can come out faster if you have sex if ur baby is late then yes its perfectly fine if not youd really have to ask your doctor or a close friends whose done it :D

    Yes it is. There is no way for anything to be damaged. The only problem is that with hormones running amuck as they will, you may or may not want to. Your body is going to go through a lot of changes, and you may feel an increased or decreased sex drive. Most woman have a slightly higher than normal sex drive durning pregnancy and there’s nothing wrong with that. During the 9th month and you feel like you’re going to pop, you will most likely want to stop the intercourse on your own, because you just wont feel like it. It’s different from person to person, but in any case, it’s perfectly safe.

    Yes, as long as you are not bleeding, the baby is well protected.
