Recently found out the wife and I are expecting, finally, and I'm worried about silicone lube. We were playing this morning and without thinking got out the lube, now I'm wondering if the silicone is detrimental to the welfare of our unborn child. Obviously if I am worried, we'll stop using it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if a once or twice (used before we knew) use early on is going to be a problem. TIA

Why would it be a problem? Or, how could it be detrimental to the baby?
Silicone is only a problem when it gets in the bloodstream or tissue. To get there, it'd have to be injected or placed (as in implants, which then must rupture/leak to cause problems).
Silicone lube isn't absorbed through the skin, vagina or genitals. It simply coats them, reducing friction. Furthermore, the cervix is closed during most of the pregnancy to protect the organs and fetus from infection/harm. There's also the amniotic fluid and sac protecting the fetus.
Short answer: No, your use of silicone lube has not harmed your baby. Continued use will not harm your baby. Ask your OBGYN at your next appointment, or give their office a call, for peace of mind, but logic dictates that if silicone can't be absorbed through external/vaginal/anal use AND the baby's protected in several ways, there's no way it could endanger the baby.

I've got a baby girl now, but I -do- miss my wife being pregnant. It was like pregnancy turned her pussy into this furnance. Not to mention she was hornier than I've -ever- seen her... and she's a pretty sexual gal. Man I miss her preggos! 
At any rate... the lube won't hurt the baby at all. There is a thick mucus plug in the cervix designed to keep -everything- away from the baby that could enter the vagina.
Unless your wife puts something in her that can be absorbed right into her blood (like using an enema with anything but water in it.) I can't think of anything sex play related that would hurt that baby.
My wife and I a few times a day right up until the afternoon she delivered... and even then the midwives went on a walk and told us to go have a good time If you want to talk about intense orgasms, holy crap... fucking a pregnant woman at the right angle so you're rubbing the hell out of her G-spot, while she's moving into labor... will trigger the most insane orgasm. I had serious concerns her heart was going to burst, it was that intense.
Later on the midwives told us that the pressure of the baby's head on the G-spot during birth releases a massive dose of pleasure hormones to help with the delivery. While my wife said the birth was, of course, painful... the actual passage of the baby from the womb out to the world was in fact orgasmic. Pretty cool if you ask me
Oh and one more note for you... pregnant women worry about all kinds of stuff, but in reality very little will harm the baby. The worrying is more harmful in most cases than the things being worried about. Worry and stress releases cortisone and other stress chemicals into the body... the baby absorbs all of that right through the placenta. You don't want a growing baby to have its body flooded with stress hormones. Keep your wife calm, assure her that the baby is fine (which in 99.9999 percent of the cases it is), make sure she gets enough healthy food... pregnant bodies need certain nutrition and if they don't get it they just keep eating. The baby -will- get what it needs, even if it has to plow through 14 hamburgers to get enough iron. Healthy eating and excercise will do wonders for your wife. My wife was so mad at herself for not excercising more when she was pregnant. There is this myth that pregant women are supposed to gain a million pounds but the baby and the increase in body fluids should only add about 20-25 pounds. Alot of the weight gain is from poor eating, as the body craves and craves and craves, trying to get what it needs for the baby.
Alright, thats enough for the advice column Congratulations btw.
