As long as the dr says it's fine...have fun! Sex can't hurt the baby. If you feel contrax afterwards, just slow down!

Have fun and congratulations! :rose:
 
Congratulations! :)

How far along are you?

During a low-risk pregnancy, sex generally won't cause any problems for the baby, though it can cause a bit of stress for the parents-to-be, as you're finding out. As long as there aren't any reasons for restrictions, you can have sex right up to the day you deliver if you want. In fact, the prostaglandins in semen can trigger labor under the right conditions (when the cervix is ripe, for example). It never worked for me, but I sure had fun trying! :D

Have fun!
 
You people have no respect for the baby? (Yes, it's a question... possibly rhetorical) Just imagine what the baby's thinking when daddy's poking around in there (and if not daddy, then some complete stranger to them). I'd be pretty pissed. Maybe that's where the whole "sex can start labor" dealio comes in. The baby got pissed off from all that poking around.

EVERYTHING you just described falls under the category of "taboo." And taboos are learned, not something anyone is born with. So even if a person could remember being in the womb/being a baby (which they don't/can't), the baby in question wouldn't have learned the social protocol to be angry, ashamed, or violated.

But for sex while pregnant? Depending on your progress into your pregnancy, you might have to use certain positions, or abstain from certain positions. I would avoid putting excess wait on the belly region, but other than that, have at it.

Errr, first, it's not a baby yet. But more importantly, the daddy doesn't poke into the womb... Or something is really, really wrong. The cervix is strong enough to keep the foetus and all the fluids around it from falling out, so of course it is strong enough to keep the daddy from getting in. :)

I'm pretty sure HC was joking (at least I hope so). But yeah, it's not exactly like the baby's getting smacked in the head by an invading penis...

One of my best friends is pregnant right now, and her doc gave her the same advice. Sex is fine, as long as she doesn't put too much weight on her tummy. Also, I've heard before to be careful not to blow air into a woman's vagina while engaging in oral sex if she's pregnant. If there's anything you and your partner do during sex that you're not sure would be safe, always check with your doctor first.

I've read the same thing, but I couldn't find any other sources than the "oral sex" article on wikipedia. Basically, if you blow hard enough into a pregnant woman's vagina, there is a risk that air will enter her womb (Which looks a bit weird, because the cervix isn't a rusty old door) and that this air will go through the placenta into the woman's blood, forming a bubble of air. And bubbles in blood end up causing an embolism. The sources on wikipedia were pretty hard to check, so I don't know if it's true or false. Anyway, who would blow hard into a pregnant woman's vagina ?
 
i would like to thank all of you for your comments they have been a great help...
just as we thought and my doctor has said " YOU WILL NOT HURT THE BABY"
but its always nice to get other people's input ... :D


i am 16 weeks now... and the belly is nicely growing..:cathappy:


and as for HybridCrow comment . if my doctor would of had told me that it would hurt my baby i wounldnt even think about haveing sex. i do respect and love my unborn baby to much to hurt it just for a moment of pleasure.

Once again thank you all, and if you have any more useful comments they are more then welcome. i could use all the advice i can get as for this is my first baby... :kiss:

You're probably finding out that pregnant women are targets for unsolicited advice. While some of these people are well-meaning, others are full of shit.

IGNORE, whenever possible, the people who will insist upon telling you their pregnancy/birth horror stories. I used to get this a lot. I think it's inappropriate, but people will insist on doing it.

Don't take any advice that contradicts what your doctor tells you, unless you have reason to believe that your doctor's a nutjob. Probably not the case, but you never know.

Enjoy your pregnancy! You're 16 weeks right now--for me, that was a great time to be pregnant! :rose:
 
Gonna add my 2¢ here

Lo Risk Pregs are fine for sex. Early on the foetus is way up in the uterus and, as stated, if the "daddy" is poking the baby something is very wrong. My suspicion is that its the crows concept of anatomy. As the baby gets bigger you'll probably find that you're not as comfortable getting pounded during sex. There's just less and less room in there for ANYTHING else but the bambino. You may even want to BONE UP (sic - sorry) on your BJ skills towards the end.

The one thing I will suggest is to STAY AWAY from the GSpot Orgasms as described in the TRY THIS thread. The orgasms are PUSHERS which are copmpletely different than the pullers a clitoral orgasm is. The LAST thing you want is to turn your lo-risk into a hi risk or worse.

Best of luck and you should look forward to LOTS of sex after you have the baby. I think it is a great way to normalize post preggers hormone levels and prevent the blahs. Do LOTS of GSpot sex after the baby. It'll help tighten things up again and there is NOTHING that triggers oxytocin production like GSPOT Orgasms!! Again - the post partum depression idea especially - that's based on MY view of the world... probably not backed up by any scientific research - YET! It just makes sense to me that this is how the bod is set up.
 
I just thought of this:

After a point, you'll want to be off your back as much as possible. The increasing weight of the uterus puts pressure on blood vessels (the inferior vena cava?). I'm not even close to being an expert on anatomy, so I don't remember exactly what it's called. I'll defer to the biology majors on this one. :)

If you have a book like What to Expect When You're Expecting or something similar, you could find the info there as well.
 
Sex during pergnacy is fine from what i heard... and not to mention ur not gonna get pregnant with more this way lol :p

During high school i had a friend who got pregnant, and was over a week over due, and one day when they were at her mom's house she took the daddy to the side and was like this is the only time i'm ever gonna tell you to have sex with my daughter. I laughted when i heard that.
 
When my wife was pregnant with our second child, she was sure she would deliver at any time, so I had to stay close. I cancelled a very important business trip and basically sat around for days waiting..................Then we started playing around and made love at approx. 7:00 pm, like two spoons, I was so excited by her huge heavy tits.
I, of course, immediately fell asleep. She stayed up and at 2:30 am she woke me with the car packed and said lets go, it's time. Hours later our daughter was born. Coincidence? We have never thought so.
Good luck and enjoy all aspects of these times.
