Yes it’s safe but nothing too vigorous or bizarre.

Answer by Chuckles
Completely safe, unless:

* the doctor advises against
* any vaginal bleeding
* high risk pregnancy/ pregnancy complications
* late pregnancy and waters break – risk of infection.

Otherwise, sex whilst pregnant is completely safe and there are no limitations. From 4 weeks pregnant up to 40/42 weeks pregnant, sex can be enjoyed.

Sometimes morning sickness, cramps, uncomfortable positions can deter a woman from a sex, but this can be worked around. Sometimes the hormones make woman either detest sex or crave sex.

As the pregnancy progresses, just gotta work around the bump lol, experiment and have fun.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and i enjoy sex whilst pregnant, i am much more sensitive all over and it’s great. My last pregnancy we enjoyed an active sex life up until a couple of days prior to our sons birth.

Just need to consider the woman, if it’s uncomfortable, sore, wrong position etc, and because the uterus is larger in pregnancy, orgasms can cause cramps/slight contractions after sex.

It safe, maybe just take it easy, no swinging from chandeliers lol, and don’t have sex if it hurts, you bleed after it, or you have been spotting or bleeding, oh, and if your doctor tells you not to.

Sexual activities during pregnancy r quite safe if certain precautions r taken. It is better 2 completely avoid penetrative sex during the 1st & last 3 months (trimesters). It means sexual act involving insertion of anything inside the vagina is prohibited. In unavoidable cases better go 4 oral without exerting pressure on her abdomen. During the remaining months normal sexual intercourse can b done but certain positions involving pressure on the abdomen of the lady has 2 b avoided. Missionary position is a big no. It gives max pressure on her abdomen. Adopt positions like Woman On Top (WOT), Doggy (inserting from behind), Spoon, L shape, etc. During pregnancy 1 can have unprotected sex since there is no chance of further pregnancy
