There is no reason to change or alter your sexual activity during pregnancy unless your health care provider advises otherwise. Intercourse or orgasm during pregnancy will not harm your baby, unless you have a medical problem. Remember that your baby is well protected in your uterus by the amniotic fluid that surrounds him or her.
Your health care provider may recommend not having intercourse early in pregnancy if you have a history of miscarriages. Intercourse may also be restricted if you have certain complications of pregnancy, such as premature labor or bleeding. You may need to ask your health care provider to clarify if this means no penetration, no orgasms, or no sexual arousal, as different complications may require different restrictions.

Jami answered Thursday September 25 2008, 12:28 am: The previous answer you were given is completely untrue. I just had my son a year ago and my husband and I had the same question for the doctor. I was told that it is not harmful to the baby when a mother has sexual intercourse. There is no specific month for it; you just need to be aware that the first three months are the most sensitive in the pregnancy since the percentage of miscarriage is higher within those three months. Unless a woman is put on bed rest and told by her doctor not to have sex, she is free to do it. It is important to use protection while pregnant if there is any chance of an STD because some STD's could harm the unborn child as well as the medication that would have to be taken for the infection. Many women have sex while they are pregnant. You just have to be gentler than you normally would for your own comfort. Pregnant women have to choose positions that are comfortable for them because the act is a bit different with a huge belly in front. The baby is not affected. Women are actually encouraged to have sex at the end of their pregnancy because the orgasm causes contractions that can contribute to the labor process. [ Jami's advice column | Ask Jami A Question ]
