Is sex during pregnancy safe or not? Should we have sex during pregnancy or not?
I'm pregnant for the first time and I'm concerned about the effects of having sex while pregnant. What is safe and what isn't? Will it hurt my baby if I have sex with my partner? Will I lose my baby if we have sex?

Focus on positions which do not put pressure on your stomach. Lying on your side is perfect for this, there are plenty of websites that will give you more detail. As you get along, sex will be a bit more tricky when your stomach pokes out, but its still perfectly safe and just as good for the two of you. Just take things a bit more slowly and gently until you've got a new kid in the house.

You can have sex any way you want to, just as you normally would. As your pregnancy advances and your belly gets bigger, you may want to try positions other than the missionary (man on top) position. It may become uncomfortable. It will not hurt the baby for you to have sex. You will not lose your baby by having sex. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

It is up to you if you want to, but you will find as you get further into the stages you will not get as turned on or even feel the desire. All of it is safe, there ahs only been a few rare cases of the baby having defects and being lost, hope I helped. [ awesomeal16's advice column | Ask awesomeal16 A Question ]
