Is Pregnant Sex Safe?

When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, I asked my ob-gyn, "Is there anything I can't do?" She reassured me that I was fine. "So, anything goes?" Eric asked with more emphasis, to which my doctor looked puzzled. Beet red, I finally blurted out, "Umm ... you know ... can we still have sex?"

Yes, she assured us, sex was fine. After she left, my husband and I looked at one another. What were we -- two mature adults or a couple of 16-year-olds?

We realized that sex is still a sensitive subject for doctors and patients. But it's a part of life, and for most of us, it's what got us pregnant in the first place! To shed some light on sex during pregnancy, we've tackled your top questions.

spidervenom 1990 I am so very sorry to hear about your lose. I lost my first child when I was young 21 to be exact she was born still born after me being a week overdue. I am currently 42 and hit my 32 week mark now with another little girl and I am so happy now that she is on her way to me. Things do get better. Just keep trying and you soon will be expecting another one soon.

Wow Spidervenom me & you were in the same boat last year. My son Brison, was born still birth on 9/11/09 and my due date was 10/23/09. I started back on birth control pills and then ran out but didn't pick up my RX so long story short I missed my period July 2010 and was informed I'm pregnant. Of course I'm nervous and excited at the same time. My words of wisdom, we can't predict the future but it's going to happen when you're not expecting it to happen.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I have lost a baby at nine weeks. It was hard, but you get through it day by day. Sometimes, when one is anxiously waiting to get pregnant, it can keep one from conceiving. They say to wait one year to get pregnant after the loss of a baby. Also, ask the doctor to see if there is a problem.
