Can You Have Sex During Pregnancy?

So you've been trying and trying and -- finally! -- those two tiny pink lines have appeared on the pregnancy test. After grilling your new ob about whether your baby is developing as expected, you probably have one more lingering question: Now that the deed is done, can you...um...still have sex?

Absolutely, obstetricians say. If your pregnancy is uncomplicated, and you feel up to it, you can dance in the sheets until your water breaks. "Men often feel a little ignored because everything is so centered on the baby, so we encourage couples to have sex because it helps keep them bonded," says Terry Hoffman, MD, an ob-gyn at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore.

Actually, sex may be more fun during pregnancy precisely because the pressure is off. If sex had begun to seem like a chore because you were working overtime to get pregnant, now it's all fun and games. And if you've spent most of your reproductive years trying not to get pregnant, well, you're out of the woods there too. "It was really freeing," says Michele, of San Francisco, mom to 8-month-old Kai. (Last names have been omitted throughout for privacy.) "My husband used to pull out or stop to put on a condom. Once I got pregnant, we didn't have that extra stress."

When my husband was able to get past his fears, and talked to our OB, we have all the other parts of intimacy and play, just not actual intercourse. It takes an open mind and communication, but it can be worked out. Hang in there ladies, you aren't alone.

When I had to go on bed rest in week 18, my husband had no problem with the idea, he was wrestling with fears about hurting the baby, and we had been through a miscarriage, and he wouldn't even risk that again. The key to it all is...WE TALKED ABOUT IT :) It is so important. You can "take care of yourself", as can he, but the intimacy is sometimes lost and bonds of the relationship strained.

I am 39 y/o and I am in week 32, with my second high risk pregnancy. This is my second child, but my husbands first. He is amazing about everything for this pregnancy, but the "not being able to have intercourse" part is the hardest for us. We are both extremely attracted to each other, but we can not have intercourse (advised by our OB) until baby is at least in week 38.

there doesnt nessasarly have to be something wrong if it hurts to have sex pregnant. im 35 weeks and oddly sex just started feeling good again. for a little while it was hurting but its just because some positions were now uncomfortable etc. also make sure you go to the bathroom before you have sex. sometimes it would hurt me because he would be pushing on my bladder when we had sex.

It's good to have sex when pregnant; it makes delivery easier because of the kegal muscles staying active. I find the most pleasing position to both parties is spooning. Just be sure his hand is not on your tummy. Only because my daughter decided to move while my husband was touching my belly. He said it was a total mood killer!

If your husband cannot do that have him move elsewhere. Let him visit only when he is sober and behaving. If you love your husband you will not permit him to shame himself. Do not be afraid of taking control of this situation. You owe it to your child, who is powerless and deserves better.

It only freaks him out a little bit when he thinks I'm squishing the baby.. But as long as you're comfortable and can find positions that don't hurt.. Go for it!

To: eagleracing12x Nothing is going to change. His verbal abuse will only increase with the baby because he is no longer the center of your attention. Leaving him is a decision that ONLY you can make, you have to live with the results, no one else. In my opinion, you have to ask yourself, do you want your child in an disturbed environment? Do you want your child to grow up thinking it's ok for daddy to call mommy names? Do you want the verbal to escalate to physical abuse???

i agree. My husband is not the stay home type, I'm 27 weeks along with our first baby and we very recently got married. Since pregnancy makes things all about you for a while, maybe he feels a little neglected. Talk to him about how he's feeling and if the situation calls for it lay down the law. Its his job now to take care of you and your family, and he has to step up. Find some time after you talk about it, to do something really special together and the magic will come back. :)communicate.

Sex with the man that helped you conceive your child is a wonderful feeling. Compromising is the key word! On both Ends. He enjoys it because i am more wet than ever. I enjoy it because i get to be in control with the positioning without him even realizing it at times just as long as we are both satisfied and he is knocked out after that makes me feel great because he is relaxed and getting a great rest as well as myself.

I think that if your significant other can't go masterbate if you are not in the mood because you are carrying his child then you should get a new significant other. Sex is better when both parties want it. Not when you have to do it because he is "your Man?" I think that no matter how you feel about sex it is normal and you should do what feels right to you.

I'm 30wks pregnant and I enjoy sex with my husband every-time we do it. If we're into a certain position that seems to trigger something uncomfortable for me, he gently switches up positions and really takes his time to make sure I'm comfortable and enjoying myself just as much as he is. I really thought I'd loose my sex drive b/c I'm getting bigger and at times I feel ugly/fat. But he enjoys every inch of body as if I didn't have a huge tummy. I'm truly blessed to have the man that I do!

I enjoy sex alot now... I feel more close to my significant other now than I ever have bofore. I want it all the time but I am afraid that he will think I am some kind of sex maniac. He is also younger than me and I feel uncomfortable to talk to him about some stuff because this pregnancy is sort of a surprise for both of us. And also I am feeling like he will find me un=attractive these days... What do I do ladies any advice

I'm about 29 weeks now and sex for me is very uncomfortable. It starts off great but once it really begins we have to change postions like twenty times and by the time I find a good postion im ready to go to sleep so i just let him finish. I'ts getting to the point were i don't even want to try any more. It really makes me sad:(

Where are the comments from women who have been restricted from sex and are having trouble with that? For whatever reason, I've wanted sex more than usual during this pregnancy, but at my last visit, I was told to stop. This is REALLY tough.

I'm 29 weeks and sex is basically void in our marriage if i can help it :) It's very uncomfortable and what i used to like, annoys me now. This is our fifth child so we are comfortable to either not have it or do other things....most times, i feel sorry for him and just "help" him out :)

I am 34 weeks pregnant. We definately don't do it as often now, but still often enough. In my first & second trimester we could not get enough of each other. He said that I was wearing him out, LOL. He loved it and never complained though. He was a champ.

I want to have sex all the time with my boyfriend but sometimes in missionary it hurts and other times it doesn't. So we lay on our side and do it that way but although it feels great I rarely orgasm that way. Another thing is he seems to be masturbating more and that bothers me cause hes taking my sex time away from me although i am very emotional it hurts me when I catch him in the act specially when he knows I want to do it or if he just asked I'd be more then willing.

Jessica, I am 15 weeks along, and I have had the same discomfort as you, soreness, burning, and a little irritability. My doctor told me that it could be Yeast Infection, and he said that the over-the-counter creams are 100% safe to use during pregnancy. I used Monistat 7 day treatment. I hope that helps;-)
