Is Sex During Pregnancy Practical?
88
Well sex during pregnancy is perfectly safe. He is not going to poke the baby in the head or damage it but is it practical?
Sex during the first trimester seems practical enough if you are not throwing up or having hormonal mood swings and if your not sleeping. Actually in the first trimester, having sex with your partner is a very good an healthy way to stay intimate and close and share in the experience of being soon to be parents.
Plus, some women do experience sexual overdrive do to the extra hormones as well as insecurities about the second and third trimester woes of becoming larger, the fears of "life being over" as in no more parties or going to mall alone etc... sex during pregnancy is safe unless otherwise told to you by a doctor due to a pregnancy complication that it is not safe.

Sex in the second trimester.
Second trimester intercourse seems to be the best time to have sex. During the second trimester your hormones seem to balance out, in that you aren't as tired. Trips to the doctor lessen and for the most part you have gotten into a routine, are prolly out getting more exercise and feeling pretty darn good.
Your appetite is probably starting to pick up and some positions might feel a bit uncomfortable but don't worry. You cannot squash the kid or poke it in the head or anything like that. Actually during the second trimester and into the third the "feelings" seem more intense or orgasmic. However for some woman, the thought of having intercourse with a child in the belly turns them off, for the rest of us who can get pasted knowing that the child is not going to remember you and your partner getting it on. It is an amazing experience.
Plus there are some changes occurring down in the under region of the woman that men rather enjoy thanks to Kegal exercises. And while some men may not say it... they become extremely attracted to their partners changing body because even for men; women being able to give life is an amazing thing.

Third trimester sex
Now we are getting into the, "may not be so practical" time to have sex during pregnancy. The beginning of the third trimester isn't so bad but after the seventh month of pregnancy, the belly really starts to grow... big!
Still having sex is not going to poke the baby in the head, so don't worry about it. However it might be a little tougher to actually do it unless of course you and your partner are okay with finding new positions.
It is probably not the most appealing time appearance wise. I mean, in the 8th month you probably haven't shaved your legs or kept your area trimmed and proper. Fatigue rears its head again and so do the worries about next months arrival. Your not likely to get a lot of sleep so doing it seems like a hassle though he might be thinking of it as a great challenge... how to mount her!
Having sex near the end of your pregnancy may not be practical but if you are creative enough it is certainly doable. Some couples will actually have sex during labor to help ease the pains of giving birth and to help open up the birth canal and or for the release of the bodies own natural Oxytocin for stronger contractions with the added benefit of orgasmic climaxing, bonding with your partner and bonding with your new born baby.
Again perfectly safe unless otherwise told to you by your doctor. Always check with your doctor first. Other than that, if you can find a way then do it!!!

Your welcome prasetio30. Thanks for reading and learning about sex during pregnancy. :D
Wow its nice story about sex and gives me knowledge about having intimate with your partner..nice hubs..
lol. It's nice to learn and still be human. :D
The sperm can also help start the labor process and is a much better method than being induced,
wow! You don't say. That I did not know. Good stuff, thanks. :D
Wow have I learned alot, the problem for me when I was pregnant was not during but afterward, the wait and for me if was quite painful. Although sex is healthy I agree it wont hurt the child, nor rough play but is is good for you, you just have to experiment with posistions for the belly just keeps getting bigger!~!
Great hub
dori
You mean after you already had the baby? If so, yeah I shared your pain. lol
Very good read, I must say. I didn't know some of these things.
*giggling* :D
Great hub - it can be a difficult topic for some pregnant women and the men that are living with them! Personally, I was sooooo sick there was no way I could even contemplate anything that would jiggle me about, lol. My poor husband was like a tightly wound spring for many months!
Your poor husband! ha ha. Did you tell him it was all his fault and all that prego talk? :D
It was an easy one for us - a little imagination, and we kept at it until 9 months and 6 days (-:
Holy Moly!
I have always found sex to be practical during pregnancy, as long as I wasn't in danger of pre-term labor. Women at risk for those possibilities should avoid intercourse and stimulation of the nipples at the last weeks of pregnancy for the fact you mentioned. Oxytocin is released from the brain when you are sexually stimulated...even if you aren't having orgasms. And that hormone promotes labor and contractions so if you do not want to go into labor because of health risks then its better to avoid it. Otherwise, sex is all good. I had it the night before I gave birth to my son and it was fine. But everyone's story is different. GOOD HUB!
Thank you for your input Pachua213, it is much appreciated. :D
Almost every respected doctor in the US has said that sex and pregnancy is no big deal. A lot of people agree that its better. The only obstacle is the woman feeling "in the mood." When you feel fat, your throwing up, going through stress of buying clothes and cribs and baby items, working out the bills, its hard to even think about having sex.
Although I would make time b/c after you have your baby whatever sex you thought you were having cut it by 50%. Children are awesome but they are the kriptonite for sex. So enjoy it while you are pregnant. Make time for it b/c you both really aren't going to want to do it afterwords for a while.
This hub answers questions that every young expectant couple asks. Great hub and helpful too.
thats very helpful to new mothers. When ur pregnent you may have an urge to have sex. there is also positions you may want to use when your 7-8 months so check that out and you'll be able to stay sexualy acctive
Good tip. thanks. :D
Very nice information . I like to share it with my hubby
Do you know that some doctors would still advice the couple to have sex before giving birth? One of my doctor friend told me about this. How do you find it, guys?
Krisskross, I am going to assume you are a guy right? lol... that's all I got. too funny!
I LIKE IF
hiiiiiiiiiiii
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I am sorry, but sex is NEVER practical!!If it is, your doing something wrong!! :) Really, tho, my hubby found me attractive for the whole 9 months, my problem was I did NOT feel sexy. I mean, once I was 170 pounds in August...ugh..but I figuured it would be a long recovery time so I better get it while I could. There really is a lot to be said for the stress of being pregnant on a relationship, thinking about how things will change and all that, and there is a great deal of emotional benefit to remaining intimate with your partner during pregnancy.
Funny girl! It's never practical. ROTFLMAO. :D Misha was right, I do like you.
hello sandra how r you .your r pregdent women, pls you see me your picture ok pls
Um, no but I plan on having another one next year. No pics though, sorry. :D
y do u comment after every person?
Why do your care?
huh! i love this, thanks.
u pln kids next year? good 4 u!! HAHAHAHAHAH I like you 2....
All natural and ALL GOOD !!! I was sexually active throughout both of my pregnacies. Delivered two very healthy and normal boys...
That's wonderful Sylvia. :D
good to have lovely sex
Interesting information but I like to add that position is indeed very important in a way that the wife should always be on top or assume spoon position and the husband should never mount on top of her.
SURE, TELL THAT TO MY HUBBY WHO WAS SO FREAKED OUT ABOUT HURTING THE BABY THAT HE WOULDN'T COME NEAR ME ONCE I WAS REALLY SHOWING ALOT
Sandra, this is a great hub. I asked a close friend of mine (who happens to be an ob-gyne) if you can have sex during pregnancy. Her answer was short but sweet - Why not? LOL didn't ask her again, her reply said it all.
hi sex girls
good to know that,congratulation - nice job
nice work. Thanks for sharing.
interesting stuff i cant believe how much i learned
Wow, awesome hub. I just had two babies that are 11 months apart, my youngest is going to be 5 months at the end of this month. We had sex both times up until I went to the Hospital. I never understood the afterwards part cause after 4 weeks and my drs ok, we were good to go lol. Thanks for the hub. Although, to one of your readers that said the woman should be on top. I'd like to see them carrying a 6 pound baby and sitting on top. I could barely walk by 7 months along lol.
P.S. I love your comment back to tt.
Sperm also helps soften the woman's cervix, which will help during the labor process.
sex is natural phenomenon so definately harmless but during LABOUR!! benefitiary but the kid will swim through sperm his possible bros n sis
atif- all I can do is lol. :D
Just noted the ad at the bottom of the page, "how to get pregnant." OMG- so much funny stuff on the net.
great advice. great hub
superb..........
An interesting article one doesn't read much about anywhere.
Never really thought about it.
I didn't think it would be safe close to term of the pregnancy though even though one doctor said it is ok?
Thank you for the information.
J.
I knew that sex was safe during pregnancy, but during the labor sounds crazy! I'm still trying to figure out when exactly they do it... during the earlier contractions, maybe?
I don't think my wife will be interested in sex during the labor, I'm afraid, but I'll have to cross that bridge when I get to it, lol.
I like your hub. 555+
Thank.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
its not nice and it may be dangerous for small childred
its really horrible to take sex in prgnacy
My wife's obgyn always said it was ok as long as my wife was comfortable.
Sex during pregnency is possible by all means. In fact sex is a must for all pregnant woman. unless one is having abnormal condition during pregnancy every one can sex with open mind. Some accrobats normally done during honey moon should be avoided. as the days progress less and less pressure should be applied on the belly. You have different convenient poses which facilitates the sex and in broader sence we can call it harmless sex. Dear pregnent lads don't stop sex.
sooo dangers
can u recomend a safe position
Great advice, this was very informative. Sometimes women have a hard time getting in the mood, some foods can help give you a healty kick...see my link for more info. great hub I willpass it on.
wow... hope even i will write a hub one day which attracts these many comments.....watch out
quick
sooo dangers
I've been surfing the first 20 pages of "Best" hubs. This one was one of the few I even bothered to stop at; believe it or not.
I don't think I had a lot of "normal" sex during the pregnancy of my ex-wife or baby-momma. Then again, while I have plenty of sex . . . it's rarely what ANYone would consider "normal"!
it is great source of knowledge and fun
As I recall, since it was about 29 or so years since I was pregnant...it might not be practical - but it's still fun and so worthwhile!
We had sex till the next morning when the Baby was delivered.
The position should be side-wise and entry from behind. This position under a blanket is best hidden even when the room is crowded.
Dad went recently and the pregnancy of his wife, we sometimes ... but it was kind of embarrassing ,.... the genuine love is better I think!
Regards
Japublicidade
I always wondered about sex during pregnancy, and my partner is more scared about doing it than I am. If I'm lying in any position that seem to him to be harmful, its like he's going to have a heart attack. Am I crazy??
definitely.....its an interesting topic to discuss...seems i want more ideas !
Woman when the mother, I think that it is sweet.
graet knowledge for couples
Great hub on the practicality of sex during pregnancy. Very good information here.
One of my friend was so hungry for a child after she had a miscarriage of twin baby. Again she conceived. But the couple abstained from having sex. I tried to understand them that having sex in pregnancies is no harmful but I failed. Anyway, now she's got a male child last month. If I found your hub before I must let them see it.
Men have their needs - women do to. I think that the whole pregger fetish is weird, I don't know if I would want to once she gets really big.
Did not know about this.. thanks for sharing this info. great hub!
This hub is very useful for pregnant ladies :) one of friend was worried about sex during pregnancy, will ask her to read this hub.. will be helpful for her.. thanks
This was a most informative and beautiful hub. I lost my baby at 5 mths gestation. I was so looking forward to being a mother, it was all I ever wanted. It is nice to know that pregnant woman can still enjoy the most wonderful and natural thing that a man and woman can share and not be frightened that it may harm their unborn child.You have done a wonderful thing in presenting these facts in your hub and I am sure now that you have put any fear or doubts in their minds at rest. Well done. BB
interesting and positive knowlege
I am sorry for you loss beautybabe. I know I feared that. I hope you aren't going to give up on having a baby. I know it must be hard to let go after five months.
I had a good friend many years ago who lost her baby in the 9th month and she wasn't the same for a really long time. I know how it feels to bond during pregnancy and I know many people might not understand the attachment.
I wish, pray, and hope that you do get to be a mother soon.
I'll just say that IT IS practical and thoroughly enjoyable ;)
excellent hub
My children's father and I had intercourse during pregnancy with all 3 of our children. It made my labor easier and kept him happy. I advice all women in a relationship to have sex. Just be careful that it is not too rough.
sex during pregnancy is increase love as ever but positions during sex is important. Positions changes as the belly increases. Between nice hub on interesting topic.
it is good having sex during pregnancy but not much position you can have,actually it is good for the baby too,easy to deliver.I have tried it,but not much to touch in terms of body connection.I think anybody who had done it knows the reason why.Thanks for good topic you choose.
I AM RESPONSIBLE TO ANG
I tried it a few times. Seems great to me. Nice to know it was all safe.
Anyone need assistance? Ha...ha..!
Seriously though, thanks for the information.
ya...........
a very good hub.I enjoyed reading it and your good advice.I for sure will enjoy my nine months before baby comes.Thank you so much for posting this
