How to Enjoy Sex during Pregnancy

November 5, 2007 by Victor Rodrigues 4 Comments

Sure, sex before pregnancy used to be a wild affair because all you could damage was the nightstand lamp during the most raging romp. However, pregnancy introduces other considerations. Once you have taken the required precautions, pregnancy sex can be equally enjoyable.

Questions that bother lovemaking couples during pregnancy are:

Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, unless your spouse’s doctor tells you otherwise, sexual intercourse is safe throughout the pregnancy. Click “Pregnancy Basics – Is it Safe to have Sex?” to learn more.

Can vigorous copulation damage the baby?

The amniotic fluid in the uterus and the mucous membrane in the cervix protect the baby. Therefore, even a larger penis cannot hurt the baby. However, if you put your weight on the mother’s stomach, in a missionary position, you can cause her discomfort.

How often can we have sex without danger?

You can have sex as often as you want. Of course, the mother may not welcome sexual intercourse during the first trimester due to morning sickness and other unwelcome pregnancy symptoms. However, you could have enjoyable sex after the fourth month to even the more advanced stages of pregnancy.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
