 Topic: Sex during pregnancy...
Posted: 01 June 2006 at 4:18pm |
|
I've heard and read that its ok and that to have sex during pregnancy- but... are there only certain positions you can do it? So it doesnt harm or annoy the baby? See I have no idea.
I put it off after finding out I was pregnant but also- I didn't know you could still have sex during the pregnancy until my DAD (of all people) told me.
The convo started by talking about circumsising with my step mum- and here comes the old big head who apparently knows it all since he has 6 kids- and says its alright to have sex during pregnancy haha and we weren't even talking about it. I wonder sometimes- are we really related??? Haha. But thanks dad- made me all embarrassed haha.

Yes, Stevie, it is alright to have sex during pregnancy! It will not harm the baby at all, as the "plug" that keeps your baby's amiotic (sp?) fluid in will keep everything else out.
As far as positions go, go with whatever is comfortable for you and your partner! He may need to hold his weight up on his arms so that you can breathe easily though. You may find that you cannot lie on your back for long enough, or your tummy may be in the way so try other positions then... Woman on Top or Spooning work well.
You may find that sometimes that when you orgasm your tummy goes rock hard, and/or Baby sticks something out your side... part of the female orgasm is that all the stomach muscles contract and tighten up. Baby is just showing their displeasure at being squeezed! but it doesn't hurt them at all.
In the last stages of pregnancy, semen can bring on active labour by softening the cervix, but only if the cervix is already starting to soften.

yeh i ve been told it is fine also. Just all about comfort for you.
I avoided it also but tried in first few months of pregnancy but it was sooo uncomfortable for me during and afterwards. Now Its back to normal. Yay!!! Different for everyone though I guess. I do think though about poor bubs being shaken around in there. lol.

Sex in pregnancy is definitely OK, but definitely about your comfort over everything else ! Sideways isn't too bad if you can manage, from behind is good too but you might need pillows to prop you up - I do this as well as hang on to the headboard *ahem* Sorry if that was TMI  Don't forget that you get a whole lot of endorphins floating around in your system once you have orgasmed, so even if bub packs a tanty at being jiggled around a bit, they will soon relax along with you

LOL Jax - people usually pay 0900 numbers to get that kind of mental picture.
But yes, some women even have increased orgasms during pregnancy due to the extra blood flow and activity around the nether-regions (not Holland, I mean your girly bits that you probably can't see without the aid of a couple of strategically placed mirrors). Then, when you near the end of your pregnancy, there is added motivation to have sex with your men-partners - sperm and ejaculate can help to bring on labour. Lucky boys for that week!

*chortle* Sorry ladies, will pull the reins a bit tighter next time
I do have to say I haven't tried woman on top though, purely because I figure it might be a bit uncomfortable for the 'girls' without support (and who wants to shag with a bra on !?)... *ahem* ANYWAY...

*bigger chortle* - sorry Paws, this is going to make it even worse for you next time you see Rols, however; you could always get support for the girls with his free hand/s - unless they were holding on somewhere else....

Would they reach up that far though? Would think that the bump would get in the way if they were to be positioned close enough...
Edited to add: VERY good point Becca  That way his hands could be helping me keep balance instead, just in case 
And naughty? This isn't even close *evil giggle*
