Is it okay and safe to have sex during pregnancy?
Sex is a natural, normal part of pregnancy, only if you’re having a normal pregnancy. Penetration and intercourse’s movement won’t harm the baby, who is protected by your abdomen and the uterus’ muscular walls. Your baby is also cushioned by the amniotic sac’s fluid. The contractions of orgasm aren’t the same as labor contractions. Still, as a general safety precaution, some doctors advise avoiding sex in the final weeks of pregnancy, believing that hormones in semen called prostaglandins can stimulate contractions. One exception may be for women who are overdue and want to induce labor. Some doctors believe that prostaglandins in semen actually induce labor in a full-term or past-due pregnancy, since the gel used to ripen the cervix and induce labor also contains prostaglandins. But other doctors believe this semen/labor connection is only theoretical and that having sex doesn’t trigger labor.
Although it can be very uncomfortable. In the earlier stages of pregnancy, you don’t really notice the difference in your partner’s body. But as the child matures and the belly increases, everything is different. The vagina feels different. You’ll have trouble finding where to put your hands. My wife was more sensitive. You get nervous because the baby is there and will move around at times. Sex during pregnancy isn’t easy. It could take some getting used to for both parties. If you’re pregnant and want to have sex or want to have sex with someone who is, talk to your doctor.
