Sex During Pregnancy
Hjsuen
Asks:
Should I have sex when I am pregnant?
Lee's Thoughts:
Yes, yes, YESSSSSSSS. Assuming that you are not in a high-risk category for miscarriage or pre-term labor, sex while you're pregnant (or any other time) has TONS of benefits for your body, mind, soul, and marriage. You will make sure your husband knows that you are still attracted to him and that he is as important (if not more so) as the little bundle of joy you are carrying. Men have a tendency to feel very helpless once their job at conception is done. The pregnancy is completely up to you and they never have and never will completely comprehend what you are going through. Sex will help him feel like a man and will let him know that he is loved.
As for you...you are going through all kinds of mental, emotional, and physical adventures. You can probably use a little fun! Orgasms relax your muscles and release endorphins that will calm your mind. The blood pumping will help to soothe any aches and pains you may feel and the closeness to your husband will enrich your spirit and remind you why you are going through nine months of craziness in the first place.
Sex is goodgoodgood for you during pregnancy. Medical evidence shows that the baby is well protected in its little womb and won't be harmed. Couples can have sex well into the ninth month of pregnancy if the mommy is up to it. I think that doggie style is the preferred position to accommodate the big 'ole belly of baby.
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, so here are two specific types of sexual behavior that are NOT safe for ANY pregnant woman:
1) If you engage in oral sex, your partner should not blow air into your vagina. Blowing air can cause an air embolism (a blockage of a blood vessel by an air bubble), which can be potentially fatal for mother and child.

2) You should not have sex with a partner whose sexual history is unknown to you or who may have a sexually transmitted disease, such as herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, or HIV. If you become infected, the disease may be transmitted to your baby, with potentially dangerous consequences.

And might I just add...the hormones while pregnant, especially during the first trimester....whoa! I mean, whoa! Need I say more?
No, Stacy...I don't think we get your meaning. Can you elaborate for all the non-moms out here? Hormones? Details would be good.
The hormones make you...um...extremely horny. And make everything feel soooo much better. Whew...just thinking back to then...Hmmm...is my husband home now?? =)Is that enough detail without getting raunchy?
