For the vast majority of pregnant women, sex is perfectly safe during pregnancy. The baby cannot get hurt. The baby also can’t see what is happening, and won’t be traumatized. You’d be surprised how many people wonder about that! You may need to get more creative during love making as your belly grows, but besides that, sex during pregnancy can be enjoyable for both partners. Women get more blood flow in their privates during pregnancy, which can increase their sensitivity. Other couples may find sex during pregnancy is very freeing… they don’t need to worry about either avoiding pregnancy or trying to conceive, so they can just relax and enjoy it. Some of the issues that may preclude sex during pregnancy would be a broken bag of waters, an incompetent cervix (usually repaired with a cerclage stitch until late in pregnancy), premature labor symptoms, placenta previa (the placenta is covering the opening of the cervix), unexplained vaginal bleeding, cramping, sexually transmitted infections or an active herpes outbreak.
