How do women feel about having sex while pregnant?

[Anonymous]

I have a friend who's wife is about 7 mos pregnant. He says she consistently wants to have sex, explaining that it relieves some of the pain she's experiencing during pregnancy. He said he was having sex with her almost every day during the first 3-4 months, but now, he feels uncomfortable having sex since the baby is kicking, etc...He's asking me how to explain to his wife that he'd rather wait until after she's had the baby, but I don't want to give him bad advice. I told him he better get it while he can, because once the baby gets here, sex sometimes can become obsolete. Any advice? Ladies...how do you feel about having sex while pregnant? Is it painful for you? Do pregnant women only want to have consistent sex because of insecurities as a result of weight gain, etc?

Every girl is different. Before my pregnancy I had never went more than 2-3 days without having sex. While I was pregnant I was able to control myself and go 1 week to 2 weeks without sex. My sex drive dropped although I was still horny as hell. I didn't feel comfortable with myself and didn't feel as attractive which is one of the reasons why I didn't have sex as much. I wanted my man to want me...but he always seemed afraid that he would cause me to go into labor. Sex while pregnant can be a bit awkward if your partner keeps thinking those things. But yeah, sex was great and more intense. I actually felt him more down there than I ever did. Plus it was fun he came in me sooo many times and we didn't have to worry a bit.

well pregnancy made my sex drive go way up!

tell ur friend sex is healthy during pregnancy unless the doctor says otherwise.. like if there's something wrong with her cervix.. but other then that it can't hurt the baby :D you just have to work around the belly.. have her on top or something! sex does relieve pain and stress, and it don't hurt at all unless he hits my cervix really hard.. but sometimes afterwards it feels like there's a lot of pressure and cramping the doctor said that's normal tho lolz

if he's worried than just have him talk to her, but sex is safe during pregnancy unless the doctor says no

it can't hurt the baby, there's all that fluid in there that protects the it

For some women, they like to have sex during pregnancy or at least wouldn't mind it. But for me, I would prefer not to.

Depends on the woman and how her pregnancy is going. Many have increased sex drives due to both the flood of hormones and also from the sense of fertility form being pregnant. Others who get sick and are exhausted may not want it at all. Best thing her man can do for her is do whatever she wants, whenever she wants it when she is pregnant! ;) Typically there are no medical reasons why sex needs to stop, but she should consult her doc.

Never been pregnant but probably will not do it when I am. I would feel bad poking at the poor thing lol. Although I know it is actually safe usually and can be good for her but still I would feel weird.

Your baby is actually in a protective sac so it won't feel any pokes.

I know it is actually ok to do that's why I said I know it is safe but a part of me can't help but feel weird about it lol
