sex during pregnancy

[graceee]

Hello, I'm quite a new member here!

Actually I've just registered and curious in one question.

I have heard different things when women is pregnant and their hormones goes crazy like.

My questions is: Do women get really horny during pregnancy? and Do they crave a lot of sex during that time? Is it safe to have sex bing pregnant?

Yes it's safe and I would say every woman/couple is different. You do what you want or don't want to do

Welcome gracee, it's a great community so you'll always fund support here.

As for you question, recently I was also interested in this thing. Sorry for intimate details but during the last month my sex drive is extremely high. I can't help wanting my husband and it makes me go crazy. I discussed it here and I was told it's ok to have sex during pregnancy, although not every woman actually want to have sex at this time. To tell you the truth feelings are a bit different, I became more sensitive and I love it. Your baby is quite safe during sex, don't be afraid of this. however, if you have multiples you'd better avoid sex after 20th week, or do it more careful.

have fun dear x

thank you for the reply. I asked this question because I'm worrying about my babies, yes, I will be a mother of twins in a couple of months. Furthermore, my pregnancy was quite difficult task to achieve. DDue to my health condition I had to apply for an egg donation as my previous attempts ended up with miscarriages. that's why a fear doesn't live me. I don't want to hurt my babies and I don't want to lose them again.

frankly, I feel horny every minute and I really want get physical with my partner, just the fear stops me.. on other forum I was advised to ask my doctor, haha, I can't discuss such kind of things with a man.

so sweet two little beanis. don't worry, you won't harm your baby. I've just read that if you had miscarriages, you just need to avoid dates of possible periods (4,8,12,16...weeks of gestation). pay attention on your feelings and if something is wrong, ring your gp. be careful and you'll be ok xx

it's my 17th week, today I will get my screening results

I was asked for it because I'm afraid my babies will have any genetic abnormalities. I have already called the clinic, they told the results are going to be in 2,5 hours.

Hello, girls! Just want to join your discussion. I found the useful information about this topic. As doctors say, a baby isn't hurt when a pregnant woman and her partner make love. The amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus protect the baby, and the thick mucus plug that seals the cervix helps guard against infection. During intercourse, the penis doesn't go beyond the vagina, so it won't reach the baby. So women continue to have sex right up until their water breaks....Sounds soothingly, right? but at the psychological level I have this fear to harm a baby and can't relax myself. For now we decided to wait till the birth. There are only 6 weeks left...

oh wow, so useful information!!!!!

you are right, from the biological point it is safe to have sex with the partner during the pregnancy. But from other side, I can't accept this , I know it's wrong and probably I'm going crazy but I really don't want to hurt my babies.

A week ago we got screening, there no worries about, babies are developing and it seems everything is fine.

p.s. once I read Male semen contains a large supply of nutrients that enter the body of a woman after sex;

Sex helps to train the muscles that help women move well generic activities.

But if you have miscarriage before it is dangerous to have sex.
