okay pregnant

Is it okay for me to "get it on" with my husband when I am due in less than week? I do not want to hurt my child or have any problems what will happen?

Re: okay pregnant

  • If you haven't been told to avoid sex by your doctor, you should be fine to have sex with your H. If you are really concerned, call your ob/gyn.
  • I've heard that if you are close to your due date that sex can induce labor. Don't know from personal experience though, just what I've heard.

  • It is completely ok to have sex unless your doctor has you on restrictions. Sex will help induce labor only if your body is ready to go into labor and you won't hurt the baby. Enjoy!!

  • Do you seriously think that sex is going to hurt your child????

    Ditto what the others have said! 

  • Don't have sex! The baby will get hit in the face with your H's dingdong!!
  • You better be careful if you are having a girl though.. she might get pregnant.


  • DS has a huge dent in the back of his head from DH's peen.  I thought for sure it would have gone away by now, but I guess not!!  I hope its not permanent!!

    But if she is currently pregnant with a baby girl, and that baby gets pregnant with another girl, wouldn't there be a never ending loop of pregnant babies?

    You will give birth to a live goat if you have sex before your due date. The baby does not live in your vagina. It lives in your uterus. The penis goes in the vagina... not the uterus.

    This.

    Sex is completely natural and safe during your pregnancy. Unsure? Call your OBGYN.

    Induce labor, no. Soften the cervix, yes. Otherwise, you would be advised not to have sex while you're pregnant at all.

    technically a nice orgasm makes the uterus contract so yeah, if her body is ready it can induce labor.

    If you google it, you will see that it's the truth.

    sex before your due date= live goat birth. It's pretty common actually.

    Sex to Induce Labor

    Semen contains prostaglandins. Prostaglandins cause the cervix to "ripen", or soften and prepare to open. While it is debatable whether there are enough prostaglandins in semen to have any real effect, it is not a terrible way to keep hope alive and while away the last weeks of your pregnancy. Another great side effect is the fact that orgasms produce oxytocin, the hormone that causes contractions. So, between the two, there is a pretty good case for the cure for pregnancy.

    Orgasm=/= not directly makes contractions start. It is, in fact, the hormones released. Never the actual physical contractions of the orgasm can cause labor to be induced. What you are saying is an OWT.
