One of the biggest questions asked during pregnancy is: “Can I have sex?”

The answer is usually yes. As long as you are having a healthy pregnancy, sex will be safe. If you have had bleeding or other complications, it is important to check with your healthcare provider before doing so. Don’t worry, the baby is protected very well in the amniotic sac. It will cushion the activity for him or her. One thing to keep in mind is to not have your partner penetrate too deeply, as this could irritate your cervix. Otherwise, have fun!

Physical Changes Bring Pleasure or Pain

The changes in the sexual organs that accompany pregnancy can lead to one woman’s pleasure and another woman’s pain. The same hormones that prepare your body to birth and nourish your baby also change the way your body experiences sex. During pregnancy, your breasts become increasingly full and your nipples become larger and more sensitive; during lovemaking blood flow to your breasts increases even more. While your more voluptuous look may be a turn-on for your mate, heightened breast sensitivity can be either irritating or stimulating for you, depending on where you are in your pregnancy.
