Is it okay to have sex during pregnancy?
By: Goher Iqbal Punn, askMamu.com
There has been a misconception about having a sex during pregnancy as to whether it is okay to do so or not. Thus people often hesitate to intercourse during the pregnancy whereas the studies say that there is absolutely no harm in having sex with your partner who is pregnant. Pregnancy and sex can without any hesitation or hurdle go hand in hand.
Undoubtedly pregnancy appears to be the most beautiful phase of any woman’s life but that does not mean putting a lid on sexual desires. Having sex during pregnancy has been a big taboo. A new study held at the University of North Carolina Hill suggests that enjoying full sex could be beneficial for the pregnant women.
A survey was held in India where the pregnant women were asked the questions about the sex during their pregnancy days. One of the women told her story, saying, “During the first trimester we avoided having intercourse as it was a strict no no from my gynecologist. But yes, intimate the sensations seemed heightened, despite the initial, Oh my God, are we going to hurt the baby? Now in the second trimester, it’s becoming a little more awkward, especially now that I’m showing. We’ve had to adjust a little bit, position-wise, but the intimacy hasn’t changed.”
Change happens to be quite evident not only for physically but also emotionally during the days of pregnancy. The change also takes place in human’s beliefs. When the women are pregnant, they find themselves large and uncomfortable whereas on the other hand, men generally find the pregnant ladies’ bodies most erotic and desirable and want the pregnant figure with much lust.
The first three months of pregnancy are very delicate and doctors do not advise to have sex in this period. Intercourse and intimacy appear to be two different things. So doctors advise to be intimate but do not approve of having intercourse in this time frame. In addition to this, a man should understand the emotional changes of a woman, she undergoes. Inside her, the desire to be a mother seems very high. Besides, in these three months there appears an increase in vaginal lubrication also.
Another pregnant woman shared her feelings, “Due to some medical problem, my doctor advised me to abstain from intercourse. Even having an orgasm was banned at week 15. Now I am in my second trimester and I think the lack of sex has created a distance between me and my husband. I am afraid we won’t get the magic back when there’s a newborn baby in the house.”
It has been studied that the hormonal fluctuations in a woman during her pregnancy play an important role in her reactions to making love. In the first trimester, many women appear to be much exhausted in showing interest in sex whereas in the second trimester, the sense of delight arises inside her when the abdomen grows. And again in the third trimester, the desire for having sex goes diminish.
It is vital to understand that sex and sexuality are two different entities. And a woman can utter her sexuality even without going for the intercourse. Thus a married couple should choose to give each other sexual and sensual pleasures such as kissing, hugging and caressing so that the closeness could be alive between both of them.

Is it okay to have sex during pregnancy in first 3 months?
Hi Sharma,
As long as the pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like. Make sure that she is okay with it first and that she also wants it. As there may be hormonal inbalance and she sometimes want and sometimes not.
Many couples worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, especially in the first trimester. But sex isn’t a concern. Early miscarriages are usually related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems in the developing baby — not to anything you do or don’t do.
Your developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the mucous plug that blocks the cervix throughout most of the pregnancy. Sexual activity won’t affect the baby.
