Most people wonder if it is safe to have sex while pregnant. The simple answer is: yes! But always consult your doctor first if you've got some worries and concerns. Here are the most common questions everyone has on their mind:

1. Is sex safe when you’re pregnant?


Sex during pregnancy is “extremely safe” for most women with normal, low-risk pregnancies.


2. Can a pregnant woman get pregnant again?


Absolutely not.

3. Is it safe to masturbate when pregnant?


In a normal and low-risk pregnancy masturbation is perfectly safe. Wash all your sex toys before using them to avoid infections.

4. Is it normal to be super horny when pregnant?


It is perfectly normal because of hormonal changes during pregnancy, Many women experience a dramatic increase in their sex drive.

5. Can a man’s penis hit the baby in the head?


There is no way for a penis to hit the baby in the head or anywhere else. The baby is protected by the rigid cervix, uterus and amniotic fluid and the penis is not angled at the baby but below it.

6. Is it normal to not be interested in sex?


Extremely normal. From exhaustion to hormonal changes and concerns of body image, there are reaosns why women may not be that interested in sex.

7. What about rough sex?


Not advisable. Because it may damage the vagina or cervix.

8. Is anal sex OK?


When women get pregnant, hemorrhoids and constipation are common. So going in the back door may not be something women will be interested in. But, anal sex itself is probably safe so long as you never go from anal to vaginal sex without cleaning up first. Infection could endanger the pregnancy. Better give this one a skip.

9. Can pregnant women receive oral sex?


It is safe if a partner is free of STDs. Also, the "giver" should never blow air into the vagina. If they did there’s the chance it could cause an air embolism, which could “travel to the lung and have potentially fatal consequences.”

10. Will it taste different?


The taste and smell will be different during pregnancy because of hormonal changes.

The baby may be lightly jostled but that also happens when you climb up the stairs. Don't worry. The baby doesn't know what's going on outside.

12. Do pregnant women need to use protection?


No protection required if your partner is STD free. But if you aren't sure, better be on the safer side as infections are harmful to the pregnancy.

13. Can sex start labor?

14. When is the best time to have sex during a pregnancy?


Most women feel up for it during the second trimester because they are experiencing less fatigue and morning sickness.

15. What’s the best position for sex?


Missionary can be uncomfortable and dangerous late in a pregnancy. Try "spooning", or "woman on top". It allows the woman to control the speed and depth of penetration and it works well.
