Dear G.P
Is it safe to have sex while I’m pregnant?
Yours
New Mom to be
When a woman becomes pregnant for the first time, it is natural for her and her partner to be concerned about the effect that making love will have on their unborn child.
Most women who are having a normal pregnancy may continue to have sex right up until their water breaks or they go into labor. You won’t hurt the baby by making love. Its is good for the baby too and infact at the end of pregnancy,sex may help induce labour.Here a few common questions or myths surrounding sex in pregnancy.
Myths
1.Having sex in the first trimester can cause miscarriage
FALSE: Most first trimester miscarriges are caused by chromosomal abnormalities.
2.Orgasm may affect the baby’s development
FALSE: Not only is it harmless,but it is known that an expectant moms orgasm has an effect almost like a jacuzzi-shaking up the amniotic fluid and bringing about a renewal of oxygen to the placenta which can only benefit baby.
3.Pregnant woman shouldn’t find sex pleasurable
FALSE:Making love was how you conceived- and if you feel fulfilled and happy,this can only benefit your baby
4.There are certain medical reasons why you can’t have sex
TRUE: You’ll be advised to restrict sex during the first trimester if you have a history of miscarriage,if your waters have broken;if you have placenta praevia(where the placenta is positioned near or over the cervix blocking babys exit,in instances of genital herpes or another sexually transmitted disease.
5.Deep penetration during sex can hurt baby
FALSE: Your unborn baby is well protected in the uterus inside the amniotic sac which acts as a protective bubble.Moreover a plug of mucus at the cervix neck seals it off from the vagina so that your unborn baby can’t be hurt or disturbed.
6. Vaginal bleeding can occur after sex
TRUE: Increased blood flow to the uterus makes the cervix much softer during pregnancy.As a result of this increased sensitivity ,deep penetration can cause bleeding.
Yaba Zambians please stick to your core purpose of the website which is news!Â
The best sex I ve ever had is when my wife is pregnant.I am sure many others will testify.#1 LT is a news site, so if you dont like certain news, dont read and dont comment.
Sata’s group look at them How can they contribute when their minds are obsessed with taking over from RB. They think running business is like a katemba business.
Let serious people have divergence views and contribution. Please those married enjoy sex with your partners. Play it safe, go for HIV tests and have health children. We need them to build our nation.Â
Avoid sex before marriage or use condom. Married life is enjoyable.
the best sex I had was when I was pregnant ..no wait a minute 2nd best.It perfectly fine.whatever God makes is always perfect.when i was 39weeks I went into labour immediately after having sex and was in labour for a record 3 hours only.Marriage is a wonderful institution.
but dear mumi labour ought to take at least 10-12hours in 1st times and lesser in 2-3-4 times and so on..but the trouble with fast birth in 1st tym pregnancy is trauma to the baby and the birth canal which has varing complications respectively…take this from a student of obstetrics…the cervix opens the size of 1finger diameter every 1hour during labour and the normal opening must be atleast 10cm or 10fingers..fast delivery can ocur at say 5finger open cervix which as u can understand is traumatic to both u and your baby..i dont know about the importance of sex during the last 2weeks of pregancy but if i were to give u any advice. is late the natural mechanism in ur body stimulate labour..
Ni pabwatooo this time around, pregnant sex or not….. love it or not.
This is important and educative. problem is the PF hooligans think this site was made for them to puke their useless nonsense and if they don’t see Sata or RB in a story they get confused. This is good move LT. You need to take the site back from polical cadres because there are other important things in life than PF and MMD.
Excellent article keep it up
my minister is sweet even if she is not pregnant. That’s why she is ever in my entourage.
Right up to till the water breaks ? Imwe this kind of advice resulted into Nurses insulting my wife ku labour when i took her to kalingalinga clinic.”Mwamuna wako niwa bwanji kansi iwe ? Naumona ifyo umwana ali nafyo.Nzelu kuipa” those words are still fresh in my mind like it happened yesterday.Nice article though.Keep up with the good work.
# 6 unless It is about you and your wife chikala
Guys who are married enjoy your wife its good making love to a wife not MMD kuyabele Pabwato 2011
I think the photo is pornographic! Who is peddling these photos? Is it Dora Siliya? Has she ever been pregnant? Or should I say, is she fertile enough to be pregnant?
sex wen ur wife is pregnant is so enjoyble.we used 2 do it 5 times in a day wit ma wife.oh u can neva walk alone
Bana mayo balomfwa bwino Uku.b.a.to.mba….nganabemita…hahahahaha…kanshi nichelamushuke….kulamukakafye inshita yonse…yangu wemanoneeeeeeee
Hahaaaa…..a breath of fresh air and laughter from the usual block-heads.
dear #4…mumi… labour ought to take at least 10-12hours in 1st times and lesser in 2-3-4 times and so on..but the trouble with fast birth in 1st tym pregnancy is trauma to the baby and the birth canal which has varing complications respectively…take this from a student of obstetrics…the cervix opens the size of 1finger diameter every 1hour during labour and the normal opening must be atleast 10cm or 10fingers..fast delivery can ocur at say 5finger open cervix which as u can understand is traumatic to both u and your baby..i dont know about the importance of sex during the last 2weeks of pregancy but if i were to give u any advice. is late the natural mechanism in ur body stimulate labour..
Be wise and enjoy sex responsibly. Careless sex is the cause of most of the headaches of this world. Street kids, Bola Bola syphilis, gonorea, HIV aids and of course the minimum 15 year jail sentences being slapped on men these days. And for what? 2. 3, 5 or thirty minutes of ………… A pregnant woman is warmer so may be that is what makes her tastier. Enjoying sex with your however, depends on a lot of things Wherther your wife is pregnant or not.
Haaaaaa my husband had travelled so when he came ala i had missed him so we had sex and just after five mins the water broke went to labour and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy though he was with sperms all over his head lol
No.17
Why not just use condoms if you dont want sperms on the baby head?
#15 those obstertric books you read were written by a man probably.Our bodies are all unique.I never believed it was possible but it happened to me.My baby was born with apgar score 9/10.and is healthy.My labour from start to finish was 3hrs. It was intense throughout though.My elder sister only took 4 hours in her labour too.please go rewrite those medical books.
for the education of our medical students.Sperm contain chemicals -I believe they are called prostaglandins that help induce labour.#17 its unlikely your baby had sperms on his head,that was the amniotic fluid and that white stuff they are coverd in I forget what its called.
This is a wrong forum for such a question. Please consult your midwife or gynaecologist. Bloggers on this site will just strip off your integrity.
no.20-21…i stand to be corrent…by 10hours i meant reference to the 1st period of labour..’the contractions’..the 2nd period is the expulsion of the fetus which i would think u r making reference to..this only lasts 1-2hours max and less in mothers tht have given birth before..note how ever tht ur case can be possible if u r one who has had 1 or 2children before..in such a case 4-7 is normal in the 1st period and less than 1hour for the expulsion of the baby..but then again u r the mother and you are right human bodies are all unique to some extent..thank God for tht healthy baby.. apgar score of 9/10 is the best a baby can have, as u knw 10/10 score in reality is nearly impossible..
Your marriage is in trouble when your wife says “you’re only interested in one thing” and you can’t remember what it is.
#3 na #6 you are the only ones mentioning Sata pliz? hahahaha
# 17 lol. The white stuff on a baby is not sperm. It’s vernix – a waterproof substance that protects the babies skin from the amniotic fluid.
