In general, there is no reason to interrupt your normal sex life. Many partners are concerned that having sex will hurt the baby, or that orgasms will start labor or cause bleeding. In a normal pregnancy, none of this is possible. The baby is well-protected by fluid, muscle, and bone and won’t be bothered one bit. However, if you have a history of miscarriages, pregnancy-related vaginal bleeding, or other complications, your doctor may recommend that you abstain from sex. The last four to six weeks of pregnancy might be too uncomfortable for you to have intercourse. Also, mood shifts and emotional changes during pregnancy may cause you to lose interest in sex. If this happens to you, be sure to discuss your feelings with your partner.
