    Is it safe to have sex being pregnant?

    I am 5 weeks pregnant, I wanted to know if it's ok to have sex.
    I have not gotten the chance to ask my doctor yet. thanks

    Welcome to the forum, nadira.

    The short answer to your question is "yes", it's ok to have sex during pregnancy, but don't be discouraged from asking your doctor. There are no doubt some high-risk pregnancies where it's a poor idea.

        Yes Nadira my wife had 4 kids and each one we had sex within 2 to 3 weeks of her giving birth. You can't have missionary sex in the later months for obvious reasons lol but doggy along with spooning position works really good while being pregnant. So congrats on the pregnancy and enjoy the fun of continue pleasure with sex while you are pregnant.
        When out driving always turn left. Then, should you become lost, you can find your way home by reversing the procedure and always turning right.
