You probably won’t have sex as often as you did before. The most common reason for that is a fear of hurting the baby. No need to worry about that at all if it’s a normal pregnancy. You can keep doing it right up until your water breaks. Check with your doctor or midwife first if you’re having any problems with your pregnancy, such as a shortened or dilated cervix, leaking amniotic fluid, placenta previa or bleeding, or if you have a history of miscarriages.

As long as your pregnancy is normal, you won’t hurt the baby by making love regardless of the position you choose. Your baby may notice something when you’re having an orgasm but it’s because of your heart pounding, not because he or she knows what’s happening or feels pain.

Your baby is surrounded by fluid, and protected by your uterus and a layer of muscles. The mucus plug inside your cervix helps guard against infection. In certain circumstances you may have to modify your activity or abstain from sex altogether for part or all of your pregnancy.
