Other forms of intimacy can be equally satisfying. As your pregnancy progresses and your abdomen becomes large, sex may become uncomfortable. During the last few months avoid excessive pressure on your abdomen. Also, deep penetration of your partner's penis may be painful. There are some conditions under which your doctor may advise you to limit or avoid sex during your pregnancy.
Many pregnant women feel some brief abdominal cramping after intercourse.
Contact your doctor if the cramping worsens or continues with rest one hour after intercourse. Bleeding may occur infrequently after intercourse. The bleeding should stop soon after you rest off your feet. If the bleeding does not stop, call your doctor. Call your doctor any time you think you have broken your bag of water.
