You certainly don't have to worry about birth control and in spite of your increasing size, it will be easier to get down to the business of having sex before your little one arrives.
Sex is perfectly safe during most pregnancies.
With a normal pregnancy, you can keep doing it right up until your water breaks. Make sure to check with your doctor or midwife first if you are having any problems with your pregnancy, such as placenta previa or bleeding, or if you have a history of miscarriages. Some women report that sex during pregnancy is the best they have ever had while for others it may not be so great. This heightened pleasure can probably be attributed to the increased blood flow to the pelvic area also known as engorgement of the genitals. If you find that sex has become particularly enjoyable during pregnancy it may be that you finally feel free from worries about conception and contraception, feeling sexier than ever.
