In a normal pregnancy there are no real medical limitations on having sex. If you have concerns, talk with your doctor. As pregnancy advances, the enlarged abdomen may pose some challenges for comfort, and different positions may need to be used. For suggestions, see Recommended Books , and talk with your doctor. For some women the cuddling part of sex is really important and may be absent from their lives if sexual intercourse isn't happening very often.
Some men are really fearful of hurting the baby.
All of these issues can be addressed if couples are talking with one another about their feelings, concerns and needs. As with most relationship issues, communication is a key to success. All rights reserved.
