So I read somewhere that an orgasm can be harmful to your baby in some situations. Now I'm sure this is for women in their first trimester or who have high-risk pregnancies, but ever since I read that, I've been concerend about sex. I'm almost 20 weeks along, but my uterus is set way low, like right above my bikini line. Every time my fiance and I have sex, I can feel and see the uterus bulging out. It's kinds gross to see it move under my skin, and right when I'm about to climax, I feel the baby moving and it makes me worry. Afterwards, my uterus bulges out, but eventually it goes down to how it noramlly is. I was so concerned about having sex last night that I had to listen to the heart monitor first thing this morning. I know it's usually men who say they don't want to hurt the baby, but it's the exact opposite w/ my partner; he's ready and willing and all I can think about is the baby. Should I just "take a chill pill" or what? ↓

Orgasm are not usually harmful unless you are high risk, which I am assuming you are not therefore you should have nothing to worry about. Baby isn't aware of what your doing, enjoy it while you can because after the baby comes you'll be tired to even think about sex. LOL It is also normal for your uterus to contract after the big O, the same hormone makes your uterus contract during braxton hicks and labor. It use to freak me out too when the baby was active during sex, I just tried not to think about the baby, just my hubby. Sex during pregnancy was the best for me because it was the first time I was really "content in my skin", it was when I felt the most beautful. ↑
