You should never use anything that's oil based as lube..only water based..oil stays in you and causes infections

Using anything as a lubricant that isn't all natural, or labled safe for pregnant women should be avoided. Also, vasoline, baby oil, and other petrolium products can cause your internal pH to become unbalanced leaving you at risk of infection whether pregnant or not. Avoid anything that isn't designed as a sexual lubricant whether pregnant or not or go all natural.

okay the whole condom thing is not true my doctor confirmed that. it's safe to have sex w/o condom through out your entire pregnancy and the sperm wont affect the baby. nobody had problems with that before condoms were invented. having sex can cause u to go into labor but only if your body is already ready to go into labor. That's a myth

Also, unless you are at least at 35 weeks you should be using a condom because a chemical in men's sperm can make you start to dilate....and vasoline will make condoms break.  Seriously, try the KY "his and hers"

Organic coconut oil works amazing and it smells and tastes fantastic.

The other problem is that it is not clean if you have the kind that comes in a pot that you dip your fingers in over and over again.  Try KY Jelly.

Vasoline is never good to use as a lube,  pregnant or not.  It's a petroleum product and so it breaks down mucous membranes.
