not supposed to have sex

I was watching television and a woman went to get her 1st ultrasound. The doctor told her you're not supposed to have alot of sex while pregnant. How true is that?

Sex is safe in the majority of pregnancies... my first pregnancy was fine and I had sex up until the day I went into labor (at least once a day)... my second pregnancy I was on pelvic rest for about 3 months of my pregnancy- I was spotting and had chronic UTI's so my doctor thought it was best to not have sex from week 26 through 36... then I was fine for a week and got another UTI

If you're talking about love and hip hop it's because she was spotting, that's only if your having complications

It's okay unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Don't pay the tv any mind.

Unless the dr finds any complications,  it's rather healthy for you and baby :) it helps with blood pressure,  burning calories, gets you in a good mood, and it can rock the baby to sleep :)

Guess it's a good thing that 90% of what you see on TV isn't true and 100% is misleading. Don't get your info from tv

Per Google baby center

Most women who are having a normal pregnancy may continue to have sex right up until their water breaks or they go into labor. You won't hurt the baby by making love. The amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus protect your baby, and the thick mucus plug that seals the cervix helps guard against infection.

And while orgasm may cause mild uterine contractions (as can nipple stimulation and the prostaglandins in semen), they are generally temporary and harmless.

There are some circumstances, though, in which you may need to modify your activity or abstain from sex altogether for part or all of your pregnancy. Your midwife or doctor should let you know whether you have – or develop – any complications that make sex a no-go. If you're uncertain, ask your practitioner.
