Hahaha. I have to laugh as I too have had an increased sexual drive for most of my pregnancy. I want to make love to hubby like all the time and also masturbate as it makes me feel better, gets my heart rate going and allows me to find some easy rest which we all lack during pregnancy at one time or another. I am 35 weeks and scared it will induce early labor as it is one of the things you are told to do if you are overdue.I don't think orgasm is a problem for either you or baby but a legitimate question non the less.

In general, orgasms are very good for you and baby! When you have an orgasm the baby is unaware of what you are doing, but does experience the euphoric hormone rush that you will experience. There will also be minor contractions of the uterus, as there have always been, but now that the uterus is bigger you can feel them more. This is not preterm labor, unless you have this cramping sensation or contractions for more than one hour.

Go ahead and enjoy yourself. you need to take care of you too in all ways (physically, mentally, sexually, etc)It is good for the both of you and you may not feel so much the same after baby is born so I say take what you can get and if it makes you feel better good for you. So glad someone asked a question that is hard for many to ask. it helps others feel more normal and not so weird or different. Great question.

As long as dr hasn't said no sex or pelvic rest than it's totally fine. You may have cramping after an orgasm but that's normal

Unless your doctor has said otherwise, there's nothing wrong with orgasming or sexual activity.
