Sexual HealthPregnancy and sexMany women and couples worry that sexual activity may somehow harm the baby or harm the mother. In healthy pregnancies, there is nothing to worry about except oral sex that includes blowing into the vagina. Forcing air into the vagina during pregnancy may cause a rare but potentially deadly air embolism.Later in pregnancy, it may be obvious that positions need to be adjusted for comfort during intercourse. The pregnant woman should not have the weight of another adult against her growing belly. This type of pressure should be avoided. The woman on top position or side by side may be more comfortable during pregnancy. Your own comfort is usually a good guide for sex during pregnancy.
