Question 1

i have a low lying placenta, i am in my 19th week of pregnancy. is it okay to masturbate?

Accepted Answer

External: Masturbating is fine but avoiding inserting anything into the vagina with a low lying placenta.

Question 2

can masturbation that includes tightening inner thighs & pelvic muscles cause problems during 22 weeks pregnancy? can it compress the vena cava?

Accepted Answer

Conceivably: By increasing pelvic congestion. Talk to your gyn about all your symptoms as he or she may be able to further direct you.

Question 3

can masturbation that includes tightening inner thighs together & pelvic muscles cause problems during 22 weeks pregnancy? can it compress the vena cava?

Accepted Answer

In such situations: There are 4 venae cavae or vena cavas, 6 if having twins. Half are superior venae cavae and the other half are inferior (meaning lower, not worse). Fortunately, all are deep inside the body and not affected by masturbation... meaning the common forms of masturbation should not be able to cause noticeable compression of any of the venae cavae.

Question 4

5 weeks pregnant. endometriosis treated.also taking medicines for hypothyroidism. could masturbation harm early pregnancy? just stimulation.

Accepted Answer

No harm: Clitoral stimulation during early pregnancy will cause no harm.

Question 5

can masturbation in the form of squeezing thighs, legs and muscles cause problem during pregnancy? im 12 weeks pregnant.

Accepted Answer

Generally no problem: Sex is safe if done alone or with one's monogamous spouse, and if there are no sexually transmitted diseases nor any pregnancy complications (such as premature labor). As long as it is comfortable enough for each person, one can have sex throughout her pregnancy. Having intercourse and orgasms is fine as long as the pregnancy is going well. It is also important psychologically for both persons.

Question 6

could masturbation increase risk of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: Essentially all males and a majority of females enjoy their bodies by themselves after they have reached puberty. It isn't going to increase or decrease the likelihood of conception for either sex.

Question 7

if you masturbate during pregnancy, will your baby be affected in any way?

Accepted Answer

No but...: Make sure whatever aides you are using are clean!

Question 8

can you masturbate after a pregnancy related d&c?

Accepted Answer

The devil is in...: The devil is in the details, as the saying goes. "Can you" questions often have YES for an answer, because many things are possible in life. The details in this case would be:  how long after the D&amp;C (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year,...), and what actually happens during this particular masturbation (different women do many different masturbating activities, internal or external or combination).

Question 9

is it possible for fresh semen on the toilet seat from masturbation to cause a pregnancy(has it ever happened before)?

Accepted Answer

Technically possible: It is technically possible for fertilization to occur under these circumstances, but highly unlikely. I have no information on whether it ever has happened, but theoretically it can happen, would not be surprised if there was a case report on this somewhere...

Question 10

virgin&avoid any sex but i masturbate.any chance of pregnancy by touching something has sperm on without knowing then masturbate?just wanna make sure.

Accepted Answer

0% chance: There is a 0% chance of that happening in real life. Actually, it's even less likely than that, so make it a 0.0% chance.
