Question 6

when is your body ready for sex after pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

6 weeks: Resumption of sexual activities after pregnancy is typically advised after 6 weeks of recovery time, whether its a vaginal or cesarean delivery.  If you had an episiotomy or vaginal laceration, it may extend your convalescence period.  Whenever you do resume sexual activities, it is best to take things slowly and listen to your body, using lubricants and foreplay liberally to ease any discomfort.

Depends: The probability of conception with semen being deposited at the vaginal entrance is low but possible. Safe sex is the best way to go.

Question 9

women doing sex with herself can lead to a pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No, masturbation: Does not cause pregnancy. There must be sperm from a male to become pregnant.

Question 10

is it normal for sex to make me sick during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: I have not heard this complaint before.  I would guess that the pressure of the uterus along with pressure from having sex is causing your stomach to get squeezed and that this may make you feel sick.  Try another position, like with you one your side.
