A member asked:

Does having sex during pregnancy hurt the baby? as in the motion and positions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: It is usually not a problem for most couples to remain sexually active throughout pregnancy. Late in pregnancy, comfort may become an issue, and some positions may be more comfortable than others. Some women with complications, such as placenta previa or preterm labor, should not have intercourse during pregnancy.

Dr Higginbotham and 2 doctors agreed
