Can we have intercourse during 9th month pregnancy?

Question

We are in our ninth month now, and my husband and I are wondering about intimacy. Is it generally considered safe to have intercourse during the last month of pregnancy? We want to make sure it won't harm the baby.

It is mostly safe, but since you are in your 9th month, your energy might be low. Just make sure you eat light, nutritious meals to keep your strength up, and check with your doctor first if you have any issues like high BP or sugar complications before going ahead.

Yes, it's safe if your doctor hasn't told you otherwise. Just make sure you are comfortable and avoid putting weight on your stomach.

Haha, with my twin belly in the 9th month, physical intimacy was the last thing on my mind because I felt like a giant balloon! But yes, if you only have one baby and no complications, it is totally safe. Just find a comfortable position and don't overdo it!

Yami Mehta · Answer

I totally understand how you feel, intimacy can be a beautiful way to connect with your husband before the baby arrives. Just be very gentle, listen to your body, and always check with your sweet doctor first to make sure everything is completely safe for your little one.

I honestly preferred cuddling and eating ice cream in my 9th month, lol! But yes, physically it is safe unless your doctor has specifically asked you to avoid it due to some complications. Just check with your gynac once during your weekly checkup.

Yes, it is generally absolutely fine to have sex in the 9th month, as long as your pregnancy is uncomplicated. In fact, many say it can help with natural labor! But please ensure your gynac has not put you on pelvic rest or mentioned any complications like a low-lying placenta.
