sex is dangerous!!!

so when my bf gets back from boot camp ill be 29 weeks. I've seen so many posts of women who experience bleeding and cramping after sex . why is sex even recommended if there's a chance you could go into preterm labor? I mean I really want intimacy with my bf but why put myself at risk??

Sex is completely fine during pregnancy.  Really it only helps jump labor when you are actually ready to deliver

Sex is fine and healthy during pregnancy. If it wasn't doctors wouldn't recommend it at all. I'm 29weeks and my bf and I have sex when I'm up for it. My drive is almost totally gone but when it's up I'm all for it. Sex isn't supposed too scare us. Just take it easy and slow. No rough crazy sex and you'll be fine.

And your partner cannot hurt the baby no matter the size of his "YOU KNOW". He also cannot hurt the baby if he lays on you. You will know if you or baby are uncomfy if you need to move to a new position.

Sex is completely safe unless doctor says other wise. And you shouldn't have rough sex. But sex is healthy during pregnancy. It is normal to spot after sex and isn't anything to worry about. And the cramping is because when you orgasm you contract so it's super normal. It's even recommend towards the end of your pregnancy to have sex and to have baby daddy finish in you to help your cervix. Sex isn't putting you at risk unless you are already high risk and shouldn't be having it.

What im wondering is, does the size of your partner matter? Can they hurt the baby?

Sex is safe during pregnancy just limit rough sex where you could cause bleeding. Some women cramp after orgasms and that isn't fun either.  Just take it slow.
