Hey everyone, it's been a lil while since i've been on here. Been busy working, and going to appointments and what not. I have a question, does anyone know if having sex is bad for the baby? Because my mom is trying to tell me it is, and that I could get all these disease and stuff. I don't know if she's just saying it's bad, or if it's true.

Sex isn't bad for the baby as long as it is with someone who is mostly likely the father but if not then someone who has no stds. I would see no problem with it unless your doctor told you not to.

Thanks gurl. Yeah it's with the father, we've been together almost 2 yrs now. My doctor hasn't told me not too, the only person who really has is my mom. Thanks for answering.

As long as the doctor gives it the okay, then sex is fine :)

Unless your water has broken, or you have a cervical cerclage in, then theres no reason not to have sex.

Sex is fine unless your doctor sees a risk... The only reason you woudl get an infection would be if your water had broken or something, and thats something I think you'd notice hehe

:) thanks guys. That helps, cuz I wasn't sure what to belive from my mom. She says a lot of things that aren't true sometimes.
