Pregnant: no to sex, but is it ok to masturbate?

Question

Hi, i hope you could help me. I'm very horny and can't have sex with my partner since my doctor told me that my 4 mons. baby's placement is low. 
But I was thinking if It's ok to do a light masturbating outside the vagina? Will orgasm affect my baby?
Hope there's someone out here that experienced this before and can help. Thanks!

Answer

Pelvic rest typically is no sex, and no masturbation.

Answer

Orgasm causes uterine contractions. I would check with your doctor, but they probably don't want you to.

Answer

I have been on pelvic rest since 18 weeks (currently 34) after having surgery for TTTS. My doctors told me that I could not do anything at all sexually. My case may be a little different, so you should probably clarify with your doctor before you do anything.

Answer

I'm on bed rest and can't have sex either. Masturbation causes uterine contractions, so it's out of the question. It sounds like you're in the same boat.

Answer

I’m almost 26 weeks and have been on pelvic rest since 6 weeks pregnant due to SCH and past pregnancies where my cervix started to shorten early ....OMG it is sooooo hard and dr said it will be this way till 37 weeks! 😬😳
