Can we still have unprotected sex (with ejaculation) while pregnant?

Question

I know male ejaculate can soften the cervix and therefore can help late in pregnancy to induce... but should that be something I worry about now? I really feel like my baby stays super low I'm 21 weeks and havent felt movement above my belly button...  and I'm not really showing at all... would it still be okay? I will ask my midwife at our next appointment but that's in 2 weeks. No one has checked my cervix this entire pregnancy OBGYN or midwife...

Answer

Semen won’t soften the cervix for dilation and labor until the rest of your body is already beginning that process. It won’t do anything right now.

Answer

I’m pregnant with my third, it’s perfectly safe unless the doctor/midwife says otherwise. With this pregnancy I was diagnosed with placenta previa and told to refrain from sex until/ if it moves.

Answer

Unless your doctor says not to it’s fine

Answer

I’m on my third baby. My husband has always cum in me while pregnant. My son came 3 days after his due date and my second we induced 5 days early. It didn’t cause any issues with my cervix.

Answer

I think it’s pretty normal to not get cervical checks until 36w unless you’ve had bleeding or something to be concerned about.

Answer

Yes. But I dont because I’m paranoid and dont want anything touching my cervix haha. But per doctor its safe

Answer

If you are concerned just have him wear a condom or use the pull out method, not like you can get pregnant again lol. I’m 31 weeks and only now starting to feel movements above the belly button, and I also haven’t received any cervix checks whatsoever, but we are still having sex and everything has been fine.

Answer

As long as you aren't super high risk....
