Thank goodness for the women who are card-carrying members of the mothers with intelligence (or perhaps future mothers) who are on here, as well as the well-informed men (like scifi) who have actual medical information which has been heard first hand. I just about hit the roof when I read a few of the first posts about women who have sex during pregnancy being selfish. OMG!!! Spoken like a man who will never know what it's like to carry a baby and still, for the sake of all things precious, be a WOMAN with normal desires and abilities (unless she's restricted by her medical professional in some way). I am so sick and tired of people acting like a women's menstrual cycle or her hormone levels during pregnancy render her a useless, second-rate human, who needs to be steered clear of, lest someone lose an eye.
The greeks and romans in antiquity thought that women were often rendered nearly insane because of their uterus. Hysteria = "wandering womb." So, how much more sexist and stupid can you get?
Normal pregnancies and healthy women with healthy unborn little people mean that the activities you are used to doing, you can do within reason, with the approval of your ob/gyn. Lots of women find their pregnant bodies very sexy and the estrogen surge makes some feel more amourous. Doctors don't usually cart pregnant women off to a nunnery for the remainder of their gestation. Good grief, how archaic can some people be in their thinking!!! [>:]
As many of my sub women colleagues have said, submission is more than having your Dom drag you off caveman style and phuk you till your uterus pops out of your ear. Geez!!! If that is what folks are thinking, I would strongly suggest reading some great books written on the subject of WIITWD.
It's also true that sex in the last days of healthy pregnancy is suggested to ripen the cervix a bit and help labor come on. It's also true that in a healthy pregnancy, the uterine contractions that occur with orgasm are like an internal "hug" to the baby. It doesn't hurt them, it actually has been found to be quite soothing to them if there are no pre-existing reasons why the mothers-to-be should not be having orgasms. (I'm a mom twice, have had the information given to me both times, and my sister-in-law is a nurse midwife.)
Before you post something, please make sure that the things you are saying have some sort of factual basis to them, otherwise the people who know for sure will certainly inform you of the error of your statements.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! An intelligent, common sense post, on the subject!!
