Parents.com took the time to craft some careful answers to the most intimate questions about pregnancy sex. I'm going to add some completely incautious rambling to that. Here's round two of the Parents.com pregnancy sex questions.
"Q. Could my husband's penis do any harm to the baby?
A. A lot of men worry about this..."
Hold on for just a sec.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Sorry. Okay, back to the question.
"...but the answer is no. His penis won't traumatize the baby or cause your water to break. If you notice any bleeding after sex, talk to your physician -- increased blood supply in your cervix and amped-up circulation to the vaginal area during pregnancy can sometimes cause spotting. Call your doctor to rule out more serious causes of bleeding, such as placenta previa, placental abruption, or premature labor."
My words of wisdom for the day. When your husband expresses fears that his penis will harm the baby,
Don't say, "You've got nothing to worry about."
Do say, "Honey, I'm so glad you asked. Of course, if anyone's member could make the long journey into my uterus, yours totally could. But I want you to know that even in your case, I've been assured everything will be okay."
