An orgasm does not pose any threat to a healthy pregnancy. However, if the mother is at risk of preterm birth or placental bleeding, abstinence is recommended. Otherwise, orgasm from all forms of stimulation natural or artificial is not harmful to the pregnancy.

Pregnancy orgasms feel better than regular ones. They can be more intense due to improved blood circulation in the sex organs. Oxytocin is produced in the later phases of pregnancy and after birth. It plays an important role here because it triggers orgasms while breastfeeding too.

Some women find that pregnancy interferes with their ability to orgasm.

A particular position could be your key to orgasm but pregnancy could hamper you from achieving the same. The same way, achieving an orgasm in the later stage of pregnancy could be difficult because the uterus muscles cannot contract because of the baby.

You may feel that pregnancy and childbirth can put your sex life to a halt. But that does not happen. Pregnancy and childbirth help you by making orgasm an easy-to-achieve goal.
