Magandang araw Doc Rica,
My wife is pregnant with our first baby so we are trying to take as much precaution as possible. However, dahil we used to have sex a lot, we still have a high sexual urge so parang mahirap yatang mag-adjust na biglang no sex at all as we are being careful nga. Puwede pa po ba kaming magsex kahit buntis sya?

Hello Banana Glass,
Congratulations! Very exciting and challenging ang pagi-introduce ng baby sa mundo. Maganda ang ginagawa ninyong pag-aralan ang mga precautions sa inyong pagbubuntis. Maganda din kung nandoon pa rin ang inyong healthy sexual appetite and desire for each other. Keep it up!
Well, unless merong complications ang pagbubuntis ni misis, safe naman ‘yan ang pag-sesex during pregnancy dahil ‘yung fetus is protected by a cushioning sac ng amniotic fluid. Isipin mo na lang na ‘yung baby ay ‘yung pula ng itlog tapos may egg white na nag-proprotect sa inyong supling.
So kung ang concern mo ay baka ginugulo mo si baby sa loob, hindi totoo ‘yun. During pregnancy, kailangan ninyo ring mag-adjust sa inyong sexual positions. Puwede kasing kung ano ‘yung effective dati will not be as pleasurable.
So kailangan din maging attentive ni misis sa kung anong sinasabi ng kanyang katawan. Lalo na if there is any pain or bleeding. Be sure na ang inyong doctor ay just one call away.
Pero dahil buntis si misis, there will be differences in sexual desire. This may be due to some inconveniences like nahihilo, masama pakiramdam, or may energy gap. You may want to discuss with her other alternatives in achieving pleasure just in case not in a lovey dovey mood ang buntis mong asawa.
Kailangan maging extra considerate ka and respect her emotional and psychological boundaries in sex para din maging safe and comfortable kayo pareho during sex. Wala pa ring tatalo sa pag-uusap about what each person wants para you can reach some sort of agreement.
It is a very different time than nung bago kayo magbuntis. So things will be a little different sa inyong sex life. Nevertheless, enjoy and always be safe.
With love and lust,
Doc Rica
