Is It Safe To Masturbate During Pregnancy?

If you masturbate during pregnancy, can it cause the cord to wrap around the babys neck? I am 24 years of age and my husband likes to watch! But I am 6 months pregnant and am worried about the baby. Right now in this stage of my pregnancy I am 125 pounds at the height of 5 2.

Hi,
I understand your query.
Masturbation is safe in pregnancy as it does not cause any physical stress & also relieves stress. Still one must be careful about few things while masturbating.
-some people use sex toyes like vibrators while masturbation- one must be cautious while inserting it - so that it should not go deep/ causing pain or discomfort.
Also the vibrator must be washed clean , & should not carry infection.
- One must be careful & know where to stop- The masturbation should be without pain/ injury.
_ avoid using unconventional things for masturbating- & put various objects in vagina/rectum -it may be harmful.
So, masturbation is alright even in pregnancy provide one knows the healthy methods /limits.
Thanks.
