Vibrators during pregnancy

January 21 2012

What are your opinions of using a vibrator during pregnancy? Our best friend "Google" says there is no evidence that a vibrator will harm your unborn baby, only an unsterilised toy.Anyone have any different opinions? I love to masturbate with our toys as both a precursor to sex or just to help me get out of bed in the morning. ThanksMrs Dub xxx

    You can still have sex during pregnancy, so im pretty sure a vibrator isnt that different ;)One fun thing you will find out as you get bigger is that when you orgasm, the bottom of your stomach goes REALLY hard, as your uturus will contract during it. Freaked my hubby out the first time Happy masturbating!! Mrs 2ezee

    I used a vibrator during both my pregnancys and it kept me totaly satisfied and did not upset my babys one little bit. My kids are now 6 and 4 yrs old and have no problem. Go for it, if it keeps you satisfied and happy why not!

    ...that I am aware of is that babies in the womb can and do react to sound, which of course is nothing more that vibrations carried in the air and transmitted via the amniotic fluids that they rest in so peacefully. That said, they can also have reactions to the stress of the mother and other emotional responses which may be transmitted through the developing central nervous system and absorbed as a byproduct in the bloodstream as some are chemical reactions to environmental stimuli. | The use of a vibrator...who knows, as the sound and sensation may be a pleasant one albeit difficult to ascertain without significant research. A pleasant and relaxing climax may be just what the doctor ordered for both mother and child. Some doctors will even allow for a small glass of red wine during pregnancy...others may recommend that any alcohol be given a miss entirely. | As for foolish men who abstain entirely during the pregnancy...they have no idea what they are missing and at perhaps one of the most intimate times in their lives that they will ever experience. These most likely are the ones that will take the delivery for a miss or worse, pass out cold throughout this amazing event and miss being able to watch their child open it's eyes and take that first breath. | Talk to your doctor and/or ObGyn...it's a pity more men don't take the time to share in the journey that is the start of a new life, perhaps both that of the child and your own.

    vibrators are unsafe....if you have 'placenta previa', or are at risk of early delivery.....or have an existing vaginal infection. vibrators are harder than a penis generally and should be treated with extra care, and kept extra clean. but i would guess that with proper care and thoughfulness, its no less safe than many other things we do to pregnant women   ....care should be taked when using a foreign object anywhere near the 'gynie' any way......and pregnancy would logically make that even more important.... if there's a worry...seek advice from a professional who is trained in this discipline.... he/she would be able to advise you properly...

    mike please stop trying to take all the fun out of sex even when we are fat and horny....christ almighty it was bad enough doing it alone sometime (most of the times) I used a clitty stimulator sometimes...gee fucking whizz my own very clean vibrator...when I had no-one to rub my clit...i mean back *eyeroll* fuck me!!! how hard does it have to be sometimes?

    ... and I'm with you, DGT. Some comments made may refer to the odd out woman that gets off by riding a pogo stick or using a 12" long Carbolite vibrator with mold growing on it. I don't think that was the question...and if any woman does that then it's Darwin's theory in practice. | Gentle clitoral stimulation may not even penetrate the vagina to any extent and you can clean them without the aid of an autoclave. Go easy with the flame thrower...no matter how much fun it may be if you aim it at the neighbors cat. | *lol*...and as usual Chilli, your creative mind never ceases to amaze me! Hell yes, refresh the batteries and put a silver bullet in the cradle on low...the humming and slight vibration may put the baby right to sleep as they have no idea in the world what it is...and mum can grab a few hours sleep herself. | Funny how we are stopped from breast feeding as early as reasonable yet go bonkers over them again as soon as puberty sets in...ahhhh the mysteries and intricacies of the human mind!

    recent scientific studdies have suggested your baby may be born with a stutter (i made that rumour up) go for it mrs dubbz im sure if there was an issue it would be a known subject and your obstitrician would tell you and the packaging of the vibrator would have a warning

    There is absolutely no risk with a vibrator that will not be there for normal sex. Considerably less I should think as the woman is in control not the man. Not saying that all men are rough but they cannot feel what we are experiencing. Also, with placenta praevia, the male sperm can actually trigger early labour in the last trimester. Something a vibrator will not do. I stopped using mine during the last two months as it felt uncomfortable. I also did not like the hardening of my uterus during orgasm at this time. Using a vibrator should be the same as any other activity during pregnancy.....if it hurts or is uncomfortable dont do it. l Mikeandshel? I dont know how long it has been since you updated your toy selection but mine is soft and flexible...just like the real deal.

    sharing what was told to us (my ex wife and i) when we asked a health professional.... we lost both our first and second child while she was still pregnant, so wanted to eliminate any of the risks we thought might be there... we were young and naieve, and there was no access to any information....this was pre-internet after all....... as it stands...its fact that any foreign object in or around your gynie, brings with it some element of risk.... but like i said...."its no less safe than many other things we do with pregnant women'....and that "care should be taken'...........not every woman just enjoys clitoral stimulation with a vibrator...also fact... some women like to feel 'full' while using a vibrator...ooh gee...fact also.... and guess what?...men are rough when they use sex toys on women....fact as well...not everything can be explained away as trivial, or with some stupid joke attached.... shit like this is important...or people wouldnt ask...............

    I used my toys during both my pregnancies my ex wouldnt come near me as soon as i started showing he was scared he would hurt the baby lol he wasnt the biggest ive ever seen so i dont know where he got that idea as they cant reach into the cervix. I was horny all the time especially while pregnant with my daughter they are 3 and 4 now and perfectly happy and healthy. My doctor told me that sex and masturbation was quite safe and normal while pregnant and i thouroughly enjoyed it

    Hey mrs dubb... My advice (which i learnt after 4miscarriages, in the days before i owned a vibrator) that saw me deliver 3 gorgeous happy babies is keep mum happy.. if you want to use a vibrator to help mr dubb satisfy you... your precious bundle is safe and securely tucked up in an warm sterile sac of fluid that normally takes a fair force to rupture it... if you have a high risk pregnancy.. perhaps hour long sessions with the supersized powered vib shold be cut back abit... my last preg was high risk and obstetrician was amazed at how smoothly the preg went and how well my daughter was.. secret was an active sex life inc toys and staying active to a week before she was born.. im sure mike meant well with his advice but i think that went out about the time they stopped keeping women on a weeks bedrest after delivery.... mike either research before you comment or leave women health issues to women, some of us have had first hand experience at it.. lol

    Heavens above.. if vibrators are dangerous to baby in utero please dont have dad put his cock in your pussy after youve concieved, dont have probe ultrasounds to check closeup on bub and definately dont have any doctor or nursr do an internal to check cervix... you wouldnt want to risk baby... why oh why. am i sounding so cynical about this... thats right... getting ready to do major mothers snd babies assignment for nursing course.. but modern reports and journals i have been reading are so wrong... the one thing that i do agree with is your primary health care giver is the person to ask if in doubt... hope you have a good relationship though.... open frank sex discussion arent alls fortay... particularlly some male obs

    My thoughts are that you should ask your doctor. My experience is that using a vibrator does no harm. Hugs Gaz

    as was ours.......but it was worth, and always will be, obtaining the advice of a professional you trust, before indulging....... makes sense to err on the side of caution where theres another life involved....even when the risk is negligible.

    Quoting 'mikeandshel' i'm sure that all those things you mention carry with them an element of risk.... its the risks of injury/infection/trauma and worse that is the reason we all sign forms that indemnify hospitals/doctors and even nurses from responsibility should an issue arise out of their performance of a procedure....any time you put anything near to a gals bit...theres a risk isnt there??... maybe i can ask the 'professional' who advised us way back then...in that strange way that life twists and turns, i met and fell in love with a lass i went to high school with ....and...lo and behold...... he's now my brother in law.... i'm sure his midwifery/neo-natal nursing career has put him in good stead to advise us and others..... Mike,   Ask away.. i am sure you would be told that current best care practice is that anything that makes mum feel good and mum is comfortable with is good for baby and for mum.....   It amazes me if you are so worried about girly bits and what you may introduce in there, that you have had sex, and had anykids...   The Vagina is the single self cleaning low maintanence part of the body....

    You have all definitely put my mind at ease. I have spoken to the OB and she said it's all good. I just though I'd throw the topic out there, as it is a very sexual time for me (and Mr) and we want to enjoy it while we can.Thanks again XXXX Mrs Dubb

    There is no evidence, for a normal pregnancy, in normal circumstances, that using a vibrator will harm you or your baby. They are very well protected in there :)A friend of mine was worried about being 30+ weeks pregnant and the effect of surf crashing in a power boat would have on her baby. Her OB (a very well respected one here) laughed and said not to worry.Having said that, her OB was also the OB my sister had for all her pregnancies. The advice he gave my sister was the opposite end of the spectrum, for a reason, she was very high risk.She was advised no sex, no lifting, in fact she was bed ridden in KEMH from an early stage (so a bit hard to have sex anyway!)Now keep in mind, she had previous history and being admitted to hospital was not only to ensure her activity was minimal - it was also to ensure she had access to immediate medical assistance.She had placenta previa, grade 4 with twins. Her placenta abrupted at 25. While bed ridden in hospital. NO activity caused it - she was lying in a hospital bed - it just happened. It was horrific on many accounts. The reason her OB said no sex or lifting etc was to minimise any possible additional risk because she was VERY High Risk. She didn't need anyone to tell her that. It was always touch and go. She was an 'extreme'.Her experience affected me in that I was paranoid seeing what happened. DGT I only WISH I was super horny all the time during my pregnancy because I am positive it would of helped me get over how scared I was - even though I had no reason to be, at all! (I had to be induced!)Having said that, by my third pregnancy, toward the end (term), I was over it and try as I might to bring on labour (was over being induced) my vibrator just gave me false hope of contractions (wow how tight does your tummy get?!). Trust me.. I really really REALLY tried to bring it on... and failed! Although it may explain why my third bub would only go to sleep at night with the sound of a vaporiser going... At the end of the day, unless you are in the super high risk category there is no reason not to continue to enjoy sex/toys, trust your body - if it doesn't feel right, if it hurts etc (and of course hygienic goes without saying pregnant or not). Happy Mummy makes for such a better and more enjoyable pregnancy :)(ps. congrats! :))
