Sex and Pregnancy

Wed. Mar 18, 2009 | 3:12 PM

We're talking about the taboo subject of sex and pregnancy.

Medical expert Dr. Raj gives us the 411 on the dos and don'ts of having sex while you're pregnant. Find out if certain positions are okay -- and how late into your pregnancy you can actually have sex. Plus, is it really possible to have an orgasmic birth? Then meet men who are turned on, and others who are completely turned off by their pregnant wives. Host Mark Walberg from "Moment of Truth" and his wife stop by to candidly talk about sex, pregnancy and childbirth.

Tell Us: Do you have any questions about sex during pregnancy?

You asked on the show "Why do women have to be in pain during childbirth?" The reason is in the Bible, Genesis 3:16. Then God said to the woman, "You shall bear children in intense pain and suffering; yet even so, you shall welcome your husband's affections, and he shall be your master." Genesis Chapter 3 tells us why there is all the pain and suffering that we have in the world.

I WATCHED TODAY'S SHOW I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH THE GURL WHO WORKED ON THE BUNNY RANCH I THINK IT'S VEREY DOWN GRADING: SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER DONE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I don't know how Tyra can be so judgmental! Was she pregnant at 20, did she have to ever make a decision without the backing of her "mama"? Does she have any clue what it is like to feel like you have no other choice but to be a prostitute? I'm guessing no! That poor kid is doing all she can to make sure that her child will be provided for and she is making a huge sacrifice to do so. It may not be the choice we would make but I feel so sorry for her. Watching her on the show I could see that she is not just some scank who whores it around. She needs help and the people who are supposed to be helping her dropped out on her when she needed them most. Shame on all of them and on you Tyra Banks for judging her. How about "there but for the grace of God go I"!

Well... Tyra, I think you were alittle hard on the pregnant prostitute. I dont agree with what she is doing, because of risks to her unborn baby. However you said that your mother was a single mother and decribed just how hard it was, well not everyone can be your mother. We are all different and go through different things in our life to make us make the decitions that we make. Tyra is is obvious to me that she has some sort of mental block,maybe a permanant mental condition or just a temperary mental block that is not allowing her to see things for what they really are.She thinks she is doing what is best for her at this time (yes i said her, because she really only is thinking of her baby...when she realizes that the baby is the reason she can be a bunny in the first place.)Bottom line is she is not strong enough to do what your mother and other mothers do(when they do the right thing)not everybody has it in them to work two jobs to get by.Just because one person can do one thing, maybe she cant,maybe thats all she feels that she has going for her.If she feels that way it is hard for her to see anything else.Noboby walk in someone elses shoes, it cant really be done... because nobody ever lives the exact same life. I do hope that she realizes, it not worth it,it only hurts her self esteem even more than it was already damaged. THANKS TYRA, MUCH LOVE, RACHELLE

i saw on the show that there are risks for a woman who has sex before the six weeks who delivered vaginally, but what about a woman who delivered C-Section? what type of risks from sex before the six weeks? 3 weeks for example?

I belive its her choice. She is old enough to know what she wants to do. What work will take a six month along pregnent woman? Honestly. Personally I could not do prostatution obviously she does not want to do what she does but she wants her little girl to have a decent life if she did not care she would be living in a box on the streets and do nothing. She cares about her baby she said when she has her little girl she wants to get a real job and start a new life.

I think the guy is terrible. She is having a baby for him, and God is blessing him. To go out to a pub and dance with other women just shows how much of a male shovanist pig he is. His wife if very sexy, and he should be ashamed of himself.

I saw this show today and I have to say thank you Tyra for all the info you put on your show!!! I love it. I am also 5 1/2 months pregnant and my concerns and problems are not about the pregnancy but about the birth. I want to breast feed and from what I have read alot about whats best for baby and when i contacted the hospital I am giving birth at they where not only unhelpful but offensive. I want to know how many rights do I have and what can I control?
