Is it safe to be given oral sex when pregnant (31 weeks). There, I've said it.

absolutely ! a lot of women find sex more intense and pleasurable when pregnant, due to the increased blood flow to your fanjo! enjoy !

its safe to have any type of sex so long as your comfortable.

in fact male seman can help to weaken the cervix and therefore bring on labour when your nearing your due date.

go for it and enjoy yourself.

Oh thank you, only I read somewhere (from a doctor as well) that if your partner blows in your fanjo (love the word) by mistake or otherwise, then it could be harmful to the baby or something.

I mean, not that he was intending to do that or anything... at least I don't think so.

The same works the other way around!! I was brave enough to ask my GP when pg with DD (nearly 9 years ago) if it was OK to swallow (I'm sure I don't need to explain!?) and he said yes, its fine. In fact, the protein in semen is good for you, pg or not!
Now thats an interesting fact that you might like to share at a party!!

My god i couldnt possibly ask my GP that. glad you are abble to be so frank with yours.
I find it award when he asks "how are you?" i always say "fine" out of habit, and then I think i should turn around and walk away.

Purple princess - good on you for asking that. When I was a nurse on a night shift once, we had a breathless call from a the wife of a patient who'd been discharged that day after a hernia repair, asking if they could have oral sex! I PMSL as I could visualise them ready to go for it if I said yes - which I did!

LOL, I've been registered with my GP all my life so it wasn't that big a deal for me - I like to be honest and I saw it as a medical question!
Glad you said yes headgirl!
I can imagine not many will want DH/DP's to know this fact!!

PurpleLostPrincess - surely all men say that doctor or not!

On a more technical side - why is blowing up your doodah dangerous and what is the difference between blowing up there and pumping air in during sex?

Exactly! I don't get it. Maybe the doctor who stated this meant that your partner shouldn't blow up "it" like blowing up a balloon or something. I don't know.
Although what he said was: "sex is fine during pregnancy, however when you are about 30 weeks you should avoid oral sex as air into your vagina can be harmful to the baby.".
Strange.
