No, it is not harmful

HI dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Orgasm during sex or masturbation do not have any adverse effect on the fetus. This is because it is a nervous process, and no hormones are involved. However, avoid vigorous intercourse, breast sucking and excessive clitoral stimulation during intercourse.
