Can Masturbating In Pregnancy Cause Harm?
Hi, I'm 4 weeks away from my due date... I'm pregnant!And I have been occasionally masturbating but when I do I make sure not to be too rough. But after I orgasm I realize I bleed. At first it's small blood clots n then it's just light red blood. Could this be harmfull??

Hallow Dear,
Neither masturbation nor sexual intercourse is harmful during pregnancy if specifically not contraindicated. Deep insertion of penis or dildo is to be avoided to safeguard the pregnancy from irritating the uterus.
The bleeding you are having after masturbation suggests:
1. Deep insertion of dildo or
2. Some trauma inside the vagina.
To avoid any risk of infection, better report to your Obstetrician.
If you are more than 36 weeks now, I would advise you to refrain from the masturbation now.
Hope this helps you.
