3 doctors weighed in: When during pregnancy should you stop laying on your back? 3 doctors weighed in Want a second opinion? At approximately 24 weeks you should avoid laying on your back for prolonged periods of time in order to avoid compression of veins (vena cava). In brief: 6 months.
Your developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the strong muscles of the uterus itself. Sexual activity won't affect your baby. As long as you're comfortable, most sexual positions are OK during pregnancy. As your pregnancy progresses, experiment to find what works best. Rather than lying on your back, for example, you might want to lie next to your partner sideways or position yourself on top of your partner or in front of your partner.
