“Is it safe to have oral sex during pregnancy?”
I am 3 months pregnant and I would like to know if there are any risks involved with oral sex during my pregnancy?

It is generally safe
Yes just avoid the increased pressure of blowing air which can dissect into the uterus
Ideally, vaginal sex during pregnancy is appropriate and not contraindicated. However if for any reason vaginal sex is not recommended, oral sex may still provide arousal and still cause similar response. This is my thought on this as a gynecologist and not a sex therapist.
I do not think so, there is no literature saying that it can cause any problems.
No
No
I will presume that you are asking if it is safe for a pregnant woman to receive oral sex. The answer is that any sexual activity is generally safe. The exception to this rule is that there is some risk of serious problems if air is blown into the vagina, especially when you are pregnant. So, if your partner can refrain from blowing bubbles, you should be OK.
Oral sex can be dangerous to you if your partner is blowing any air into your vagina. Otherwise, there is only risk of viral and bacterial infections.

There is no problem in having oral sex with your pregnant wife.
Oral sex, for the most part, in pregnancy is fine.
Exceptions:
1. Avoid blowing air into the vagina, this could cause a condition called “Air Embolism,” which is potentially dangerous for the mother and baby.
2. Herpes (Type 1), the one that causes cold sores, could be transmitted to the genital area, too. Watch out for all sexually transmitted diseases in general as a precaution.
Take care!

Yes, oral sex can be safe during pregnancy, with certain precautions. Fellacio and cunnilingus are methods using the tongue to stimulate the genitals, i.e., the penis or clitoris/vagina, respectively; both are safe. I caution not to have any contact if you or your partner has a "cold sore," which is most commonly the HSV 2 virus and can transmit this very serious
(potentially deadly virus) to your child during birth. Also, other STIs (sexually transmitted infections) can be transmitted during oral sex and if there any lesions on the penis or vagina, have your healthcare provider examine the area.
