Brief Answer:
No, it is not harmful

Detailed Answer:
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.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Dr Deepti Verma.
