Sexual Intimacy During Pregnancy
@Irfan76 So medically, if a pregnancy is uncomplicated and low risk, there is no harm in intercourse though. Infact it might help with inducing labour if pregnancy is prolonged. However, there are conditions (such as placenta previa and vasa previa) in late pregnancy that can put both mommy and baby at significant risk if intercourse takes place. However, if u are seeing a registered obstetrician or atleast are having regular ultrasounds ( which would reveal these issues), u will be told beforehand that a condition exists and to abstain from marital intimacy. Tbh, even in early pregnancy (cervical insufficiency, history of preterm labor, etc) conditions might produce a high risk pregnancy that will lead to doctors advising caution but these are things the doctor will tell you normally. This is, of course, is not considering the women’s physical symptoms which might make it intimacy distresssing to some women, and ofcourse a husband should be mindful of that. That being said, if baby is safe and wife is willing (some women might experience a heightened libido in pregnancy), I don’t believe there is anything wrong with it.
