It's perfectly safe to have sex during pregnancy unless your doctor or midwife has told you not to. Many expectant parents worry that having sex during pregnancy will cause a problem. Having sex will not hurt your baby. Your partner's penis can't penetrate beyond your vagina, and the baby cannot tell what's going on. Your doctor or midwife may advise you to avoid sex if there has been any heavy bleeding during your pregnancy or if there is any problem with your cervix (like premature dilatation or incompetant cervix as explained in a previous post) If your pregnancy is normal and you have no complications, having sex and orgasms won't increase your risk of going into labour early or cause a miscarriage. Later in pregnancy, an orgasm or even sex itself can set off mild contractions. If this happens, you'll feel the muscles of your womb go hard. These are known as Braxton Hicks contractions and can be uncomfortable, but they're perfectly normal and there's no need for alarm. . . . . . . #love #pregnancy #couples #pregnant #pregnancylife #mom #dad #momtobe #midwifemarley #babyprep
