Pregnancy Myths Dispelled

Fact: Sex in pregnancy is not only safe, but wonderful for most couples. The baby is well cushioned in the amniotic sac and can't see anything. Many women find that pregnant sex is very wonderful due to some of the physical changes in their bodies that make orgasms happen more easily or often. Guys tend to enjoy the lack of thinking about birth control. Sure, there are some changes to be expected in your sex life, including fluctuations in your libido, but that's personal choice not obstetrical command. The exceptions to sex in pregnancy include bleeding, preterm labor, and your water being broken. Ask your doctor or midwife if you have any risk factors that would preclude sex in pregnancy.
