Hello and welcome,

I am not sure if the question is clear and if you are really referring to the hymen. If you are pregnant then surely there must have been a sexual intercourse before pregnancy and the hymen must be broken already.

Hymen is a thin membrane that covers the vagina before sexual intercourse. It breaks mostly when women begin an active sex life and may also break due to trauma from a fall or injury to the area.

So it is not likely for a pregnant woman to have an intact hymen.

Kindly clarify if you meant the hymen or something else so that I may be able to help you better.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
