Is Sexual Intercourse Safe During Pregnancy?
Question: Is having sex okay during pregnancy
Brief Answer:
Sex is OK during pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about engaging in sex while your partner is pregnant. It is completely OK to have sex throughout pregnancy expect near the due date. I would also caution having sex if she is having any complications like pre-eclampsia or preterm labor. But if the pregnancy is normal there is no contraindication to having sexual intercourse.
