Safe sex during pregnancy: few things you need to know
Sex is a wonderful way for partners to remain intimate during pregnancy. It is usually safe, as long as some guidelines are followed:
- Woman on top positions or side-lying may be more comfortable as pregnancy advances.
- Deep penetration should be at the discretion and comfort of the mother.
- Water or air (or any foreign objects) in the vagina should not be part of any sex play during pregnancy. Douching should never be done during pregnancy.
- Understanding, empathy, creativity and humor will be good assets to love making during pregnancy.
You should be aware that orgasm, as well as breast stimulation, can cause the uterus to contract, this will not cause miscarriage. A bit of cramping after intercourse can be very normal. Of course, if cramping continues, or if it is associated with any spotting, you should see your care provider right away.
