Q: Sex during pregnancy?

Currently, there is no information suggesting that sex harms the baby in a normal pregnancy. Sex usually does not infect the baby as she is safely protected in a bag of fluid that surrounds her. Having intercourse will not crush the baby either.

However, it is advisable in the later months of your pregnancy to adopt a side-by-side position during intercourse.

Do consult your doctor if your have these conditions:-

1. A previous miscarriage. Your doctor may advise you to abstain from sex during the 1st 3 months of pregnancy while the pregnancy establishes itself.
2. Bleeding. Consult your doctor immediately.
3. Water bag breaks and there is a discharge of fluid. There is a risk on infection. Go straight to the hospital.
