The Truth About Sex During Pregnancy

Orgasm does not trigger labor

Although orgasm causes uterine contractions, these do not cause premature labor in non-pathological pregnancies. In fact, during penetration, the penis cannot break the water bag, thanks to the mucous plug that closes the cervix.

No risk to the baby

Many people mistakenly believe that sexual intercourse can harm the baby or cause complications. In reality, there is no no risk for the baby because it is protected by the amniotic cavity. In short, no, it does not “touch” the head!

We can do whatever position we want

Despite the crazy sex positions, there is no risk of hurting your baby. There are no forbidden positions . The only recommendation to have maximum pleasure is to find a position in which you are comfortable.

Irritations are common
