The Science

In most cases, sex is safe during pregnancy. Many couples maintain their sexual intimacy throughout the trimesters without complications. However, certain conditions such as a history of miscarriage, preterm labor, or specific medical issues may require consulting a healthcare provider before engaging in sexual activity.

It is important to communicate openly with your partner and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. Modifications such as exploring different positions or avoiding certain activities may be necessary to ensure comfort. Always listen to your body and prioritize health and safety during this time.
