Normally, sexual intercourse during pregnancy can't hurt your baby or cause infection. Your healthcare provider may put restrictions on your sexual activity in early pregnancy if you have a history of miscarriages or in late pregnancy if you have a history of premature births. Keep in mind that it is typical for pregnant women to undergo changes in how they feel about sex throughout their pregnancy. At times your sexual desire may increase; other times it may decrease. Ask your healthcare provider if there is any reason you should restrict sex during pregnancy. Also be sure to stop having sex and to see your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you experience painful intercourse, bleeding, or signs of infection, or if your water breaks prematurely. |
