Sex during pregnancy is a topic that raises many questions among expectant parents. Is it safe? Can it harm the baby? The short answer is that for most women with a normal pregnancy it is completely safe to have sex. The baby is well protected by the amniotic fluid and the mucus plug that seals the cervix. However some complications may require abstinence. If you have a history of miscarriage, preterm labor, or placenta previa your doctor may recommend avoiding sex. As always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
