Except for specific exceptions in which withdrawal due to risk to the fetus is advised, Pregnancy sex is recommended and safe.
Having sex not only has positive effects on the couple, but is also beneficial for the baby. The mother's organism releases endorphins and the pelvic region receives more blood, causing the baby to experience a pleasant sensation inside the uterus.
A series of false myths are often around sex during pregnancy, such as certain postures can harm the baby, that semen can affect him, or that the child may feel intercourse as something unpleasant. However, they are all beliefs without any foundation.
On the contrary, sexual intercourse is something that should be continue to enjoy it normally during pregnancy. It promotes intimacy and reinforces feelings at a very special moment for the couple.
A review recently published in the Canadian Medical Journal, a prestigious Canadian scientific journal, recalls that pregnancy is not a stage of sexual abstinence.
Sex in pregnancy is natural and there are very few contraindications in the case of low risk pregnancies.
In high-risk cases, although there is no conclusive evidence, it is appropriate to recommend sexual abstinence, "taking into account that it is a simple measure that could prevent catastrophic consequences," experts say. Which does not mean that you can enjoy a different form of sexuality.
Although it is an indication that the gynecologist should give, the cases in which it is usually recommended to avoid sexual intercourse are those in which the uterus needs rest as a threat of abortion, threat of premature delivery, rupture of an amniotic sac or placenta previa.
In general, Pregnancy sex is recommended and safe. Maintaining sexual intercourse, except for particular circumstances, affects the benefit of the parents and the baby.
