A must read: How safe is sex in pregnancy?

 Often times, the question always arises among couples.  Is sex safe during pregnancy?

According to experts, sex should be enjoyed by couples. In fact, there is no reason for them to stop sex even when the woman is pregnant since pregnancy is no sickness. A woman with normal pregnancy may continue to have sex until she goes into labour.

The fear that the fetus (baby) might get hurt during love making should be totally erased, because the amniotic sac which holds the baby and the strong muscles of a pregnant woman protect the baby, while the thick mucous plug which seals the cervix helps guard against infection.

Though sometimes, orgasm, nipple stimulation and the prostaglandins in semen could lead to mild uterine contractions; these are generally temporary and harmless.
