Sex and Pregnancy

My patients often ask, “Can I have sex during my pregnancy?”

I tell them that not only is it usually safe, but it’s also healthy! Sex during pregnancy promotes a feeling of well-being, a positive self-body image and it strengthens the relationship bond with your mate. You need to continue to be a couple, as well as grow into a family.

Always consult your doctor, as there are conditions in certain pregnancies where sex is contraindicated, or not advised. For example: pre-term labor, bleeding, placenta previa, etc.

Is it true that sex close to your due date can help induce labor? If so, are there any precautions when doing so?

 

My sister is 38.5 weeks pregnant and wants to try and induce labor so she can hopefully go into labor ASAP, does sex help? And what else helps? 

 

Thank you!

I don't really have a comment, but I am 18 years old and I haven't had sex or a boyfriend my whole high school career. It seems like the guys only date the girls who have had sex. I feel the only way to gain a guy is to loose my viginity, though I always hoped to save it. What do I do? Please e-mail me at giggles_h.m@hotmail.com if you have any suggestions.

Thanks A Bunch
