Sex in pregnancy

It’s possible that your interest in sex will fluctuate throughout your pregnancy
As long as you are comfortable and not experiencing any bleeding or cramps when making love, then sexual intercourse will not harm your baby
As your pregnancy progresses and your womb lifts, making love may become uncomfortable when you become aroused – this is perfectly normal and may even hurt enough to put you off the whole idea
Sometimes men are put off sex because they’re worried about hurting you or the baby
Don’t worry if you and your partner choose not to have intercourse during pregnancy, as this is quite common
If you decide not to have intercourse, try to find other ways to be close and intimate
If you have previously miscarried, you should consult your healthcare professional and follow any advice they may give
