Baby on board... Pregnancy and sexuality
And what about the risks?
It is particularly in these domains that
circulate a large number of ready-made ideas which turn out to be mostly
false. As an example, it is completely wrong to impute to the persistance
of sexual relations the miscarriages of the first quarter of pregnancy.
In the same way, the orgasm can only exceptionally provoke harmful uterine
contractions during the first and the second quarter of the pregnancy.
However, any penetration remains highly dissuaded in numerous cases of
complications, or in the presence of a sexually transmitted disease on
the man’s side. High precautions are obviously mandatory in this
case, and it might then be a wise move to follow the obstetrician’s
advises.
We can conclude by asserting that an active and harmonious sexuality during pregnancy contributes to strengthen the links between the couple of future parents. Sexuality can be a natural, safe and balanced source of pleasure. Among numerous psychological modifications, the future mom focuses on loving and caring, whereas the man is slowly evolving from his lover's " status " to the father’s. Also, sexuality during pregnancy can be considered as a phase of preparation and harmony in the couple, a fusion between two beings resulting in the arrival of the third one, the child.
