Sex during pregnancy: these three words contain a whole universe.

There are many doubts that future mothers and couples have regarding this topic.

That's why I've prepared the content of the next few lines, which, as you can see, is preceded by an index.

I included it to give you the opportunity, if you want, to delve deeper into the topics that interest you.

Now all we have to do is get into the heart of the action, discovering the facets of a crucial theme for experiencing the sweet wait in serenity.

We will do this thanks to the advice of Doctor Maria Chiara Alvisi, independent midwife and author of the prenatal video course that you can find at the end of this paragraph.

In cases where the pregnancy is physiological , as Dr. Alvisi recalled at the beginning of this video, having sexual intercourse is not a problem.

In fact, having sex can bring benefits both on a physical level and in terms of cohesion between the two partners.

I also remember that having sexual intercourse during pregnancy 1-2 times a week is a habit that, as specified by the guidelines on physiological pregnancy of the Ministry of Health , is associated with a lower incidence of preterm birth.

The incidence further decreases with increasing weekly frequency of intercourse.

We could go on and on listing the reasons why the question “ Can you have sex while pregnant? ” has an affirmative answer.

I would like to underline that sexual intercourse in the last trimester of pregnancy is a precious ally for the health of the pelvic floor , which is “trained” in view of the work it will have to do during labor and delivery.
