Medical Conditions - Sex During Pregnancy

It is good to have sex during pregnancy. It creates a good bond between the partners, reduces pain and discomfort, serves as a mood booster, and improves sleep. It should be avoided only on the advice of the doctor. Having sex during pregnancy will not cause any harm to the baby. This is because the penis will not reach beyond the vagina during penetrative sex, so it does not cause any damage to the baby.
