"I’m Afraid to Have Sex During Pregnancy" 🤰💭

Hello everyone! im back to answering the questions yous elected here.

One of the most popular questions from clients to sexologists is about the fear of having sex during pregnancy. It’s a concern many couples share, so let’s dive into it with a bit of fun and reassurance.

Both men and women often have various fears about sex during pregnancy. Even when the gynecologist gives the green light and the desire is there, many couples worry about harming the baby.

Guys might imagine they’re somehow going to "poke" the embryo, while women might fear that muscle contractions during sex could trigger premature labor.

But here’s the thing—this anxiety doesn’t do any good for the couple or the future baby. Sexual desires go unfulfilled, and it can feel like your intimate life is being sacrificed. Emotional connection between partners can weaken, and the relationship might start revolving solely around the baby, which can be a heavy psychological burden for everyone involved.

So, what’s the takeaway? If your doctor says it’s safe and you both feel like it, don’t let fear hold you back. Embrace the intimacy, enjoy the connection, and remember that maintaining a healthy sexual relationship is good for both you and your baby.
