Although I am over the moon with our first child, I am also consciously cautious about the risk of sex during pregnancy. The doctors tend to advise pregnant mothers that engaging in “cautious” sexual activities during pregnancy throughout the gravidity is safe. I, myself, find it difficult to define how “cautious” is “cautious sex” during intercourse. The fluctuating hormones, fatigue, nausea, weight gain and back pain can certainly dampen the mood for sex as the pregnancy progresses. Preconceived ideas and the cultural taboo of sex and pregnancy is often the first obstacle to enjoying sex during pregnancy.
