3 Safety Measures To Take While Making Love As A Pregnant Woman

According to Healthline, Pregnant women are not prohibited from having sexual activities with their partners. However, some measures need to be taken to ensure the safety of both the mother and the child during the act.

Here are 3 measures to take while making love as a pregnant woman.

1. Be careful while having oral intimacy

It’s better to avoid oral intimacy when you are in your advanced stages of pregnancy. However, if you want to indulge in it, make sure your partner never blows air into the vagina as it may lead to air embolism (when the air bubble creates a blockage in the blood vessel).

2. Use protection

Do not have unprotected s£x with a partner whose sexual history is unknown to you or who may have sexually transmitted disease (STD). If you become infected, the disease may be passed to your baby.

3. Avoid strenuous lovemaking positions

Avoid lovemaking positions that will stress you. Positions that keep you off your back are good as it helps with avoiding potential blood flow compression, which can lead to light-headedness and other issues.
