Sex During Pregnancy

Don't Have Sex When...

Though it is rare, there are some instances when your doctor may advise against having sex during pregnancy... if, for example:

• you have a history of premature birth or labour;
• your water has broken;
• you are bleeding;
• you have placenta previa, a condition in which part of the placenta covers the cervix;
• you or your partner has a sexually transmitted infection.
