So in reality, PREGNANCY SEX is something that can be very beneficial in many ways as follows-

1) It strengthens the pelvic floor muscles- Regular pregnancy sex can help keep your pelvic floor muscles toned and strong to help you deal with the grueling phase of labour. So don’t shy away from some healthy pregnancy sex.

2) It improves circulation in the body- During pregnancy quantity of blood in your body almost doubles to meet the need of both the mother and child. But an inactive circulation can impede the process and pregnancy sex helps you restore the functioning of the body with the discharge of certain hormones and ensure proper circulation.

3) It is a big immunity booster- Pregnancy is the time when a woman’s immunity is low. Apart from diet and lifestyle modification, pregnancy sex plays an important role in boosting one’s immunity. This is because pregnancy sex increases the level of IgA antibodies in the body that boosts immunity and prevents seasonal cold and flu which is common during pregnancy.

4) It helps you sleep better- Pregnancy sex, helps bonding and causes a surge in endorphins that helps an expectant mother to sleep better to fight fatigue.

5) It helps you to bond in better way- pregnancy sex leads to release of endorphins in the body that makes both the mother and child happy by reducing stress levels. Pregnancy sex ensures better bonding and intimacy between partners as it also increases production of oxytocin which helps pregnancy progress without complications and promises a less painful labour, hence making pregnancy sex a huge bonus.

So don’t hold back on having some pregnancy sex and have a good time.
