Intercourse should be avoided from the sixth to the twelfth (1st to 3rd month) week of the pregnancy, as it can cause miscarriage. Sexual abstinence is recommended during the last two months of pregnancy as well. At this time, if one indulges in sexual intercourse, there is risk of the essential amniotic fluid leaking out, causing complications. - During the fourth to seventh month of pregnancy, intercourse is allowed unless you are otherwise advised for medical reasons. - Sexual acts should be avoided especially during 1st n last trimester of pregnancy for more queries, contact us.
