I am 30 years old and pregnant. This is my first pregnancy. I am in my 25th week. Last 5th month scan showed low lying placenta. Is sex safe for me? Or it will be harmful. Thanks in advance.

If you have a low-lying placenta you may be advised to avoid having sex during pregnancy, particularly if you have been bleeding. This includes anal sex. There is only a thin wall of tissue separating your vagina from your rectum so anal sex may push against the placenta, causing heavy bleeding.
