Sex during the Last Trimester

Is intercourse allowed during the last few months of pregnancy

There are divided views on this subject. Mostly, neither orgasms or intercourse can precipitate labour, so in normal cases, it is permitted. But in the case of high risk pregnancies, it can trigger premature labour, premature rupture of the amniotic membranes or even an infection. So do check with your doctor because he knows you best. Even if he does permit it, you must use condoms as the prostaglandins in semen pose as irritants to the cervix and could result in contractions. So the safest bet is to make love without actually making love e.g. hugging, romantic dinners, bathing together or a simple massage.
