If you're pregnant or even planning a pregnancy, you've probably found an
abundance of information about sex before pregnancy (that is, having sex in
order to conceive) and sex after childbirth (general consensus: expect a less
active sex life when there's a newborn in the house).
However, there's less talk about the topic of sex during pregnancy,
perhaps because of our culture's tendency to dissociate expectant mothers from
sexuality. Like many parents-to-be, you may have questions about the safety of
sex and what's normal for most couples. Well, what's normal tends to vary
widely, but you can count on the fact that there will be changes in your
sex life. Open communication will be the key to a satisfying and safe sexual
relationship during pregnancy.
