Most women can continue to engage in sexual activity during pregnancy, including sexual intercourse.[1] Most research suggests that during pregnancy both sexual desire and frequency of sexual relations decrease.[2][3] In context of this overall decrease in desire, some studies indicate a second-trimester increase, preceding a decrease during the third trimester.[4][5]
Sex during pregnancy is a low-risk behavior except when the healthcare provider advises that sexual intercourse be avoided for particular medical reasons.[1] For a healthy pregnant woman, there is a variety of safe ways to have sex during pregnancy.[1]
