In general, there is no objection to having sexual intercourse during pregnancy. However, if cramping or spotting occurs after intercourse, sexual activity should be avoided for a while. Additionally, in cases of threatened miscarriage, sexual intercourse should be avoided.
Orgasm can cause contractions in the late stages of pregnancy and may trigger labor. Therefore, sexual activity should be prohibited, especially in patients with a history of preterm birth or those experiencing vaginal bleeding.
