Engaging in intimacy during pregnancy offers several advantages, both physiological and emotional. It can help you relax and get a restful night’s sleep. Additionally, certain components in Spèrm can alleviate discomfort for pregnant women, potentially facilitating the birthing process.

Medical research has identified five benefits of intimacy during pregnancy, as reported by Medicalnewstoday:

1. Lowered blood pressure:

While engaging in sèxual activity may cause a temporary drop in blood pressure, it is not a reliable treatment. It is crucial to work with your doctor to develop a plan to prevent or manage high blood pressure, as it can pose risks to both you and your baby.

2. Easier labor and recovery:

According to healthline Having an orgasm causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract, promoting their development, which is beneficial for labor and postpartum recovery. Jeanne Faulkner, a registered nurse from Portland, Oregon, and the author of “Common Sense Pregnancy: Navigating a Healthy Pregnancy and Birth for Mother and Baby,” explains that this can make it easier for your child to navigate through those muscles during delivery.

3. Stress relief:

While pregnancy is generally a joyful time, concerns about career, finances, and the impending life changes can be overwhelming. Orgasms trigger the release of oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which can help you relax and sleep better.

4. Prevention of complications:

According to a Danish study, regular sèxual activity during pregnancy may help prevent pre-eclampsia. It is believed that a protein present in Spèrm can regulate the body’s immune system, contributing to this protective effect. As the cause of pre-eclampsia remains unknown, it is important to attend all prenatal appointments and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

5. Reduced frequency of bathroom visits:

Are you experiencing a frequent urge to use the restroom? During pregnancy, it is common to make multiple trips to the bathroom and even experience urine leakage when sneezing or laughing. As your baby grows and puts pressure on your bladder, this can become more uncomfortable. Strengthening the same muscles needed for labor can also aid in better urine flow, as suggested by Tammy Nelson, PhD, author of “Getting the Sèx You Want.”

In summary, intimacy during pregnancy can bring various benefits. However, it is crucial to communicate openly with your healthcare provider and address any concerns or complications that may arise….CONTINUE READING
