Sex During Pregnancy : Pregnancy is a beautiful phase for women as well as a time full of challenges. Along with physical and mental health, it can also be emotionally challenging. During this time, one has to think about the safety of the child even before taking a tablet or doing any exercise. In such a situation, many women are confused about sexual life. To know how right or wrong it is to have a physical relationship with your partner during pregnancy, NDTV had a special conversation with sexual health expert Dr. Nidhi Jha.

During pregnancy, women have to be careful in every aspect. Should one have sex during pregnancy or not, is there any risk to the child? Such questions arise in the mind of every pregnant woman. Dr. Nidhi Jha says that if we answer this question in one line, then sex is completely safe during pregnancy, but it is not right to proceed in this direction without the guidance of your gynecologist. Compared to the first and last trimester, the second trimester is considered the safest time for sex.

Dr. Nidhi says that having sex can be risky in case of placenta placement, high miscarriage risk and other serious complications. Consult your gynecologist before moving ahead in this direction. Guide your sex life during pregnancy only with proper guidance and as per the advice of the gynecologist based on the complications of pregnancy.

In Ayushmann Khurrana's film Doctor Ji, a woman is seen asking her gynecologist to put an extra stitch. In response to this question, Dr. Nidhi says that after delivery, the vagina becomes loose. She told that there is a small space in the vagina for the penis to enter, but when the baby comes out from there, a little looseness is inevitable, but it can be treated with proper exercise and right guidance.

The doctor said that apart from this, infection in the stitches applied after delivery, one extra or one less stitch also causes looseness in the post pregnancy vagina. Immediately after delivery, ovulation does not occur in women and the hormones are not very active. Due to this, vaginal dryness occurs, which can cause problems in sex. Dr. Nidhi says that all these problems can be treated. You just have to go to your gynecologist.
