Direct guidance
What to know or do
No amount of sexual interest is required. Use clear consent, adjust expectations and choose other forms of closeness; contact care if distress, pain, depression or relationship pressure is driving the change.
What changes the answer
- Consent, comfort, infection exposure and the activity involved
- Bleeding, pain, fluid loss, placenta or preterm-birth concerns
- Any individual restriction or treatment plan from maternity care
General guidance
When to get individual help
This is a general pregnancy baseline, not personal clearance. Change course and ask for advice if symptoms, complications or an individual care plan make the situation different.
