Having sex when you are pregnant even has some benefits!

According to studies, sex increases the IgA, an antibody, that helps keep colds, infections and other health problems at bay. One needs to be really careful about contracting illness during pregnancy and if sex can help you do that, then why not?

Sex during pregnancy can give powerful and sensual orgasms. And in the process, orgasms release endorphins into the body that will help you and your baby feel relaxed and happy. You will feel calm and at peace.

Improved labour during pregnancy

When you have orgasms, the contractions of your pelvic muscles strengthen the part, easing labour pain in the process. It also improves bladder control which will prevent any accidental leaks during labour. This can also lead to a quicker and healthy recovery after giving birth.
