Safe Intimacy During Pregnancy: Positions & Alternatives in the Third Trimester
It's generally advised that couples avoid vaginal intercourse in the last trimester of pregnancy (weeks 28-40). This is because vaginal intercourse can put pressure on the cervix, which can lead to premature labor or other complications.
As an alternative, couples may choose to explore other forms of physical intimacy during the last trimester. This could include cuddling, kissing, or self-stimulation.
