Saliva and Pregnancy: Is It Safe to Use as Lubricant?

Saliva is not harmful to a baby during intercourse. However, it is not recommended as a lubricant, as it is not as effective as other lubricants and can cause discomfort. Additionally, saliva can contain bacteria that could potentially cause infection in the vagina or uterus. It is best to use a water-based lubricant specifically designed for intercourse during pregnancy.
