For many, being pregnant is a visa to the world of no sex, forgetting that the act has numerous health benefits for the unborn child.
Though it can be uncomfortable because of the belly, the benefits outweigh the discomfort—as such, pregnant women have been advised to engage in sex throughout their pregnancy.
According to Graphic;
Madam Ayishetu Abudulai, a midwife at the Tamale West Hospital (TWH), has advised pregnant women to continue to engage their partners in sexual intercourse to make their unborn babies healthy and to ensure smooth delivery.
She explained that sex in pregnancy was very good because it builds bonds among the couple, and gives them the urge to take full responsibility of the baby during and after pregnancy, adding, “It eases labour and helps in smooth delivery.”
