NHS video: Sex in pregnancy

In this NHS video, a Head of Midwifery explains what you need to know

It's perfectly safe to have sex during pregnancy unless your doctor or midwife has told you not to.

Having sex will not hurt your baby. Your partner's penis can't penetrate beyond your vagina, and the baby cannot tell what's going on.

A Head of Midwifery at the NHS explains what you need to know in this NHS video.
