Can intercourse cause labour to start?
A. No. Labour will begin naturally at the end of a normal pregnancy. Intercourse is usually safe until labour begins. Should labour start following intercourse, it is simply a coincidence and not a cause of premature or early labour. Q. Does pregnancy affect a womans sexual desire, needs and satisfaction? A. Perhaps. A woman experiences many hormonal, physical and emotional changes throughout her pregnancy. The following are examples of these changes as they may occur in each trimester.
