Is there any time doctors advise against intercourse during pregnancy?
If vaginal bleeding, an incompetent cervix, preterm labor, or placenta previa (a placenta that covers the cervical opening) develops at any point in your pregnancy, your doctor will most likely advise against intercourse. Also, if you’re expecting twins, your doctor may advise you to abstain from intercourse during the late second and early third trimesters, when the consequences of preterm birth are greatest. Your doctor may also recommend abstinence during the last weeks of pregnancy as a precaution.
