Goodday, please I want to know if there is/are any harms for my pregnant wife or our unborn child when we make love using the missionary style because that’s the “only style” which my wife can use.

Please, note that the pregnancy is in the seventh going to eighth month.

Secondly, is it true that a pregnant woman must keep having sex in order to aid her delivery (i.e for the vagina  not to be tightened/ shrinked during birth)?

Finally, I do appreciate how you have been a blessing to vitually all household that have come across you. May God continue to enrich and enhance you in all aspects of your life

Thanks for your prayers. You can use any position that is comfortable for you and your wife.

Unless your wife has a history of premature delivery or abortion, sex during pregnancy is not, in any way, harmful to your wife and child.

Regarding your second question, there is no truth in the assertion that “a pregnant woman must keep having sex in order to aid her delivery.”

The truth is that due to the fatigue and discomfort of pregnancy, many pregnant women are not as sexually active as before, so, the question of having regular sex does not arise.

Equally too, women don’t need sex to aid their delivery.
