Common fears of miscarriage due to sex during the first trimester of pregnancy are unnecessary, says the founder of a fertility website.<\/p>\n

According to research by FertilityFlower.com, 23 per cent of parents-to-be stopped being intimate during the first three months, mainly due to fears of harming their baby.<\/p>\n

The side effects of nausea and tiredness also put off 21 per cent who simply didn’t feel like it.<\/p>\n

Men were found to feel more concerned about harming their baby, with 38 per cent fretting compared to just 12 per cent of women.<\/p>\n

FertilityFlower.com founder, Kimberly Ann Racic said: \u201cCarrying a child is a special time in a woman\u2019s life. Many feel vulnerable during pregnancy and often her partner will pick up on that vibe, prompting a strong protective streak. \u00a0I suspect that this is the basis for the fear that respondents mentioned and their concern about the safety of the child.\u00a0However, unless their healthcare professional directs the couple to behave otherwise, there is no medical reason to avoid intercourse at any point during the pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
