I’m Going to Have a Baby

 
What About Sex?
I always use a condom now, I’m not ready for another baby yet!

Having sex with your pregnant partner won’t harm the baby. But you might have to get imaginative, when her bump gets bigger!

She might not feel like it. It doesn’t mean she’s gone off you!

Discuss and sort out your contraception needs, before the baby arrives.

The doctors usually suggest you wait at least 6 weeks after the birth before starting to have sex again.
