Having sex when you are pregnant even has some benefits!

When you have orgasms, the contractions of your pelvic muscles strengthen the part, easing labour pain in the process. It also improves bladder control which will prevent any accidental leaks during labour. This can also lead to a quicker and healthy recovery after giving birth.
