title: Sexuality during pregnancy.
abstract: While pregnancy is a major event in most couples' lives, there are no predictable changes in sexuality. Fears of damaging the fetus are unwarranted, even during the last weeks of pregnancy, provided there are no complications. Meticulous episiotomy technique can lessen the healing time and allow the couple to resume mutually satisfying intercourse sooner.
