There is a general list of indications for sexual rest. The nuances may vary, and the final decision on whether the expectant mother can have sex is made only by her attending physician - each pregnancy is so individual. Sex should be avoided if the following complications occur during pregnancy:
• threat of interruption (including hematoma or bleeding);
• amniotic fluid leaks;
• the placenta is located dangerously close to the cervix;
• too short or too early dilated cervix;
• infectious diseases in father or mother.
