A member asked:
Is it possible for rough sex during early pregnancy to cause air embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never heard of that: Doubtful, but i guess anything is possible. One of the causes listed in the literature for free air in the abdomen is "rough sex." i guess one could translate that to the possibility of air embolism.
