Specializes in Internal Medicine

Maybe a problem: Low amniotic fluid of itself can be a problem even without a leak. Sexual activity in pregnant women is not necessarily contraindicated but where you are term wise and low amniotic fluid, your obstetrician may want you not to. This is a question you should ask the obstetrician that is watching you and baby.
