A member asked:

I was diagnosed with placenta previa at 20 weeks and was told no sex, i am now 27 weeks. can my husband put in just the tip or rub around my vagina?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Placenta previa: I would abstain from anything in the vagina. The concern is any possible pressure on the cervix could cause an emergency situation. Find other ways for sexual release.
