A member asked:

Is it safe doing sex during 9th month pregnancy? if yes, can sperm be left inside during 9th month pregnancy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, safe: Yes, it's perfectly safe. Your cervix has a thick mucus plug that prevents entry to pathologic agents. It also prevents sperm from getting in. Sperm left inside the vagina die within a matter of a few hours due to the acidic nature of that environment.
