Sex? During pregnancy? Why not?
As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, Dr. Marco Martinez, an OB/GYN with the Elmhurst Clinic, says there is no harm in having sex – which often comes as a relief to both mom and dad-to-be.

Are we into being trendy and spa-like? No. Are we into bringing your baby into the world in the surest, safest way possible? Absolutely.
At Elmhurst Memorial Hospital we believe in having your baby when the time is right, and in being ready when the time comes. So you can expect a highly trained team led by your OB/GYN doctor to be there 24/7, ready to welcome your baby into the world. Sure you'll have fresh-baked cookies, a big beautiful birthing suite and a complimentary dinner waiting for you. But we all know the real treat is yet to come. Rock on, baby!
