Description
What if one of the most powerful tools that helps support a healthy pregnancy, reduces the risk of complications and promotes a smooth transition to parenthood is already within your relationship—and you’ve been told to avoid it?
In this groundbreaking and compassionate guide, renowned obstetrician Dr. Hilda Alfred tackles the unspoken questions and quiet fears surrounding intimacy during pregnancy. Moving far beyond a simple “yes” or “no” on safety, she reveals intimacy as a vital, evidence-based pillar of prenatal wellness. Through compelling patient stories and scientific insight, this book transforms intimacy from a source of worry into a proactive strategy for nurturing your body, calming your mind, and strengthening the family you are building.
