Can I Use A Lubricant During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is such an exciting and unique time, but it also comes with a flood of questions about what you should or shouldn't do. While there's plenty of information out there about diet and exercise during pregnancy, advice on sexual activity, particularly the use of lubricants, isn't as widespread. The good news is that using lube during pregnancy is generally considered safe by doctors. Your cervix is tightly closed, which prevents anything, including lubricant, from reaching your baby. However, it's crucial to choose a lubricant made with pregnancy-safe ingredients. Many common lubes contain chemicals that should be avoided during pregnancy, such as parabens, glycerin, propylene glycol, and synthetic fragrances. These ingredients can cause irritation, disrupt your body’s natural balance, or introduce unnecessary chemicals into your system. Opting for a lubricant that's free from these potentially harmful ingredients like Glissant Hydratant D'Amour or Eau D'Amour ensures you and your baby stay safe while you maintain comfort and intimacy during this special time.
