Sex danger
The widely held view that it is safe for pregnant women to have sex is questioned by a study that found a higher incidence of infection leading to premature birth and fatal complicatians in infants whose mothers had intercourse while pregnant. The study, based on a review' of 26.886 pregnancies ; between 1959 and 1966 found that newborn infants were two to three times more likely to die from infection if their mothers had intercourse during pregnancy. The study, conducted by Dr Richard Naeye of the M.S. Hershey Medical Centre |in Hershey, Pennsylvannia. was published in the “New England Journal of MediIcine.”—Boston.
