Must we be celibate during pregnancy?

[Spez111]

Hi,

My wife an I are both Roman Catholic. We have been practicing NFP. We have been blessed that my wife is pregnant. My question is during the 9 months while she is pregnant are we still morally ok to have marital relations as long as it does not harm the baby? Do we need to abstain? Are we allowed to be close to each other but not have full marital relations?

Thanks,

Hi,

Morally, there is no problem so long as there are no medical problems involved.
