Is it safe to swallow semen during pregnancy?
Is it safe to swallow semen during pregnancy?
Expert Answers
Deborah Ehrenthal, assistant residency program director of obstetrics and gynecology, Christiana Care Health System in Wilmington, DE
Yes. But remember that semen is a way to spread HIV, so you would need to be sure that your partner is free of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. If you're not sure, then you'll need to use a condom or avoid oral sex.
Gina Brown, medical director of Cicatelli Associates, New York, NY
There's no danger to the baby from the semen itself. As long as you're in a monogamous relationship and know that your partner is free of STDs, there's no risk. If your partner is HIV-positive, it's not safe because the virus is present in semen, and you and your baby could become infected if you swallow it.

My husband and I are both clean as far as STD's go, and I know it's safe, but something about knowing the baby is going to be swallowing it too in some sense creeps me out. I never had a problem before but not now, I'll wait until after the baby is born.
