Q: Thank you ma’am. Follow-up question ma’am, if super- fetation occur,what will happen during child delivery? Can they be called twins?

Q: Good evening Dr. I am pregnant now and I don’t like having sex. I hope am not causing problem to myself and the baby. Secondly, is it true that having sex will help my vagina to be open during child birth for easy delivery? Thanks

A: And to round off our discussion on sexual intercourse during pregnancy and super-fetation, I will take on the last set of unresolved questions.

Are the children called twins if superfetation occurs? Yes. It’s just that when born, one may look slightly older than the other. Remember that the dates of conception are different and so the obstetrician has to take a decision as to the best time to deliver them so that both of them have equal chances of survival.

The issue of having sexual intercourse has been exhaustively treated. You’re not causing any harm to the baby but it’s possible that you may be creating a distance between yourself and your hubby if your decision or reason for it have not been well communicated to hubby. Communication is VERY important, not just in this issue but all other marriage issues 😀

Will having sex help your vagina stay open for easy delivery? No. With or without sex, a woman would deliver vaginally if she has no conditions that might make her more likely to have a C-section.

So, there you go. Have a good night y’all 😀
