Question
Hello. I'm a 32 year old woman and I'm 6 months pregnant. Me and my husband are swingers so I have sex with multiple men every day. However, I know for a fact that I'm carrying my husband's baby because the first time that I had vaginal sex with a man besides my husband was after I was pregnant. I have vaginal sex with many men daily and I am curious if this can have any negative effect on my pregnancy... Can it? I have never used a condom in my life but I will start using condoms after I have this baby because then it'll be possible for me to get pregnant again. Yesterday, I had vaginal sex with over 30 different men in a row and they all ejaculated their cum in my vagina. I know that I shouldn't be worried about getting pregnant by them because I'm already pregnant but I'm concerned if them ejaculating their cum in my vagina can have some kind of negative effect on the upcoming baby's health. So, can it?

Answer
Catherine,


Yes, this can have serious negative effects on your health and on your pregnancy since you're having random sex without a condom.


You are putting yourself at serious risk of developing a sexually transmitted disease, infection, and at risk of contracting HIV, for which there is still no cure.


You have no idea if the men you're sleeping with are infected and the odds are great that at some point, one of them will be as you are all engaging in high-risk behavior for the transmission of STDs, infections, and HIV.


Not only can these conditions permanently harm you, but they could also cause preterm labor, infection, or some of them can be transmitted to the baby at birth, causing complications such as blindness, etc.


I strongly urge you to consider your actions and stop putting yourself and your baby at risk.  If you continue to not use any form of barrier protection, then you are putting your baby's and your own life in danger.


Hoping you reconsider your actions,
Catherine
