The things you read everyday! A heavily pregnant woman and her partner
were caught having sex in a hospital bed in the UK while waiting to have
their baby induced, Daily Mail reports
The mother and father were discovered by a cleaner who heard moaning coming from a private room on the maternity ward.
The
worker told hospital bosses what she had found but was informed there
are no rules against having sex on the ward at St Michael's Hospital, in
Bristol. (picture above)
The hospital's policy is for frisky couples to put a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door, The Sun reported.
A
hospital source said: 'Other patients on the unit heard the commotion
and were upset. The cleaner was utterly shocked. She was amazed to be
told it was OK. The hospital's advice appears to be just to put a sign
up - amazing.'
Like herbal remedies and eating spicy food, sex is said to help induce labour in some cases.
However,
NHS advice says: 'You may have heard that certain things can trigger
labour, such as herbal supplements and having sex, but there is no
evidence that these work.
'Having
sex won't cause harm, but you should avoid having sex if your waters
have broken as there is an increased risk of infection.'
