Could you please explain why i am experiencing vaginal dryness during sex. I am seven months pregnant and the dryness has been there all through this period. I would also like to know whether this state will abate after the baby is born.

Vaginal dryness is totally normal during pregnancy. reduced estrogen levels are the main cause of vaginal dryness. This hormone keeps vaginal tissue healthy by maintaining a normal vaginal acidity level which creates a natural defense against infections. When the hormone level decreases, so does this natural defense and the amount of vaginal lubrication.There is nothing to worry about.
And the good news is, after you have your baby, all your plumbing will be back to great working condition.
Congratulations to you and your (almost new) family.
