Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Sometimes intercourse during the advanced pregnancy can lead to premature rupture of membranes.
So, if the pain persists and if you notice leakage of water like fluid, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
Go for ultrasound.
If no leak identified during examination and all ultrasound findings are normal, no need to worry.
Better to avoid intercourse till delivery.
If premature rupture of membranes with amniotic leak is identified, management should be planned accordingly.
