Should I Lie Flat After Sex to Increase My Chances of Getting Pregnant?

Womens Health Does Lying Flat Increase Chances to Conceive

No, unless you want to. The myth of “lying flat on your back will help you get pregnant” is a very common misbelief that is simply not true. A sperm that may fertilize an egg will not “leak out” of your body. The bottom line is that lying flat does not increase your chances of conceiving.

If you plan on conceiving, please contact us for an appointment. We will give you a well visit exam, get your started with pre-natal care, and answer any questions. Contact Women’s Health in West Bloomfield today to schedule an appointment with an OB/GYN.
