But before you dive into it (pun intended), there is a slight risk that accompanies performing oral sex when your wife is pregnant. Known as an air embolism, this is where an air bubble is introduced into your wife’s vagina which can then block one of her blood vessels, harming her or your baby.
This can happen if you blow air into her vagina, which is possible if you insert your tongue into her vagina and breathe out.
