Use contraception. When you're on your period, you're at higher risk for STDs and pelvic infections. What's more, you're less likely to get pregnant, sure, but it's not impossible. So if you thought this was your ticket to ride, sorry -- you still gotta stay safe.
The more partners you have, the more likely you are to catch a STD. Practice monogamy. This means having sex with only one person. That person must also have sex with only you to reduce your risk. Choose your sex partners with care. Don't have sex with someone whom you suspect may have a STD or who has many sexual partners. Get checked for STDs. Don't risk giving the infection to someone else or your baby. Just because you've been screened for STDs early on in your pregnancy, does not mean that you can't contract one later during your pregnancy.
