Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

A
reader, anonymous, writes (25 October 2010): I am not exactly sure what you're asking, but I think you're enquiring whether moral failures like cheating on a partner can cause a child to become sick.
The answer is no! Diseases are not a judgement caused by moral failings. First of all, not all diseases are infectious: things like heart disease, cancer, and genetic abnormalities are not caused by immorality. Even those diseases that are infectious are not the result of moral lapses, but rather disorders caused by agents like viruses, microbes, parasites, fungi, genetic problems, wear and tear on the body, poisons in the environment, diet etc. etc. etc. People do not get sick because they or their parents are evil. They get sick because they're unlucky and unfortunate. If a baby is sick, therefore, it is NOT a sign that a partner is cheating.
The only link between cheating and the health of a born child would be indirect. If someone was cheating with a lover who had a cold (for instance), they could catch the cold themselves, and transmit it to the child. However, the cause of the disease remains the cold virus, not the cheating. The child could equally have got sick by playing with another infected child. If (God forbid) your partner caught an STD from another partner, and passed it to you, your baby would be safe.
This is not to say that cheating doesn't damage children. It can have a very negative psychological effect on even young babies. It sets a bad example for their ideas of relationships, it may affect their confidence and trust in their parents, and it can lead to all kinds of mistrust, fears of abandonment, etc.

Well if that's what you're asking, no, the baby wont get hurt. If the person the pregnant woman is have sex with has an STD then yes it would affect the child, but if they're clean, it's VERY safe. Sex during pregnancy is actually very healthy.
