The pair’s sneaky sex session was overheard by a cleaner, who reported ‘moans’ coming from the hospital room.
Bosses at St Michaels Hospital in Bristol were informed, but it was revealed that there are no rules against having sex on a hospital ward.
The Sun reported that the hospital’s policy is for couples to put a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door when they want some ‘alone time’.
A source told the newspaper: “Other patients on the unit heard the commotion and were upset. The cleaner was utterly shocked.
“She was amazed to be told it was OK. The hospital's advice appears to be just to put a sign up - amazing.'
Along with spicy food and herbal tea, sexual intercourse is thought to be a way in which to help naturally induce labour.
Despite this, NHS advice says: “You may have heard that certain things can trigger labour, such as herbal supplements and having sex, but there is no evidence that these work.
“Having sex won't cause harm, but you should avoid having sex if your waters have broken as there is an increased risk of infection.”
