Where does sperm go during pregnancy?

[sl07]

Does it reach the foetus? I'm just curious as I can't find anything on Google that tells me what happens to it...

Why is this on your mind?! It can’t get to the foetus because it can’t get through the placenta

It hits the cervix and gets turned back.

The cervix will also be closed. It won’t go anywhere.

The cervix is closed. The foetus is in the sac.

Thank you :) random thoughts that were on my mind x

Same place it goes the rest of the time- out.

Even when not pregnant, only the tiniest bit enters the uterus, the rest just falls out.

Yes, I'd think the mucus plug should stop it from getting up there. I got a bit grossed out thinking about sex because I didn't want sperm to go up near the baby but I don't think it will. And even if it did it wouldn't be a huge amount of liquid, just the sperm cells themselves I'd guess.

What pp posters said, I'm thinking a closed cervix, mucus plug and the amniotic sac are all protecting baby from contact with the sperm x

Your cervix is closed and usually very high up. The sperm just flushes out and dies basically.

I've always wondered what would happen if our body's didnt stop ovulating during pregnancy and everytime you had sex you could get pregnant again.

That's my weird thought.

That can happen PregnantOnPurpose. It's called superfetation and means a woman can be carrying two babies conceived at different times. Rare though.

@ShowOfHands WHAAAAAAAA.

In gobsmacked.. and about to spend an obscene amount of hours googling this tonight.

Superfetation is common in cats! Rare in humans but still possible.

What? You do realise the baby isn't in the placenta? And the placenta doesn't necessarily block the cervix - if it did you'd have a lot more to worry about than a few sperm squeezing their way in to wriggle their tails at the baby

This would only be the reason if the sperm were in your bloodstream.
Please don't put sperm in your bloodstream.
