Can you still have sex during pregnancy? Couples must learn several techniques for sexual intercourse during pregnancy

1、 Pregnancy sexual life skills

During pregnancy, there is no need for special abstinence, and couples can still maintain sexual activity, but the following precautions should be taken:

1. The sexual position adopted: A study by scholar EKWO et al. pointed out that during pregnancy, couples who adopt male to female sexual positions are prone to early dehydration, which is twice as likely as other sexual positions. Therefore, avoiding squeezing the protruding abdomen of the pregnant woman is an important principle.

2. Sexual skills adopted: Avoid blowing into the vagina during oral sex to prevent air from seeping into the blood of pregnant women, causing Amniotic fluid embolism and causing death of pregnant women. There are case reports in medicine, so try to avoid it.

In addition, is there any limit on the risk and frequency of intense sexual activity for the fetus? There is no absolute correlation between the frequency of sexual intercourse and premature birth. Even if the gestational age is 36 weeks, it does not have a significant impact. In other words, having more sexual intercourse may not necessarily lead to miscarriage or premature birth. As long as the pregnant woman's physical strength permits and the husband and wife coordinate well, the frequency can be determined by themselves; As for the intensity, whether Orgasm is reached or not will not harm the fetus.

Most people are concerned about sexual behavior affecting fetal health, causing premature birth or miscarriage, which is mainly due to psychological factors of pregnant women and traditional beliefs.

2、 How to arrange sexual activity during pregnancy

1. Early pregnancy should appropriately reduce sexual activity

After pregnancy, women's requirements for sexual activity and sexual response decrease due to changes in endocrine function, early pregnancy reactions, and consideration of the impact on the embryo. In the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, due to the immature placenta, the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not yet tight, and on the other hand, the secretion of progesterone is insufficient to provide strong maintenance for the embryo. At this time, engaging in sexual activity may lead to miscarriage.

Health Tip: It is best to have sex 1 to 4 times a month in the early stages of pregnancy. When having sex, you should adopt a posture that does not oppress the abdomen, such as the Missionary position where the husband's arm is straight, the cross position or the expansion position that does not oppress the abdomen. The action should be relaxed to avoid severe stimulation. Husbands should care and forgive their wives, and try to minimize sexual activity in the early stages of pregnancy for the health of the mother and child.

2. Moderate sexual activity during mid pregnancy

In mid pregnancy, the placenta has formed and the pregnancy is relatively stable; The early pregnancy reaction has also passed, and sexual desire has increased, allowing for moderate sexual activity. Moderate sexual activity during mid pregnancy is beneficial for the love between spouses and the healthy development of the fetus. Research at home and abroad has shown that during pregnancy, couples have harmonious and loving relationships, and pregnant women feel happy. This can effectively promote the growth and development of the fetus, and the children born are responsive, language developed, and physically healthy. But sexual activity is not necessarily more beneficial, and it should be arranged reasonably. Pay attention to the posture and frequency of sexual intercourse to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.
