1、 Can I have sex during pregnancy
Sexual activity can occur during pregnancy, but it should be done at a suitable time.
A healthy expectant mother who is 4 months pregnant can engage in moderate sexual activity. Try to avoid sexual activity in the third trimester and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse after 36 weeks of pregnancy.
During the four stages of mid pregnancy, late pregnancy, and after 36 weeks of pregnancy, sexual activity should be reduced in the early stages of pregnancy, and appropriate sexual activity should be carried out in mid pregnancy. At each stage, both spouses should understand and understand each other to ensure the safety and health of the mother and child.
Sexual activity during pregnancy is not prohibited, healthy and moderate sexual activity is not only possible, but also greatly enhances the intimate relationship between you and your husband. And after pregnancy, there is no need to worry about contraception, which can make couples more relaxed, improve their sexiness, and perhaps experience the joy of sexual intercourse more.
Early pregnancy: You probably haven't heard of it before, as expectant mothers have had sex in the early stages of pregnancy that affects their fetal health. However, some doctors may also advise you to avoid or reduce sexual activity in the first three months of pregnancy. Because this is a time when miscarriage is prone, especially for pregnant women with a high risk of miscarriage. Doctors may be concerned that the connection between the placenta and your uterine wall is not very tight during early pregnancy, and improper sexual activity may lead to uterine contractions and the possibility of miscarriage.
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. It is advisable to have sex 1-2 times a week.
Late pregnancy: After 8 months of pregnancy, the fetus grows rapidly, the uterus enlarges significantly, and is very sensitive to any external stimuli. In China, it is advocated for couples in the late stages of pregnancy to stop sexual activity as much as possible to avoid accidents. Sexual activity in late pregnancy does not induce premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, or vaginal infections. Even in twin pregnancies, late sexual activity does not increase the likelihood of premature birth. On the other hand, as the gestational age increases, the body shape of pregnant women will change, and their activities will gradually be restricted. In the later stage, low back pain, fatigue, and other reasons may occur, so it is best to avoid sexual activity.
