Can you have intercourse during pregnancy?
The enjoyment of sexual life by both husband and wife is not only a physiological need but also a prerequisite for family harmony. However, after women become pregnant, physical changes can bring some inconvenience. So, can you have intercourse during pregnancy? Regarding this issue, we invite the gynecological experts from Xi'an Sanqin Hospital to answer for everyone:
Experts point out that in the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, intercourse should be avoided to prevent miscarriage. In the middle stage of pregnancy, when the condition of the fetus and the pregnant woman is more stable, it can be determined according to the situation. Moderate sexual activity during pregnancy is acceptable and helps enhance the affection between both partners.
How should sexual activity be arranged during pregnancy?
In early pregnancy, sexual activity should be appropriately reduced. In the first three months of pregnancy, due to the placenta not yet being fully developed, the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight, and there is insufficient secretion of progesterone, which cannot provide strong protection for the embryo. At this time, sexual activity may cause a miscarriage.
In mid-pregnancy, the placenta has formed, and the pregnancy is relatively stable; morning sickness has passed, and libido increases, so sexual activity can be moderately engaged in. Moderate sexual activity during mid-pregnancy is beneficial for spousal affection and the healthy development of the fetus.
Pregnant women should pay attention to self-regulation, avoid excessive excitement, to prevent triggering a miscarriage. In late pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided as much as possible.
In late pregnancy, the abdomen of the pregnant woman becomes significantly swollen, and the body shape and weight undergo obvious changes, making the body cumbersome, with soreness in the lower back and back pain, and decreased libido. The sensitivity of the uterus increases, and any external stimulation, even mild impact, can easily cause uterine contractions, leading to premature birth. Therefore, experts point out that moderate sexual activity is acceptable for pregnant women, but attention must be paid to the body.
