Sexual life should be arranged in different stages of pregnancy

You probably haven't heard that expectant mothers' sexual activity in early pregnancy affects the health of the fetus. However, some doctors may also advise you to avoid or reduce sexual activity during the first three months of pregnancy.

Sexual activity in early pregnancy?

You probably haven't heard that expectant mothers' sexual activity in early pregnancy affects the health of the fetus. However, some doctors may also advise you to avoid or reduce sexual activity during the first three months of pregnancy. Because this is a time when miscarriage is prone to occur, especially for pregnant women who are at high risk of miscarriage. What the doctor may be concerned about is that in the early stages of pregnancy, the placenta is not yet tightly connected to your uterine wall. If you have improper sexual intercourse, it may cause uterine contractions and lead to the possibility of miscarriage.

Sexual activity during pregnancy?

In the second half of pregnancy, the placenta has been formed and the pregnancy is relatively stable; the early pregnancy reaction has passed, sexual desire has increased, and you can have moderate sex. Moderate sexual life during the second trimester is beneficial to the love between husband and wife and the healthy development of the fetus. Domestic and foreign research shows that: if the couple has a harmonious and loving relationship during pregnancy and the pregnant woman is in a good mood, it can effectively promote the growth and development of the fetus, and the baby will be born with quick reactions, language development and good health. However, more sex life is not necessarily better. It must be arranged reasonably and attention must be paid to sexual postures and frequency to avoid adverse effects on the fetus. It is advisable to have sexual intercourse 1-2 times a week.

Sexual activity in late pregnancy?

After eight months of pregnancy, the fetus grows rapidly, the uterus enlarges significantly, and is very sensitive to any external stimulation. In our country, couples in the late stages of pregnancy are advised to stop having sex as much as possible to avoid accidents. Sexual intercourse in late pregnancy will not induce premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, or vaginal infection. Even in a twin pregnancy, sexual intercourse in late pregnancy will not increase the possibility of premature birth.

In the United States, 73% of pregnant women have sexual intercourse during their late pregnancy, which is much higher than the 28.4% in my country. The childbearing age is a period of vigorous sexual activity. For pregnant women, on the one hand, they worry that sexual intercourse will affect the fetus. On the other hand, as the gestational weeks increase, the pregnant woman's body shape will change and her activities will gradually be restricted. Back pain, fatigue and other reasons in the late pregnancy are all reasons why couples in my country dare not have sex in the late pregnancy.

After 36 weeks of pregnancy, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited because the fetus begins to descend and sexual intercourse will cause the cervix to open, triggering bacterial infection and causing premature rupture of membranes, premature birth and intrauterine infection.
