Several important points to note about sex during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the blood vessels in the vagina and uterine mucosa of pregnant women become thicker and more congested, making them prone to injury and bleeding. Therefore, you must be cautious and avoid using unreasonable positions or performing sexual intercourse roughly. You should also pay attention to bacterial infections caused by sexual intercourse.

During pregnancy, secretions increase, and the vulva's resistance to bacteria is not only weakened, but also prone to ulceration. If the symptoms worsen due to bacterial infection, there is a risk of miscarriage. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping the local area clean at ordinary times, and you must pay special attention before sexual intercourse. Husbands should also pay attention to this point.

1. Before going to bed, you should maintain good personal hygiene

Everyone knows that not paying attention to hygiene can easily lead to bacterial infection, so we generally pay more attention to it. But at the same time, hand hygiene is often neglected. In fact, during sex, if unclean hands come into contact with sexual organs, it can also cause bacterial infection. Therefore, before having sex, you must thoroughly wash your palms and nails, and develop the habit of trimming your nails frequently.

2. Don’t make foreplay too intense

Some pregnant women may experience abdominal bloating due to excessive nipple stimulation, so try to avoid excessive breast caressing. Especially when fluid discharge from the nipple occurs, it is best not to stimulate the breast further. In addition, try to avoid caressing the vagina too vigorously.

3. Choose a position that does not compress the abdomen, and the husband should be gentle

If a position makes you feel pain, discomfort, or abdominal pressure, do not force yourself to endure it, but change to another position immediately. In addition, semen contains prostaglandins that cause the uterus to contract. Therefore, pregnant women who have had a caesarean section or premature birth, or pregnant women who are prone to abdominal swelling, should have their husbands wear condoms during sex.

4. If you feel severe pain, you should temporarily stop

If you feel abdominal distension or pain, you should take a break. After the swelling goes away, you can continue having sex. In addition, pregnant women sometimes feel uncomfortable when having sex in a supine position due to a drop in blood pressure. At this time, they should temporarily interrupt and rest, and tilt their body left and right appropriately, and the discomfort will gradually disappear.

The above is a detailed introduction to several important precautions for sexual life during pregnancy. We also need to pay attention and take care of them in our daily lives, and do a good job of prevention to avoid miscarriage due to sexual life.
