Can a 5-month pregnant woman have sex?

Being pregnant is a happy but also difficult life for women. Happiness comes from the birth of a new life, and hardship comes from the fact that pregnant mothers have to go through such a long process of ten months of pregnancy. So, can expectant mothers have sex when they are five months pregnant? With such doubts, let's take a look at the detailed explanation.

Is it possible to have sex when you are five months pregnant?

1. In our experience, sexual intercourse is generally possible around five months of pregnancy. There is nothing wrong with having sex when you are four to eight months pregnant. It should be noted that men's posture should not press on the expectant mother's abdomen as much as possible. When the expectant mother is close to the beginning of pregnancy, that is, about 3 weeks before delivery, it is best not to have sex to avoid some infections after delivery. Especially in the case of miscarriage or premature birth, more attention should be paid to the control of sexual life of couples.

In the early stages of pregnancy, that is, from January to March, the embryo is not fully developed and is in a very unstable state, which can easily lead to miscarriage. Therefore, sexual intercourse is not allowed during this stage. Until the second half of pregnancy (that is, after April), when the embryo has fully developed, the fetus is relatively stable and the early reactions of the pregnant woman gradually subside. In this case, the couple can have sex, but they must do it moderately to avoid bacterial infection.

2. Expectant mothers should pay attention to the balance of diet during pregnancy, do not be picky about food, try to diversify it, and eat more foods containing high-quality protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Do not touch toxic substances or substances containing radioactive sources, otherwise it may cause fetal deformity. In addition, freshly ground coffee and drinks cannot be consumed, as they will cause harm to the fetus.
