Can I still have sex when I'm pregnant?

Can you still have sex after you get pregnant? You may be afraid of affecting the fetus or alienating your husband. It would be pitiful for the father to hold back during the entire pregnancy. Many pregnant mothers are also very worried about this. Regarding sex during pregnancy, it is important to be aware of these in advance to avoid blindly following trends and worrying.

1. Don’t neglect time

It is recommended to avoid having sex in the early and late stages of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, the embryo has not yet fully grown and developed, and the baby's roots have not yet been firmly established. Improper sexual intercourse can easily lead to miscarriage. In the late pregnancy, the fetus is too large, the mother's body burden is increased, the fetal head position is lowered, and sexual intercourse is likely to cause physical discomfort to the mother. In serious cases, it may cause premature birth. The relatively safe time for sexual intercourse during pregnancy is in the second trimester, so expectant parents should be aware of this early.

2. Pay more attention to your posture

The human body during pregnancy is different from the past. Parents-to-be can no longer do as they please during intercourse as before. They need to pay more attention to the intercourse postures. Avoid squeezing the pregnant mother's abdomen and avoid making the pregnant mother too tired. In addition, the pregnant mother's breasts should not be stimulated too much, so as not to cause uterine contractions and affect the fetus. Pregnant fathers should be more impatient and be gentle to their pregnant wives.

3. Do I need to wear a condom during pregnancy?

Although ovulation will stop during pregnancy, you don't have to worry about getting pregnant again after having sex. However, wearing a condom during pregnancy also has certain benefits. Affected by the changes in hormones in the body, the immunity of the pregnant mother's private parts decreases. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during intercourse, it is easy to cause infection in the pregnant mother's private parts. If the infection worsens, the fetus will also suffer. During pregnancy, if you do not wear a condom during sex, prospective parents must ensure proper hygiene.

Prospective parents can pay more attention to the above three aspects and don't have to worry too much during sex. There are actually many benefits to having sex during pregnancy, which expectant parents should also understand.

1. Improve the relationship between husband and wife

Sexual intercourse is also a way for couples to communicate, which is triggered by physiological needs. It would be pitiful if the pregnant father held back during the entire pregnancy, and it also increased the risk of cheating during pregnancy. If the expectant father can gain his wife's understanding and put himself in her shoes, it will help enhance the relationship between the couple, and the expectant father may also love the expectant mother more.

2. Reduce the anxiety of pregnant mothers

Sexual intercourse is also a way for couples to communicate intimately, which can help pregnant mothers let go of their avoidance mentality, be more sure that their husbands love them, and make themselves more confident, less likely to have wild thoughts and excessive worries.

3. Good for both pregnant mothers and fetuses

If the couple's private life is harmonious and the pregnant mother is in a good mood, it will also have a good influence on the fetus and can promote the development of the fetus. In addition, male sperm has antibacterial effects, and paying attention to hygiene during intercourse is helpful in improving the resistance of pregnant mothers. Harmonious intercourse between husband and wife can stimulate the secretion of oxytocin in the pregnant mother's body and make natural childbirth more successful.

Of course, because the detailed circumstances of each prospective parent are different, the prospective parents still need to communicate more, and the pregnant father should also pay more attention to the wishes of the pregnant wife.
