Frequency of intercourse during the second trimester

Nowadays, we all know that it is possible to have sexual intercourse during the second trimester of pregnancy. Since in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the embryo has already been produced, the pregnancy is relatively stable, the early pregnancy reaction has passed, sexual desire has increased, and the couple can have a proper life. Proper sexual intercourse during the second trimester of pregnancy is beneficial to the happiness of the couple and the healthy physical and mental growth and development of the fetus. But what are the regulations on the frequency of sexual intercourse during mid-pregnancy?

Frequency of sexual intercourse during mid-pregnancy

It is advisable for couples to have sex 1 to 2 times a week. They can have sex in positions that are accustomed to and comfortable for both parties, but be careful not to press on the abdomen. They can choose to have sex in the outside position, side sleeping position, front sitting position or back position. Husbands should not stimulate pregnant women's nipples. Pregnant women should pay attention to their own adjustments and avoid being too excited to prevent miscarriage.

How to have safe sex during pregnancy

1. Clean and keep clean

Before sex, the couple must wash themselves well, especially the lower body. Be careful not to neglect the hygiene of their hands to avoid bacterial infection.

2. Married life varies from person to person

Generally speaking, sexual intercourse is possible in the second trimester, but some pregnant women may have a lower placenta, or some pregnant women may still have a tendency to miscarriage in the second trimester. In such cases, doctors recommend that they should not have sexual intercourse or exercise excessively.

3. Understand the frequency of sexual intercourse between husband and wife

Couples in the second trimester of pregnancy must be careful about their sexual life. The postures and intensity should not be too strong, and the frequency should not be too frequent. As long as both parties can accept it, it's fine. Because men's semen contains prostaglandins, it has the effect of inducing uterine contractions. Therefore, excessively frequent and intense sexual intercourse is likely to cause uterine contractions in pregnant women, which is not conducive to the health of the fetus.

4. Choose a suitable posture

(1) Sitting position: The pregnant woman can be on top, sitting astride the husband. On the one hand, this position will not cause the pregnant woman's abdomen to be compressed, and on the other hand, it can also help the pregnant woman to control the angle and intensity of sexual life.

(2) Traditional: This is the sexual intercourse position where the woman is on the bottom and the man is on the top. However, when choosing this position, the man must spread his arms and use his hands to support his body to prevent the pregnant woman's abdomen from being pressed.

(3) Side sleeping position: The husband lies on the side of the pregnant woman and has sex from behind.

(4) Rear entry: The man kneels behind the pregnant woman, who is also kneeling, and uses her arms to support herself during intercourse. This position is not likely to make pregnant women feel that their abdomen is oppressed.
