How long after pregnancy can I have sex?

Sexual life is very important for the life between couples. Harmonious sex life is not only good for physical health, but also can relieve stress. Generally speaking, it is usually very difficult for pregnant couples. Most couples will abstain from sex after pregnancy. Long-term abstinence will not only affect the relationship between couples, but also affect family harmony. However, there are concerns that having sex after pregnancy will be bad for the health of the baby.

How long after pregnancy can I have sex?

If the pregnant woman's physical condition remains normal during pregnancy, she can have sex from the 4th month to the 7th month of pregnancy. However, please note that you must not have sex during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. This is because during the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is still in the development stage and is not stable. The fetus at this time cannot be stimulated in any way. If the couple has sex at this time, it may cause miscarriage or deformity of the fetus. In the last three months of pregnancy, the placenta has begun to descend, and the pregnant woman's movements will become inconvenient. Having sex at this time may cause uterine contractions in the pregnant woman, and may even lead to premature birth.

When having sex during pregnancy, you must be careful not to use difficult positions or positions that compress the pregnant woman's belly. The movements should also be gentle and not too intense, so as not to harm the fetus. The frequency of sexual intercourse should not be too high, as it will increase the burden on pregnant women and affect the normal development of the fetus.

In what situations can you not have sex during pregnancy?

Although having sex is allowed during the second trimester, it is not suitable for all pregnant women. Pregnant women in the following situations cannot have sex during pregnancy:

1. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage or premature birth;

2. Abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, with serious complications (such as hypertension, diabetes, severe heart disease, etc.);

3. Obvious inflammation of the cervix or vagina;

4. The expectant father suffers from a sexually transmitted disease: The bacteria of sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted to the pregnant woman and fetus during sexual intercourse, so sexual intercourse should be prohibited until he is completely cured.

5. After 36 weeks of pregnancy.

Precautions for sex during pregnancy

1. During pregnancy, the expectant mother's vaginal secretions will increase, and her immunity will decrease. Therefore, when having sex, it is best to pay attention to the cleanliness of the sexual organs. Wash the vulva before having sex and keep it clean to avoid bacterial infection.

2. During intercourse, the expectant father should pay attention to his actions and not be too rough. After all, it is the pregnancy period, and excessive behavior will affect the fetus. Therefore, the intensity of the actions should be appropriate during intercourse, and the duration should not be too long. It is best to maintain it for about 1-3 minutes. At the same time, you should also be careful not to put pressure on the expectant mother's belly, and it is best to avoid sexual intercourse with the man on top.

3. During the process, if the expectant mother experiences abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, she should stop immediately and go to the hospital to check whether the fetus is healthy. For expectant mothers with a history of miscarriage, placenta previa, amniotic fluid leakage, etc., it is best to avoid sexual intercourse during pregnancy to avoid harming the fetus.

In addition, it is emphasized that pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes should avoid sexual intercourse during the entire pregnancy.

Of course, if the expectant mother is unwilling during pregnancy, the expectant father should not force her and should respect his wife's wishes. During pregnancy, both husband and wife must understand and care for each other so that they can safely spend this special time in their lives.
