Things to note during early pregnancy

1. Avoid or reduce sexual life during the first three months of pregnancy. Because the placenta and the uterine wall of the pregnant woman are not tightly connected in the early pregnancy, improper sexual intercourse may cause uterine contractions and lead to the possibility of miscarriage. Therefore, the first three months of pregnancy is a period when miscarriage is prone to occur, especially for pregnant women at high risk of miscarriage. In addition, improper sexual intercourse in early pregnancy may also cause vaginal infection, which is another reason why some doctors recommend that you avoid sexual intercourse in early pregnancy.

2. Pregnant women who experience early vaginal bleeding need to seek medical attention immediately. If you notice vaginal bleeding, even a small amount, you should see a doctor right away, even if the bleeding appears to have stopped. While a small amount of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy may not be a big deal, it can be a sign of a serious problem. Therefore, you need to seek medical attention immediately to make sure that there are no problems with the pregnant woman and the fetus and to rule out the possibility of complications.
