Can pregnant women masturbate?

Pregnant mothers will not have sexual intercourse for a few months for the sake of the unborn baby and for safety reasons. However, due to the long-term failure to meet their physiological needs, many pregnant mothers will masturbate. If you also encounter such an embarrassing thing, then read the article below, which can help you fully understand whether you can masturbate during pregnancy and what effects it will have.

Can pregnant women masturbate?

Pregnant women should be careful when masturbating.

Because the first three months of pregnancy are the initial development stage of the embryo, the placenta has not yet formed, and the embryo is not firmly attached to the mother's uterus. If you are not careful, it can easily fall off and cause miscarriage. In the last three months, it can cause amniotic fluid infection in pregnant women, increasing the risk of death in the fetus and neonate. In addition, sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the first three months and last three months of pregnancy, and sexual intercourse during this period should not be too intense.

Precautions for pregnant women to masturbate:

1. Pay attention to the time. It is not suitable to masturbate in the early and late stages of pregnancy, so as to avoid sexual pleasure causing uterine contractions, thereby causing miscarriage and premature birth. The more suitable period for masturbation is the second trimester, because the fetus is relatively stable at this time, and appropriate masturbation will not cause too much impact on the fetus.

2. Don't do it too frequently. Frequent masturbation will cause certain harm to the body of normal people, let alone pregnant women. If pregnant women masturbate frequently, it will cause frequent uterine contractions, which will have a great impact on the health of the fetus. It can easily cause fetal suffocation or even stillbirth.

3. Pay attention to hygiene. Pregnant women have weaker resistance, so they must pay attention to hygiene when masturbating. They must wash their hands before masturbating. Vaginal secretions are more during pregnancy, so they must also pay attention to cleaning their private parts after masturbation to avoid infection.

4. Stop immediately if you feel pain. If a pregnant woman feels abdominal swelling or pain while masturbating, she should temporarily stop and rest for a while. She can continue after the swelling disappears. In addition, pregnant women may feel uncomfortable when masturbating in a supine position due to a drop in blood pressure. At this time, they should temporarily interrupt and rest, and tilt their body left and right appropriately, and the discomfort will gradually disappear.
