What to do if you have sex when you are pregnant

Many women become protected objects at home after they become pregnant, especially their husbands will be more careful to take care of them, and they may even stop having sex. This is not a normal practice. Is it true that the reason why couples don’t have sex is because men think it will hurt the baby? What should I do if I have sex when I am pregnant? The doctor said that you can still have sex after pregnancy, but you need to pay attention to some aspects.

1. The first three months of pregnancy are an unstable period, and couples should not have sex.

In the first three months, affected by the early pregnancy reaction, the sexual desire and sexual response of most pregnant women are suppressed to varying degrees. In addition, the placenta is not fully developed at this time, the uterus is more sensitive during this period, and sexual intercourse will cause uterine contraction, making miscarriage easy. In addition, due to the pregnancy reaction, the pregnant woman's physical health is poor and she is not interested in sexual life.

2. If you have sex, avoid rough movements, be gentle, and keep the frequency moderate

Generally speaking, women enter the stable period of pregnancy from the fourth month of pregnancy. However, by the time the pregnancy reaches the stable stage, the early pregnancy reactions of the pregnant woman have disappeared and the secretions have increased. At this time, for ordinary couples with no history of premature birth or habitual miscarriage, sexual intercourse is completely feasible.

Domestic and foreign research shows that: if the couple has a harmonious and loving relationship during pregnancy and the pregnant woman is in a good mood, it can effectively promote the growth and development of the fetus, and the child will be born with quick reactions, language development and good health. However, more sex life is not necessarily better. It must be arranged reasonably and attention must be paid to the sexual positions and frequency to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.

Moreover, the second trimester is a safe period, and sexual life should be 1-2 times a week. Sexual intercourse can be carried out in positions that are accustomed and comfortable for both husband and wife, but care should be taken not to compress the abdomen. The positions can be front side position, side lying position, front sitting position or back position. Husbands should not stimulate pregnant women's nipples. Pregnant women should pay attention to self-regulation and avoid being overly excited to avoid inducing miscarriage.

3. Sexual intercourse is prohibited after 7 months of pregnancy

At this time, the fetus grows rapidly, the uterus enlarges, the fetus has entered the pelvis, the cervix gradually matures or the cervix becomes shorter, and the cervix is ​​slightly open. Sexual intercourse can easily cause early rupture of membranes in pregnant women, and can also bring bacteria or other pathogens into the vagina and cervix and cause infection, and even cause serious consequences such as postpartum infection.
