Is it okay to have sex when you are five months pregnant?

There are many common problems in a woman's sex life during pregnancy, including lifestyle, nutrition and diet, which are very important for the fetus. Having sex after pregnancy is beneficial to the relationship between the couple on the one hand, and is beneficial to the metabolism of growth hormones in the body on the other hand. So, is it possible to have sex in the fifth month of pregnancy?

Can I have sex when I am five months pregnant?

Can you have sex when you are five months pregnant? Generally speaking, it is allowed. Although you can have sex between the fourth and eighth months of pregnancy, the posture should not compress the female abdomen, and there should be a certain degree of control and change in sexual lifestyle. Sexual intercourse must be strictly prohibited in the late pregnancy, especially in the 3 weeks before delivery, to avoid infection after delivery. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage or premature birth should pay more attention to controlling their sexual life.

In the early stages of pregnancy (1-3 months), the embryo has not yet developed and is in an unstable state. The secretion of estrogen, which plays a role in maintaining the fetus in the uterus, is not sufficient, so miscarriage is most likely to occur. In addition, semen contains prostacyclin, which can stimulate uterine contractions and easily cause miscarriage. During this period, the frequency of sexual intercourse should be reduced than usual, and ejaculation should be done outside the body.

In the second trimester (i.e. after April), the embryo is growing and developing, the fetus is becoming more stable in the uterus, the risk of miscarriage is greatly reduced, the early reactions of the pregnant woman subside, and the secretions of the reproductive organs increase. You can lead a happy couple's life, but you should control yourself and not indulge yourself.

In the late pregnancy, especially in the last month, sexual intercourse can bring bacteria into the vagina. Once before delivery, the bacteria grow in the body and can cause serious infection during or after delivery, which can threaten the lives of mother and woman. In addition, it is also easy to cause premature birth. During this period, sexual intercourse is prohibited.

During the entire pregnancy, couples must adhere to two principles in their sexual life: one is that the pregnant woman's abdomen should not be pressed or impacted; the other is that the blood vessels in the pregnant woman's vagina and uterine mucosa are dilated and swollen, which is easy to be injured and bleed, so the posture should be gentle, not rough or intense.
