Can I have sex during the first 3 months of pregnancy?

Cigarettes and ethanol often affect the fertility of both men and women. Drinking alcohol is harmful to the health of the growing fetus and the baby after birth. So, can you have sex when you are three months pregnant? What effects will sex during pregnancy have on the fetus?

The impact of sexual life during pregnancy on the fetus is specifically manifested in the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. The first three months are very likely to cause miscarriage, and the next three months often cause premature births. Having sex at other times will have a significant impact on the fetus. Therefore, the time should be strictly controlled to prevent accidents. In fact, women’s sexual desire will be greatly weakened during pregnancy, especially in the first three or four months of pregnancy, and they will show indifference or obvious resistance to any sexual behavior.

It can be seen from this that the three months of preparation for pregnancy is not suitable for sexual life. If you have sex after the first three months of pregnancy, the couple should choose a posture that does not compress the abdomen. You can try and feel the posture that is suitable for pregnancy. Generally speaking, the following postures are suitable for pregnant mothers and fathers:

First: Woman on top, man on bottom. It is ideal for couples to choose this posture during the second trimester of pregnancy, and in the late stages of pregnancy, women can change to the woman-on-top position.

Second: side-lying position. The man lies on his side, and the woman lies on her back, with her legs resting on the man's legs. This allows for close-range sexual intercourse and protects the abdomen from compression. In addition, this posture does not affect the caressing before sexual intercourse.

Third: Man on top, woman on bottom (to prevent pressure on the woman’s abdomen). The man is on top, but should pay attention to supporting with his hands to avoid pressure on the woman's abdomen. This position can be used until the abdomen protrudes too much.
