Can I have sex while pregnant?

You are absolutely not allowed to have any sexual intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy, even if the technique is very gentle. This can easily lead to miscarriage during the process. You are also not allowed to have sexual intercourse in the late stages of pregnancy. You must ensure that the fetus in your belly is born safely before you can have some appropriate sexual intercourse.

1. Prohibition of sexual intercourse

From the beginning of pregnancy to the end of the third month of pregnancy, the placenta is in the development stage, especially the connection between the placenta and the mother's uterine wall is not tight. Sexual intercourse can cause the uterus to vibrate, which can easily cause miscarriage. During sexual intercourse, the pregnant woman's pelvic cavity becomes congested and the uterus contracts, which can also increase the chance of miscarriage. Therefore, sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible within 3 months.

2. Reduce sexual intercourse

Pregnant women in the 4th to 9th month of pregnancy are relatively stable and can have sexual intercourse once a week, but be careful not to last too long each time, and be careful not to directly and strongly stimulate the female sexual organs, and keep the movements gentle. If sexual intercourse is too frequent, too forceful, or lasts too long during this stage, it will compress the abdomen and cause premature rupture of the amniotic membrane. The fetus will die quickly or suffer miscarriage due to lack of nutrition and oxygen. Even if the amniotic membrane is not ruptured and miscarriage does not occur, the uterus may be infected, which may lead to fetal death in severe cases and affect the physical and cognitive development of the fetus in mild cases.

3. Absolutely no sex life

In the late pregnancy, especially in the month before delivery, that is, after 9 months of pregnancy, the fetus begins to descend toward the birth canal and the pregnant woman's cervix gradually softens. If sexual intercourse occurs during this period, the fetal membrane will rupture prematurely, there is a high possibility of intrauterine infection, and amniotic fluid overflow (i.e., water breaking) may occur. At the same time, in the late stages of pregnancy, because the uterus is more sensitive and can be directly stimulated by the outside world, there is a possibility of sudden uterine contractions and inducing premature birth. Therefore, sexual intercourse must be absolutely prohibited in the late stages of pregnancy.

Symptom 1 of pregnant women before delivery: 1 to 2 days before delivery, a small amount of bloody mucus will flow out of the vagina, which is often called spotting. This is because the uterus contracts and the baby's head begins to fall into the pelvis. The fetal membrane and uterine wall gradually separate and the friction will cause blood vessels to rupture and bleed. Red or brown viscous liquid, or blood in the secretions. Generally, spotting occurs 1 to 2 days before delivery, but there are great individual differences. Some women may go into labor a few days or even a week after spotting. Therefore, you should pay more attention to its shape, color, amount, etc. before making a judgment.
