Bleeding during intercourse during pregnancy

If you have sex on the 40th day of pregnancy and there is bleeding, it is a sign of miscarriage and you should go to the hospital for examination in time. You should do a good job of protecting the fetus and have regular prenatal check-ups. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Bleeding during intercourse during pregnancy

If you are pregnant and have sex in the early stages of pregnancy and bleeding occurs, it may be a sign of miscarriage. You need to stay in bed, reduce activity, and go to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up in time. It is recommended that sexual intercourse is prohibited during the early and late stages of pregnancy. If sexual intercourse occurs, it may easily cause miscarriage or premature birth. It is recommended that you take good care of your health during pregnancy, have a reasonable diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods, do various examinations in a timely manner, have regular prenatal checkups, and seek medical attention in time if there are any abnormal conditions.

How many months of pregnancy can you have sex

Since there are so many benefits of having sex during pregnancy, at what months of pregnancy can you have sex? Let's take a look. If we calculate based on the 9-month pregnancy period, we can divide it into three periods:

1. During the first 3 months of pregnancy: sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. During the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is not yet stable. At the same time, for pregnant women, the symptoms of early pregnancy are very obvious and they generally don’t have much sexual interest. Sexual intercourse in the early stage can easily cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage.

2. After 36 weeks: sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. After 36 weeks, the placenta begins to descend. Many pregnant women have severe edema in their hands and feet, which makes it difficult for them to move. Some pregnant mothers have already begun preparing for delivery. Having sex at this time can also easily cause uterine contractions and lead to premature birth of the fetus.

3. Suitable time for sexual intercourse during pregnancy: Generally, during the 5th to 8th month of pregnancy, the fetus is basically stable, and sexual intercourse is recommended during this period.

Things to note when having sex during pregnancy:

1. Before sexual intercourse, both husband and wife should clean the vulva and keep it hygienic to prevent bacteria from invading the body of the pregnant woman.

2. Pay attention to the sexual intercourse posture to prevent abdominal pressure. The postures that should be avoided are: flexed position, riding position and elbow-knee position.

3. The duration and intensity of sexual intercourse should be appropriate, the movements should be gentle, avoid excessive stimulation, and the duration should be shortened accordingly.

4. Be considerate and caring towards your wife, respect her, and strictly prohibit forced sexual intercourse.

5. Use condoms. Semen is rich in prostaglandins, which can cause the smooth muscles of the uterus and fallopian tubes to contract. It is recommended that expectant fathers use condoms during sexual intercourse.

Pregnant women in the following situations cannot have sex during pregnancy:

1. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage or premature birth;

2. Abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, with serious complications (such as hypertension, diabetes, severe heart disease, etc.);

3. Obvious inflammation of the cervix or vagina;

4. The expectant father suffers from a sexually transmitted disease: The bacteria of sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted to the pregnant woman and fetus during sexual intercourse, so sexual intercourse should be prohibited until he is completely cured.

5. After 36 weeks of pregnancy.
