Can I have sex when I am 8 months pregnant?

There are many taboos during pregnancy. For example, in the first three months of pregnancy, the fetal development is still unstable. In the last three months of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's belly becomes bigger and the body also has a certain burden. Therefore, during this period, sexual life must be restrained. Even if you have sex, you should be fully prepared to avoid any accidents. So, what should you pay attention to when having sex when you are eight months pregnant? A detailed introduction will be given below.

1. Can I have sex when I am 8 months pregnant?

After the eighth month of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's belly suddenly swells, her waist aches, she feels too lazy to move, and her libido decreases. During this stage, the fetus grows rapidly, the uterus enlarges significantly, and is very sensitive to any external stimulation. Couples should stop having sex as much as possible to avoid accidents. If you must have sex, you must be moderate, pay attention to body positions, control the frequency and duration of sex, and avoid rough movements.

2. Taboos of sexual intercourse during pregnancy

1. If there are risk factors for miscarriage, such as vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain during or after sexual intercourse, the expectant mother should stop having sex and see a doctor in time.

2. If the expectant father has a sexually transmitted disease, the virus and bacteria can be transmitted to the pregnant woman and fetus, so sexual intercourse should be prohibited.

3. If a pregnant woman suffers from vaginitis, the bacteria may be transmitted to the fetus during sexual intercourse. Therefore, the pregnant woman should refrain from sexual intercourse until she is completely cured.

4. When there is a problem with the placenta, if the expectant mother has placenta previa or the placenta is not tightly connected to the uterus, sexual intercourse may cause miscarriage. Sexual intercourse should be temporarily stopped and resumed only after the situation stabilizes.

5. Uterine contractions are too frequent. If a pregnant mother finds that her uterus contracts too frequently, in order to avoid premature birth, she should avoid sexual intercourse and go to the hospital for a check-up.

6. Uterine insufficiency poses a risk of miscarriage at any time, so sexual intercourse should be avoided.

3. What positions should be used for sexual intercourse during the eighth month of pregnancy?

1. Posterior position: The posterior position, in which the man and woman lie sideways in the same direction, does not put pressure on the fetus, and the depth can be increased or decreased according to the man's wishes, so it is a position suitable for mid-pregnancy. This position will not damage the vagina or cervix, nor will it cause allergies. You can also use other auxiliary actions instead of insertion, such as caressing breasts, which can increase satisfaction.

2. Anterior position: The anterior position, in which a man and a woman lie sideways facing each other, will neither compress the abdomen nor be too deep.

3. Front sitting position: This is a position performed by women and men while sitting, so it will not put pressure on the abdomen. The depth of the connection can also be adjusted, which is a relatively safe position.

4. Back position: The back position in which the man supports the woman's upper body from behind will not exert weight on the woman's body, and the depth can be adjusted at will.
