What to do if you have sex during early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, since the development of the fetus is still unstable, there are still many things that both husband and wife need to pay attention to. Among these precautions, not having sex is the most important one, because having sex will have a certain impact on the pregnant woman and the fetus. If the intensity of sexual intercourse is too strong, it may even cause miscarriage in women. So, what should you do if you accidentally have sex in the early stages of pregnancy?

1. Can you have sex during pregnancy?

According to modern scientific views, you can have sex during pregnancy. But you should pay attention to hygiene and posture during sexual intercourse.

During the first three months of pregnancy, the embryo implantation is not stable yet. If you have sexual intercourse, you need to be very careful and be gentle. Intense sexual life can stimulate strong contractions of the uterus and cause miscarriage. Women with habitual miscarriage should pay special attention. According to clinical statistics, the miscarriage rate for couples who have sexual intercourse within 3 months of pregnancy is about 30%.

Three months after conception, the embryo has been formed and the fetus needs to develop and grow in the uterine cavity. The uterus generally rises into the abdominal cavity. Due to the influence of hormones, some women's sexual desire will increase, and their sexual demands may be greater than in the early stages of pregnancy, so couples can have a harmonious sex life. Sexual intercourse at this time will not affect the fetus, but attention should still be paid to sexual hygiene and sexual intercourse positions. Women can choose the upper or side position to reduce abdominal pressure, but they should still avoid rough and intense movements during sexual activities.

During the last three months of pregnancy, women's sexual desire is lower due to changes in estrogen secretion, so men should not force themselves to have sex. Sexual intercourse at this time will stimulate uterine contractions and cause premature birth, so try to avoid sexual intercourse.

2. Precautions for sexual intercourse during pregnancy

When a wife is pregnant, a husband should be gentle, romantic, patient and considerate.

During pregnancy, different ways of touching should be used during sex, such as caressing your wife's abdomen and experiencing the joy of fetal movement together.

During sex during pregnancy, try not to put your body weight on your wife's abdomen and breasts.

Use pillows as much as possible to make your wife comfortable, and try to stay perpendicular to her body curves.

When enjoying sex during pregnancy, take some time to experiment to find the most comfortable method.

During the close contact stage before intercourse, the husband can touch and stimulate the clitoris and labia, but should not insert his fingers into the vagina to avoid damaging the vagina and causing bacterial infection.

During pregnancy, vaginal secretions increase and resistance decreases. Before having sex, both husband and wife should clean the vulva and maintain hygiene.

The prospective father should be considerate of the psychological and physical discomfort his wife may experience during pregnancy.

The prospective father should care about and be considerate of his wife, respect his wife, and strictly refrain from forcing her to have sex.

The duration and intensity of sexual intercourse during pregnancy should be appropriate, the movements should be gentle, and excessive stimulation should be avoided; the duration should be shortened accordingly (1-3 minutes).

3. What should I do if I have sex just after I get pregnant?

No sexual intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy and the last three months of pregnancy. Sexual intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy can easily lead to miscarriage, and sexual intercourse during the last three months of pregnancy can also lead to premature birth. If you have sex when you are just pregnant, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a check-up to diagnose whether there is any problem. Then, you should receive symptomatic treatment based on the clinical symptoms and examination results. Do not take medication blindly.
