During pregnancy, although sexual activity is not prohibited for couples, it is important to know how to safely engage in sexual activity. Many people are not very familiar with it and are worried about its impact on the fetus, so they no longer engage in sexual intercourse once they become pregnant. So, does having sexual intercourse during pregnancy have any impact on the fetus?
Having sexual activity during pregnancy is not impossible, and healthy and moderate sexual activity is actually possible. It not only does not have a negative impact on the growth and development of the fetus, but also promotes intimate relationships between couples and maintains physical and mental pleasure. So, there is no need to give up sexual activity out of fear that having sex will be harmful to the fetus, which is also completely unfounded.
During pregnancy, when having sexual intercourse, it is recommended not to use a position that compresses the abdomen. It is recommended to use a lateral position, grasp the position well, and not move too much. Mild movements will not affect the fetus, but once abdominal pain and uterine contractions are found, they should be stopped immediately.
It is recommended that couples do not have sexual intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy and the third month after pregnancy. Early sexual intercourse in early pregnancy, if the uterine contractions are severe, may stimulate the cervix of the pregnant woman, causing severe contractions and potentially leading to miscarriage. In mid pregnancy, the fetus has already formed, and sexual intercourse is possible. In late pregnancy, as the due date approaches, sexual intercourse can exacerbate uterine contractions and make pregnant women feel like they are about to give birth. Therefore, it is better not to have sexual intercourse in late pregnancy.
