Many people ask whether sexual intercourse is possible during pregnancy and whether abstinence is mandatory for the first ten months of pregnancy. In medicine, the fetus is not stable during pregnancy and accidents may occur at any time due to certain reasons. And in the later stages, it is even more not allowed. So it is recommended that once pregnant, it is better not to have sexual intercourse as much as possible.
Just a few months pregnant, you can have sex
1. How many months pregnant can we have sex? Medical evidence shows that as long as your health is normal during pregnancy, you can have sexual intercourse. But it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse in the first and last three months of pregnancy, and sexual intercourse can be done in the middle of pregnancy (from April to July). Because in the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is still unstable and the secretion of progesterone is insufficient, there is a risk of miscarriage during sexual intercourse, and pregnant women generally do not have much sexual interest due to early pregnancy. In the last three months of pregnancy, the placenta begins to descend, and the pregnant woman's hands and feet become severely swollen, making it difficult for her to move around. At this time, sexual intercourse can also easily cause contractions, leading to premature birth.
2. If you have received treatment for premature birth, or if you have other problems during pregnancy such as cervical shortening or dilation, amniotic fluid leakage, placenta previa, vaginal bleeding, or a history of miscarriage, you must first ask your doctor if you are able to have sex during pregnancy. In some cases, you need to avoid sexual intercourse during pregnancy.
Reasons for not being able to have sexual intercourse in late pregnancy
1. In the late stage of pregnancy, which is the last three months of pregnancy, especially within one month before delivery, the harm caused by sexual intercourse is more obvious due to the descent of the fetal birth canal direction. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided.
2. Because having sexual intercourse can cause water damage and bacterial infections. Some studies have shown that if sexual intercourse occurs once or several times a week, the chances of amniotic fluid infection are much higher than those who do not have sexual intercourse, especially posing a greater threat to premature infants.
Once it is clear that you are pregnant, you need to pay special attention. One should not be too lively in their usual behavior and demeanor as before. For some couples who need to have sex when their relationship is strong, it is also important to understand the relevant situation and know when it is prohibited to do so. Ensuring the safety of the fetus is important.
