Pregnancy is a joyful thing, and many women are extra careful during pregnancy, afraid of harm to the fetus. They not only pay attention to their diet, but also dare not engage in sexual activity. However, in fact, sexual activity can be carried out when the fetus is developing healthily during pregnancy.
Can I have sex during pregnancy?
1、 Not allowed within three months of pregnancy
Due to the fact that the first three months of pregnancy are the stage of fetal development and placental formation, which is relatively unstable in all aspects, sexual activity can lead to uterine stimulation and miscarriage. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided in the first three months of pregnancy.
2、 Can be carried out in 4-8 months
During the period of 4 to 8 months of pregnancy, sexual activity can be carried out. At this time, both the pregnant woman and the fetus are relatively stable in all aspects, and sexual activity will not cause great harm. However, it is important to note that during this stage, the fetus gradually grows, the uterus expands, and the stomach gradually increases. During sexual activity, it is important to avoid compressing the abdomen.
What should I pay attention to during pregnancy?
1、 Wearing condoms
There may be women wondering why they should wear a condom when they are pregnant, but actually wearing a condom during pregnancy is to prevent Uterine contraction and bacterial infection. Male semen contains Prostaglandin, which can cause Uterine contraction. Wearing a condom can prevent semen from flowing into the female body. In addition, during pregnancy, the body's resistance is weak. Once bacteria are present in the penis, they can invade the vagina and cause inflammation. Therefore, wearing a condom can reduce infection.
2、 Control the frequency of sexual activity
In addition to paying attention to posture and posture, it is also important to control the frequency of sexual activity during pregnancy. Excessive sexual intercourse during pregnancy can stimulate the cervix, and appropriate sexual activity can be enjoyable both physically and mentally. However, excessive sexual activity can easily lead to miscarriage and other accidents.
3、 Keep clean and hygienic
Before and after sexual activity, it is important to clean the reproductive organs. In addition to avoiding bacterial attachment, it can also help women excrete bacteria from the urethra, preventing an increase in the risk of urinary tract infections. After all, during pregnancy, the body's immune system is weak, and once bacteria invade, they can easily cause inflammation, especially urinary tract infections.
4、 Attention to posture
When engaging in sexual activity during pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to the sexual posture. Due to the continuous enlargement of the pregnant woman's stomach, once compressed, it can stimulate the cervix and lead to premature birth. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt a female up male down position to avoid the compression of the stomach.
