[Private Research Institute] Matters that must be paid attention to during sexual intercourse in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy, expectant parents, take note!
How can we better protect the fetus when having sex during pregnancy? Let’s talk about the general things to pay attention to first.
before sex
Try to eliminate urine as much as possible and clean the sexual organs of both parties to reduce the chance of bacterial infection.
on the way to sexual intercourse
- There should be less switching of positions , and it is better to choose a position that does not oppress the pregnant woman's abdomen ; the time should not be too long , with 10-15 minutes as the limit.
- You can choose to use condoms or in vitro ejaculation . After prostaglandins in semen are absorbed by the vaginal mucosa, they may cause uterine contraction, causing abdominal pain in pregnant women and even miscarriage.
after sex
Pregnant women should urinate immediately and clean their vulva to reduce the chance of urinary system or uterine cavity infection.
Precautions for sexual intercourse in early pregnancy
When the pregnancy is less than four months , because the placenta is not completely formed and is still in an unstable state, the secretion of progesterone is not sufficient, so it is the most likely period for miscarriage, so stimulation and sexual intercourse should be reduced.
Precautions for sexual intercourse in mid-pregnancy
After more than four months of pregnancy, the placenta has normally formed and the fetus has stabilized in the uterus, thus reducing the risk of miscarriage. The early pregnancy reaction of pregnant women will gradually disappear, and the secretion of sexual organs will also begin to increase, which will increase the sexual needs, but it cannot be compared with the non-pregnant period, and it should be stopped in moderation . Sexual intercourse should be carried out in the direction of low stimulation .
Precautions for sexual intercourse in late pregnancy
After eight months of pregnancy, the mother-to-be's belly will be very swollen, muscle pain will gradually appear due to weight gain, and sexual desire will decrease. The uterus becomes easier to contract after the second trimester, so even if you have sexual intercourse, you must be gentle .
When you are ten months pregnant, you should stop having sex . There are only about four weeks left before delivery. Sexual intercourse at this time is very likely to cause premature labor, and the uterine opening is not completely closed, which is very easy to cause infection!
I wish all the parents-to-be all the best! Children grow up happily and healthily!
