1、 Does sexual intercourse during pregnancy affect the fetus?
Pregnancy sexual activity is divided into four stages: early pregnancy, mid pregnancy, late pregnancy, and after 36 weeks of pregnancy. In early pregnancy, sexual activity should be reduced, and in mid pregnancy, sexual activity should be appropriate. In late pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided, and after 36 weeks of pregnancy, sexual intercourse should be prohibited. At each stage, couples should understand each other and ensure the safety and health of the mother and child.
Early pregnancy should appropriately reduce sexual intercourse
After pregnancy, due to changes in endocrine function, early pregnancy response, and impact on the embryo, women's demands for sexual life and sexual response decrease. In the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, due to the immature placenta, the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight, and on the other hand, the secretion of progesterone is insufficient to provide strong support for the embryo. At this time, sexual activity may lead to miscarriage.
Health Tip: Sexual activity in the early stages of pregnancy should be appropriately reduced. When engaging in sexual activity, one should adopt a posture that does not compress the abdomen, such as a normal posture where the husband's arms are extended, a cross posture or an expansion posture that does not compress the abdomen, to alleviate the movement and avoid intense stimulation. A husband should care and understand his wife, and minimize sexual activity in the early stages of pregnancy for the sake of the health of the mother and child.
Appropriate sexual intercourse during mid pregnancy
In the middle of pregnancy, the placenta has formed and the pregnancy is relatively stable; The early pregnancy reaction has also passed, and sexual desire has increased, allowing for moderate sexual activity. In mid pregnancy, moderate sexual activity is beneficial for the love of couples and the healthy development of the fetus. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that harmonious marital relationships during pregnancy, happy mood of pregnant women, can effectively promote fetal growth and development, rapid response of children, and healthy language development. But sexual activity is not as good as possible. It is necessary to arrange it reasonably, pay attention to the posture and frequency of sexual intercourse, and avoid adverse effects on the fetus.
Health Reminder: This is a safe period, and sexual activity is suitable for 1-2 times a week. Sexual activity can be done in a husband and wife style and comfortable posture, but be careful not to compress the abdomen. The posture can be in a front, side, front sitting, or back position. Husbands do not stimulate pregnant women's nipples. Pregnant women should pay attention to their own adjustments and not be too excited to avoid inducing abortion.
