What is Safe for Couples to Have Sexual Life During Pregnancy? How to Have Safe Sexual Life During Pregnancy
Post Date November, 16 2024
As long as it is a healthy expectant father or mother, they can still engage in normal sexual activity during pregnancy. But there are generally two major concerns:
1. Uterine contractions during orgasm may cause miscarriage or premature birth;
2. Bacterial infection caused by penile insertion.
Therefore, if the following situations may endanger the health and safety of expectant mothers and fetuses, sexual activity must be temporarily stopped:
1。 Previous experience with miscarriage: If the expectant mother has had a miscarriage in the past, the doctor will recommend that the pregnant woman refrain from sexual activity in the first few months of pregnancy until the danger of miscarriage has passed.
2。 When there is a threat of miscarriage: If the expectant mother experiences vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain during or after sexual intercourse, she should seek medical examination. If there are signs of miscarriage, sexual activity should be temporarily stopped.
3。 Expectant fathers suffer from sexually transmitted diseases: the bacteria of sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted to pregnant women and fetuses during sexual intercourse, so sexual activity should be prohibited until completely cured.
4。 Vaginal inflammation in expectant mothers: During sexual intercourse, bacteria can be transmitted to the fetus, so sexual activity should be prohibited until completely cured.
5。 When there is a problem with the placenta: If the expectant mother has a placenta previa or if the placenta is not tightly connected to the uterus, sexual intercourse may lead to miscarriage. Sexual activity should be temporarily stopped until the situation stabilizes before resuming sexual activity.
6。 Uterine contractions are too frequent: If expectant mothers find that their uterus contracts too frequently, in order to avoid premature birth, it is still necessary to avoid sexual activity and seek medical examination.
7。 Uterine atresia: There is a risk of miscarriage at any time, and sexual activity should be avoided.
8。 Early dehydration: If the due date is not yet reached, the pregnant woman must have an abortion. However, due to the rupture of the amniotic membrane that protects the fetus, bacteria may enter the uterus and infect the fetus. Therefore, sexual activity should be avoided at this time.
When the above situations arise and sexual activity must be prohibited, expectant mothers can satisfy their husband's desires by caressing with their hands. However, it is important to note that if the doctor has warned the expectant mother that sexual activity is prohibited due to uterine contractions, then any behavior that may cause sexual excitement for the expectant mother must be prohibited at this time, including touching the breast and external genitalia, as these stimuli can also cause uterine contractions and endanger the safety of the fetus.
