What should couples pay attention to during pregnancy for sexual activity? Couples should control the frequency of sexual activity during pregnancy

Medical clinical practice has proven that blind desire for sexual activity during pregnancy is undoubtedly one of the important reasons for miscarriage, premature birth, early dehydration, and postpartum infections. Therefore, in order to ensure the health and safety of the mother and fetus, it is particularly important to strictly control the frequency and intensity of sexual activity during pregnancy.

The medical community generally believes that abstinence is essential in the first three months of pregnancy, especially for those who have not had a history of natural abortion for many years after marriage, and should avoid sexual intercourse. Habitual miscarriage (miscarriage of more than one pregnancy) should be absolutely prohibited from having sexual intercourse. The reason behind this is simple: in the early stages of pregnancy, the embryo is in the developmental stage, especially when the connection between the placenta and the mother's uterine wall is not yet tight. If the uterus is shaken during sexual intercourse, it is easy to cause placental detachment and miscarriage. Moreover, when having sex with a pregnant woman, because of pelvic congestion, Uterine contraction will also cause abortion. In addition, semen contains Prostaglandin, which can also lead to Uterine contraction and abortion.

Do not indulge in mid pregnancy. At 4 to 7 months of pregnancy, the uterus gradually increases, the amount of amniotic fluid in the membranes increases, and the tension of the membranes gradually increases. The most important task during this period is to maintain the stability of the uterus and protect the normal environment for fetal life and development. If the pregnant woman is in good health and the fetus is in normal condition, then sexual activity can still be carried out in the middle of pregnancy, but efforts must also be made to exercise restraint. Because if sexual activity is frequent, excessive force is exerted, and the abdomen is compressed, the fetal membrane will rupture prematurely, so that the umbilical cord may fall off from the rupture and even outside the vagina, causing the fetus to die immediately due to lack of nutrition and oxygen, or leading to miscarriage. If the fetal membrane is not ruptured and no miscarriage occurs, it may also lead to uterine cavity infection. Severe infections can cause fetal death, while mild infections can also affect the normal physical and intellectual development of the fetus. In addition, those who have experienced habitual miscarriage, pregnant women with illnesses, or those who fall ill during pregnancy should not have sexual intercourse in the middle of pregnancy.

You should be more careful in the later stages of pregnancy. After 3 months of pregnancy, especially one month before delivery, as the delivery period approaches, the uterus of the pregnant woman drops, the vagina shortens, and the uterine opening gradually opens. If you have sex with someone in the same room at this time, the possibility of amniotic fluid infection is higher. Medical experts have reported that 50% of women who develop infections during the postpartum period are caused by sexual intercourse during the last month of pregnancy. If a woman experiences severe infections during the postpartum period, it can pose a life-threatening risk. At the same time, the uterus is more sensitive in the later stage of pregnancy and is easily stimulated by external factors, which can suddenly strengthen contraction and induce premature birth. Premature infants have low resistance, are prone to infection, are difficult to feed, and have a high mortality rate. Therefore, sexual intercourse in the third trimester of pregnancy also directly threatens the safety of the mother and fetus, and should be strictly prohibited.
