Patient's question:
Pregnant for 3 weeks, had sex once without bleeding~ Is the fetus normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, sexual activity is prohibited during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. This is because the early stages of pregnancy are when the embryo is rapidly developing, and the placenta is also developing. Excessive sexual activity can cause pelvic congestion and uterine contractions, which may lead to miscarriage. In the later stages of pregnancy, the fetus has already entered the pelvis, the cervix gradually matures or becomes shorter, and the cervix is slightly open. Sexual activity may cause premature birth or premature rupture of membranes. It can also introduce bacteria or other pathogens into the vagina and cervix, leading to infection. During the second trimester of pregnancy, sexual activity is possible, but it should not be too frequent or rough.
