Patient's question:
Can a pregnant person have sex? When is the best time to have sex?Doctor's answer:
Avoid sexual intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy. During this period, the uterus is more sensitive, and sexual activity can cause uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage. Additionally, pregnancy symptoms and poor physical health in pregnant women may reduce interest in sexual activity.From the fourth to the sixth month of the second trimester, sexual intercourse can be appropriate, but it should still be moderate. Special attention should be paid to hygiene and position.
Before intercourse, both partners should clean the relevant areas. After intercourse, the woman should urinate. During intercourse, the man should not insert his fingers into the vagina, stimulate the nipples, press the pregnant woman's abdomen, or apply direct, strong stimulation to the uterus. Avoid rough movements, deep penetration, positions like crouching or riding, and lifting the woman's feet high or having her sit astride an man.
Those with signs of miscarriage, severe pregnancy complications, or a history of miscarriage should avoid sexual intercourse.
