Patient's question:
I am three and a half months pregnant. However, on the third day of my last menstrual period and before my marriage, I had sex with an old friend from before my marriage. He wore a condom, and I also knew it was a safe period. But I can't stop thinking about it. I'm so scared, scared that the child might not be my husband's. I hope the doctor can understand me. I am not a woman who is easily led; I have my own reasons, which I won't elaborate on here. I hope to receive your comfort and tell me that this is absolutely impossible. Please!Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, coitus does not require the use of contraception, and it is also impossible to become pregnant again. In the first three months of pregnancy and the three months after delivery, sexual activity should be avoided. Coitus during this period may lead to miscarriage, infection, premature birth, or premature rupture of membranes. From the fourth to the sixth month of pregnancy, coitus is permissible, but it should not be excessive—once or twice a week is ideal—and it should not be forceful.
