Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Just found out that I am pregnant, estimated to be about two months along. May I ask, can I currently have sexual intercourse with my husband?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse during the first, second, and third months of pregnancy. Since the embryo is in the developmental stage, especially the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall of the mother is not yet tight, if sexual intercourse occurs, it is likely that improper movements or accidental carelessness during excessive excitement may cause the uterus to shake, making it easy for the placenta to detach and leading to miscarriage.During the second trimester (months 4, 5, and 6), sexual intercourse is permissible, but it is important to avoid positions that compress the abdomen of the female partner. Moderation and changes in sexual methods should be practiced, and movements should not be rough. Otherwise, it may also lead to the possibility of miscarriage.
During the third trimester (months 7, 8, and 9), sexual intercourse should be avoided, as it may lead to premature birth.
