Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant. May we have sexual intercourse during this period?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, leading to miscarriage. In the second trimester (months 4, 5, and 6), sexual intercourse is permissible, but it is important to choose positions that do not press on the woman's abdomen, to exercise restraint and change sexual intercourse methods, and to avoid rough movements. Otherwise, it may also lead to the possibility of miscarriage.
