Patient's question:
Please ask if having sex after pregnancy has any effect on the child.Doctor's answer:
Hello, do not have sexual intercourse during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy to avoid miscarriage. The second trimester is relatively stable for both the fetus and the pregnant woman, and it can be adjusted according to the situation.In the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, the placenta has not yet developed fully, and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight enough. On the other hand, insufficient progesterone secretion cannot provide strong protection for the embryo. During this time, sexual intercourse may lead to miscarriage.
In the second trimester, the placenta has formed, and the pregnancy is more stable. Sexual intercourse can be (moderate). At this stage, it is a safe period, and sexual activity is recommended 1-2 times per week.
In the later stages of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's abdomen is significantly swollen, and her body shape and weight change noticeably. She becomes heavy, experiences back and waist pain, and the uterus becomes more sensitive. Any external stimulation, even mild shocks, can easily cause uterine contractions and lead to premature labor. Couples should try to reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse as much as possible, with 1-4 times per month being ideal, to avoid any accidents.
