Patient's question:
Can you have sex during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Experts point out that the principles of sexual life after pregnancy must be remembered. First, avoid pressing or hitting the abdomen, and second, do not give the uterus direct and strong stimulation. When the pregnant woman's uterus has not yet significantly enlarged, normal positions can still be used during intercourse, such as the male-on-top and female-bottom position, but avoid pressing the pregnant woman's abdomen, and the male's reproductive organ should not be inserted too deeply. As the abdomen becomes larger, avoid pressing it and can adopt the anterior lateral position, lateral position, or anterior sitting position, with movements not being too vigorous. In the later stages of pregnancy, the posterior lateral position can also be used for intercourse. If the pregnant woman does not wish to have intercourse, it must not be forced. Remember that sexual life is not just about sexual intercourse itself but also includes many other aspects, such as sexual caresses. Therefore, during pregnancy, both partners must be understanding and considerate of each other, and together they should navigate this special period of life.
