How long after pregnancy can one not have sex?

Patient's question:

Hello, could you please ask the doctor how long after pregnancy one cannot have sexual intercourse? First follow-up question: Is it meant to count from the first day of the missed period? So three months later, one cannot have sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, sexual intercourse is not allowed during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, as it may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. However, after the fourth month of pregnancy, when the fetus becomes more stable, appropriate sexual activity can be resumed. Additionally, during intercourse, it is important to pay attention to not being too forceful to avoid harming the fetus.
Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of genetic risks for healthy fetal development should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Furthermore, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
