Can you have sex during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Can you have sex during pregnancy? Until when can't you do it!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, sexual intercourse should be avoided during the first three 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 very 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. Between the 4th and 8th months of pregnancy, sexual intercourse is permissible, but the position should not press on the woman's abdomen, and it should be done with restraint and by changing sexual methods. In the later stages of pregnancy, especially the three weeks before delivery, sexual intercourse must be strictly prohibited to prevent postpartum infection. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage or premature birth should pay even more attention to restraining sexual activity.
