Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can I have sex during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse 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 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. In the second trimester (months 4, 5, and 6), sexual intercourse is permissible, but it is important to avoid positions that put pressure on the woman's abdomen, to exercise restraint and change sexual intercourse methods, and to avoid rough movements.
