Can you have sex in the late stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I have sex in the late stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, sexual intercourse is not recommended during the late stages of pregnancy, as it can easily lead to premature birth. Generally, sexual intercourse is avoided during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, while moderate activity is allowed during the middle period.
Hello, have you experienced any obvious external stimulation, physical labor, or increased activity? If you have confirmed pregnancy, the vaginal bleeding is definitely not menstrual blood—it could be a sign of threatened miscarriage. During the early stage of threatened miscarriage, common symptoms include a delay in menstruation followed by early pregnancy symptoms, followed by light vaginal bleeding that may come and go, be intermittent, or be continuous for several days or weeks. The bleeding is usually bright red, without abdominal pain or only mild lower abdominal discomfort, lower back pain, or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. It’s best to visit the hospital immediately for a check-up. If it is indeed a threatened miscarriage, treatment to support the pregnancy will be necessary.
