Patient's question:
How many weeks pregnant can a wife have sexual intercourse? First follow-up question: Is it okay after three full months?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the impact of sexual activity on a fetus during pregnancy is primarily observed in the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. The first trimester is more likely to cause miscarriage in pregnant women, while the third trimester often leads to premature birth. During the remaining time, the impact of sexual activity on the fetus is not significant. Therefore, it is important to strictly control the timing to avoid accidents.In the second trimester, the placenta has already formed, and the pregnancy is relatively stable. Although it is less likely to result in miscarriage due to minor stimuli, sexual activity should not be too frequent or intense. The male's movements should remain steady, even during sexual climax, when the movements should be slow. Paying attention to the sexual position is also important. Couples can choose suitable positions that do not put pressure on the abdomen. If sexual activity is too frequent or intense, there is still a risk of miscarriage and premature rupture of membranes.
