Patient's question:
How many weeks into pregnancy can a person 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 the fetus during pregnancy is primarily evident in the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. The first trimester carries a higher risk of miscarriage, while the third trimester often leads to premature birth. During the remaining time, the impact of sexual activity on the fetus is not usually significant. Therefore, it is important to strictly control the timing to avoid any accidents.In the second trimester, the placenta has already formed, and the pregnancy becomes relatively stable. Although it is less likely to cause 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, and should be slow. The position of sexual intercourse 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.
