Is it okay to have sex with your husband during the first three months of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello! I just found out I'm pregnant, which is about one month. I want to know if I can have sex with my husband in the early three months. If I do, what position would be better? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Sex during pregnancy is possible, but attention should be paid to issues such as the duration of sexual activity and hygiene. In the first three months of pregnancy, the embryo has not yet settled firmly in the uterus. Intense sexual activity can stimulate strong uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage, especially for women with a history of miscarriage. Clinical statistics show that about 30% of couples who have sex during the first three months of pregnancy experience miscarriage, so sexual activity should be avoided.
After three months of conception, the embryo has formed, and the fetus will develop and grow in the uterine cavity. The uterus generally rises into the abdominal cavity. At this stage, sexual activity will not affect the fetus, but attention should still be paid to sexual hygiene. Avoid rough or vigorous movements during sexual activity.
In the last three months of pregnancy, due to changes in estrogen secretion, women's libido tends to be lower. Men should not force sexual activity at this time. Sexual activity can stimulate uterine contractions, leading to premature birth, so it should be avoided.
