How long after pregnancy can one not have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

Hello, could you please ask the doctor how long after pregnancy one should avoid sexual activity? First follow-up question: Is it meant to be calculated from the first day of the missed period? So, three months after that, one cannot have sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, sexual intercourse is not allowed during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, as it may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. However, after the fourth month of pregnancy, when the fetus gradually stabilizes, appropriate sexual activity can be resumed. Additionally, during intercourse, it is important to pay attention to not being too forceful to avoid harming the fetus.
