Patient's question:
I am three months pregnant. Since getting pregnant, I have never had sexual intercourse with my husband for fear of a miscarriage. Last night, I had sex with my husband, but I was afraid that the sperm inside would affect the baby's development, so I didn't let him come inside. I only moved a couple of times and couldn't hold back and ended up coming inside. Now I'm very worried that it will affect the baby's development. This morning when I went to the bathroom, I noticed brown discharge in my underwear, but I don't have any other discomforts.What kind of help do I need: Can I come inside after having sex after getting pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
To ensure the health of the fetus, sexual intercourse should be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy. This is because hormonal changes after pregnancy can reduce a woman's desire for sexual activity. Additionally, there are psychological factors, such as concerns that sexual activity may affect the normal development and safety of the fetus. There are also physical factors, such as increased weight, reduced flexibility, slow movement, and general discomfort.What is more important is that during the first three months of pregnancy, the embryo is in the developmental stage, and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not yet firm. If sexual activity occurs, improper movements or accidental carelessness during heightened excitement could cause uterine contractions, easily leading to placental detachment and miscarriage. Even if great caution is taken during sexual activity, the pelvic congestion and uterine contractions in pregnant women can also result in miscarriage.
