Patient's question:
Because of safety concerns for the baby, I haven't had sexual intercourse with my husband since I became pregnant a few months ago. It has been three months now. It might be because my husband was a bit excited, and he released sperm into the vagina during intercourse. Afterward, no protective measures were taken.What kind of help do I need: Does it matter if sperm is released into the vagina during intercourse during pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
If your situation involves sexual intercourse after pregnancy with ejaculation, it will not affect the development of the fetus, as the cervix produces a mucus plug after pregnancy to prevent sperm from entering the uterine cavity.You do not need to be anxious. After pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes changes, and the cervix is sealed with a mucus plug to block harmful substances from entering the uterine cavity. However, during pregnancy, sexual intercourse should be avoided with excessive movement, as it may increase the risk of miscarriage. In the later stages of pregnancy, it may also lead to premature rupture of membranes. To prevent threatened miscarriage or premature labor, it is important to take precautions.
Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy to avoid miscarriage, premature labor, or premature rupture of membranes. Between the 3rd and 7th months, sexual intercourse can be appropriate, but it should be gentle and in positions that avoid abdominal pressure. It is also advisable to (moderately limit sexual activity).
