Can you have sex when you are four months pregnant?

Patient's question:

Because she was pregnant before, her husband has never had sexual intercourse again. Now she heard that it is possible to have sex during the middle of pregnancy, and it will not have much impact on the child. But she is also afraid that it might be inaccurate and cause harm to the child. For the sake of the child, she is willing to endure for several months. What kind of help do you need: Can she have sexual intercourse at four months of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

During the first three months and the last two months of pregnancy, it is best to avoid sexual activity. It is generally acceptable at other times. Avoid sexual activity if you experience abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, or if your doctor suspects a risk of miscarriage or premature birth. Pregnant women with a history of multiple miscarriages or premature births should take precautions to reduce the risk of recurrence. Women with conditions such as placenta previa, or other obstetric reasons that make sexual activity inadvisable, should also avoid it. Women with severe complications should refrain from sexual activity.
It is essential to remember the principles of sexual activity during pregnancy. First, avoid putting pressure on or hitting the abdomen. Second, do not give the uterus direct, strong stimulation. When the pregnant woman's uterus has not yet noticeably enlarged, normal positions can still be used during intercourse, such as the male-on-top position, but avoid pressing on the abdomen. Additionally, the male's genitalia should not be inserted too deeply.
