Patient's question:
Please ask if I am in the first month of pregnancy, my husband can't hold back, uses a woman-on-top, semi-inserted way of sexual intercourse, will it be harmful to my baby?Doctor's answer:
During the first three months of pregnancy, the embryo's implantation is still unstable. If sexual activity is engaged in, it must be done with great caution, and movements should be gentle. Intense sexual activity may stimulate strong uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage, especially for women with a history of miscarriage who should be particularly careful. According to clinical statistics, about 30% of couples who have sexual activity during the first three months of pregnancy experience miscarriage.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. Due to hormonal influences, some women may experience an increase in libido, and their sexual needs may be greater than in the early stages of pregnancy. Couples can enjoy harmonious sexual activity. At this stage, sexual activity will not affect the fetus, but attention should still be paid to sexual hygiene and sexual positions. The woman may choose the missionary position or the side position to reduce abdominal pressure, but vigorous and intense sexual activity should still be avoided.
