Can I have sex during pregnancy? Do not have sex in the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy to avoid miscarriage. The condition of the fetus and pregnant woman is relatively stable in the second trimester, and the period can be determined according to the situation.

1. In the early stages of pregnancy, sexual life should be appropriately reduced

After pregnancy, women’s requirements for sexual life and sexual response decrease due to changes in endocrine function, early pregnancy reactions and concerns about the impact on the embryo. In the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, the placenta is not yet mature and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight. On the other hand, progesterone is not secreted enough to provide strong protection for the embryo. Having sex at this time may cause miscarriage. .

2. Appropriate sexual life in the second trimester

In the second trimester of pregnancy, the placenta has formed and the pregnancy is relatively stable; early pregnancy reactions have also passed, sexual desire increases, and sexual intercourse can be moderate. Moderate sexual intercourse during the second trimester is beneficial to the love between husband and wife and the healthy development of the fetus. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that a harmonious and affectionate relationship between husband and wife during pregnancy, and a happy mood for pregnant women, can effectively promote the growth and development of the fetus. The children born will be responsive, have language development and be healthy. However, sexual life does not mean that the more the better, it must be arranged reasonably, and attention must be paid to the posture and frequency of sexual intercourse to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.

3. In the third trimester of pregnancy, sexual life should be avoided as much as possible

In the late stages of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's abdomen is obviously bulging, her body shape and weight have changed significantly, her body is bulky, her back is sore, and her sexual desire is reduced. The sensitivity of the uterus increases, and any external stimulation, even a mild shock, can easily cause uterine contractions and trigger premature labor.
