Many couples often fall into trouble and disharmony in their sexual lives after their wives have a baby. On July 21, a survey on sex life during pregnancy conducted by the MSNBC website in the United States found that 65% of the 5,588 men surveyed felt that their wives were sexier during pregnancy and that sex would be better at this time; while among 4,004 women, Among the respondents, only 47% said they were willing to enjoy sex during pregnancy. MSNBC interviewed many experts and pointed out that research shows that having a good sexual experience during pregnancy can significantly enhance the confidence of pregnant women and help maintain a good marital relationship. And as long as you pay a little attention to sex at this time, it will not have any adverse effects on the fetus and pregnant women, so pregnant women should be encouraged to enjoy sex.

Emin Blot, author of the best-selling book "Facts, Tips, and Advice for Expectant Dads," points out that, in general, pregnancy is usually divided into three stages. During the first 3 months, a woman's sexual desire will decrease. Because many pregnant women will have strong pregnancy reactions during this period. After sex, you may feel discomfort and vomiting, which is indeed caused by "sex". Moreover, this stage is also more likely to lead to early miscarriage, so some doctors suggest that sex can be appropriately reduced in early pregnancy.

By the 4th month of pregnancy, women’s sexual desire will increase. Pregnant women will be emotionally stable and relaxed during this period. Due to the secretion of estrogen in the body, the breasts will be more sensitive; in addition, the vagina will become lubricated and easier to enter; without the need for contraception, women can enjoy pure body Stimulating and making it easier to reach climax. At this time, couples should enjoy sexual pleasure in a timely manner and relieve the pain of lovesickness. It is recommended to use side-lying or rear-entry positions, which do not compress the abdomen and can effectively stimulate sensitive zones.

Can I have sex during early pregnancy?

Generally speaking, sex is not prohibited during mid-pregnancy. A healthy and moderate sex life is not only acceptable, but can also greatly enhance the relationship between the couple and help promote fetal development. There is no scientific basis for fearing that sex life will harm the fetus.

Can we have sex in early pregnancy? Expectant mothers are about to become mothers, and they must be worried about the negative impact that sexual intercourse in the early stages of pregnancy will have on their fetuses. We recommend that you avoid or reduce sexual intercourse in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Because this is a time when miscarriage is easy to occur, especially for pregnant women who are at high risk of miscarriage.

What doctors may be concerned about is that after pregnancy, women’s requirements for sexual life and sexual response are reduced 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. . Therefore, it is best not to have sex in early pregnancy.

Sexual intercourse in the third trimester of pregnancy is often inconvenient and should be avoided as much as possible. Especially one month before delivery, the harm caused by sexual intercourse is more obvious.

Doctors divide pregnancy into three periods, the first trimester, the second trimester and the third trimester. For pregnant women, sexual desire is indifferent during the first and third trimester of pregnancy and the requirements are not high.

Usually this is because the center of fatigue and excitement shifts to concern for the fetus, for fear of squeezing and touching the child. In the second trimester, as pregnancy reactions gradually lessen and the body adapts, sexual requirements recover.

However, as a husband, a newlywed is not mentally prepared for being a father, and is still immersed in the high excitement of newlyweds, and it is often difficult to control himself. Therefore, it is necessary to remind everyone why wives should abstain from sexual intercourse after pregnancy?

From conception to the first three months of pregnancy, it is the initial development stage of the embryo. The placenta has not yet formed, and the embryo is not firmly attached to the mother's uterus. If you are not careful, it is often easy to fall off, causing miscarriage.

Therefore, it is best not to have sexual intercourse in the first three months of pregnancy, especially for women who have been infertile for many years after marriage and have had a history of spontaneous abortion. In the second trimester of pregnancy, the uterus gradually enlarges, the amount of amniotic fluid in the fetal membranes also increases, and the tension also increases.

At this time, there is no need to be as taboo as in the first three months. But it should be noted that if there are too many sexual intercourses, the movements are too violent, or the man's movements are rough, unpleasant things may easily happen.

In the second trimester, in addition to trying to control and reduce sexual impulses and being gentle in movements, the man should also adopt sexual intercourse positions that are conducive to protecting the uterus and fetus, such as side intercourse or posterior intercourse. Neither of these two positions will cause Direct compression of the fetus is the most complete position in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, which is the last three months of pregnancy, intercourse is inconvenient and should be avoided as much as possible. Especially one month before delivery, the harm caused by sexual intercourse is more obvious. The chances of the above-mentioned situations are greatly increased, which can lead to amniotic fluid infection in pregnant women and increase the risk of fetal and neonatal death.

During his wife's pregnancy, in addition to taking the initiative to care about his wife's health, the husband must also think more about the future baby. He must not be greedy for temporary happiness, forget about everything, and do regretful things that he will never regret.

We must adhere to the following principles: no sexual intercourse in the early and late stages of pregnancy, and less sexual intercourse in the second trimester. People with a history of miscarriage and habitual miscarriage should be especially careful and sexual intercourse should be strictly prohibited. Sexual intercourse is also prohibited one month before delivery.

By the way, when is the best time to resume sexual intercourse after giving birth? Generally speaking, sexual intercourse should be prohibited for at least one month, preferably two months, after delivery, because the vagina is particularly loose after delivery, coupled with low estrogen levels, flat vaginal mucosa, reduced folds, and poor elasticity.

It is easy to cause vaginal pain or epithelial damage during intercourse. In addition, damage to the birth canal and incomplete contraction of the cervix can easily cause postpartum infection. Therefore, it is not possible to judge and decide whether sexual intercourse can be resumed based on whether the lochia is clean. It is not uncommon for vaginal walls to tear and cause massive bleeding if they have intercourse soon after giving birth.
