Is it possible to engage in sexual activity during pregnancy?

Early pregnancy and late pregnancy should avoid sexual intercourse, while moderate sexual intercourse is allowed during the second trimester. From a medical theoretical perspective, sexual activity during pregnancy is not prohibited. Healthy and moderate sexual activity can not only enhance the intimate relationship between husband and wife, but also experience the pleasure of sex, and it can also help promote the development of the fetus. However, it is important to note that sexual intercourse should be avoided during early and late pregnancy, and moderate sexual intercourse is allowed during the second trimester.

Many people recommend that pregnant women should minimize or avoid sexual intercourse during early pregnancy. This is because the fetus is unstable during early pregnancy and is most prone to miscarriage, especially for pregnant women with a high risk of miscarriage. Especially in the first 3 months of pregnancy, on the one hand, the placenta has not yet developed maturely, and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight. On the other hand, the secretion of progesterone is insufficient to provide strong support for the embryo. Sexual activity at this time may cause miscarriage.

In addition, after pregnancy, women's endocrine function changes, early pregnancy reactions, and concerns about the impact on the embryo can reduce their desire and response to sexual activity. Therefore, it is best to avoid sexual intercourse during early pregnancy.

Sexual activity during pregnancy is not prohibited, but if there is occasional sexual activity during pregnancy, the following points should be noted: 1. In addition to not being too intense, sexual activity during pregnancy should also minimize or avoid sexual activity in the first 3 months of pregnancy and the last 2 months of pregnancy. 2. If there are symptoms such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding during sexual activity during pregnancy, medical attention should be sought. 3. During the last 2 months of early pregnancy and late pregnancy, doctors may consider the possibility of miscarriage or preterm birth. Pregnant women with a history of multiple miscarriages or preterm births should be cautious to reduce the risk of recurrent miscarriages or preterm births; those with obstetric reasons such as placenta previa who are not suitable for sexual intercourse; and those with severe complications are also not suitable for sexual intercourse.
