As long as the expectant father and the expectant mother are healthy, they can still have a normal sex life during pregnancy. But there are generally two concerns: 1. Uterine contractions during orgasm may lead to miscarriage or premature birth; 2. Bacterial infection caused by penile insertion. Therefore, if the following situations may endanger the health and safety of the expectant mother and fetus, sexual life must be temporarily stopped.
1. Previous miscarriage experience
If you\’ve had a miscarriage in the past, your doctor may recommend abstinence during the first few months of pregnancy until the risk of miscarriage has passed.
2. When there is a threat of miscarriage
If expectant mothers experience vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain during or after sexual intercourse, they should seek medical examination promptly. If there are signs of miscarriage, she should temporarily stop having sex.
3. The father-to-be has sexually transmitted diseases
Sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted to pregnant women and fetuses during sexual intercourse, so sexual intercourse should be prohibited until they are completely cured.
4. Vaginal inflammation of expectant mothers
This bacteria can be transmitted to the fetus during sexual intercourse, so sexual intercourse should be avoided until it is completely cured.
5. When there is a problem with the placenta
If the expectant mother has placenta previa, or the placenta is not tightly connected to the uterus, intercourse may lead to miscarriage. Sexual life should be temporarily stopped and resumed after the situation stabilizes.
