Pregnancy: Can I have sex?Photo: Getty Images I want to reassure most expectant mothers: if pregnancy proceeds without complications, do not deprive yourself and the wife of love comforts. But how to understand that everything is normal, if only the test showed two treasured strips? Experts recommend waiting at least a few weeks for the fetus to attach itself to the wall of the uterus. This time. And secondly - the mother's organism perceives the embryo as a foreign body, which must be disposed of, and not accidentally "help" him, it is necessary to avoid not only sexual contacts, but also great physical activity, hot baths and baths, sudden movements. It is necessary to lie to the bottom, so to speak. The first ultrasound, in which the doctor will convince you that everything is in order, usually takes 10-12 weeks, at the end of the first trimester. After receiving the "good" from the doctor, you can act. Frankly, perhaps the first three months you will not even have sex - toxicosis after all, irritability, drowsiness, hormonal adjustment, etc. But it is worth paying attention to several factors , which should alert you. Contraindications for having sex are: · Threatening the termination of pregnancy · Multiple pregnancy · Bleeding · Insecurity of the cervix when it is possible to prematurely open it · Rupture of the fetal bladder · Leaking of the amniotic fluid or its outflow · Placental presentation · Infectious diseases.
When can you have sex?
Is it possible to have sex during pregnancythe second trimester? If all the above factors are excluded, then it is even necessary. The mother enjoys the process, and the baby will definitely not feel bad. Plus - closeness with a loved one. True, there are families where the husband believes that he can somehow harm the child. Experts unanimously say that this is impossible: the baby is under the reliable protection of the amniotic membranes and the muscles of the uterus. Sexual desires in pregnant women manifest themselves in different ways: someone is so "bursting" that they are ready several times a day, and someone does not have it at all. In the first case, doctors advise not to get carried away, after all, this is an additional burden on the body. And in the second, it is worth sorting out yourself and understanding why you do not want to. Perhaps your regime is so busy that, reaching the bedroom, you fall off your feet. If so, it's time to change something in your life, the time for short and long distance runs is over, rest more, enjoy your position and life. Do not forget that having sex during pregnancy can be uncomfortable: the breasts become too sensitive, and not all caresses of the partner can be pleasant; the growing uterus presses on the bladder and intestines; the lower abdomen is tense even at rest. One-time unpleasant sensations are not a reason to give up sexual life. They are a reason to listen to yourself, and not blindly follow the desires of your partner. At this time of life, this is more important. There is an opinion that sex during pregnancy can cause contractions. In general, experts recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse 6 weeks before the expected date of birth of the child. But it has also been established that if the uterus and fetus are not ripe for childbirth, then no orgasm will provoke them. In addition, if the baby is late, doctors strongly recommend "stimulating" its appearance in such a pleasant natural way. Sex during pregnancy can become a taboo for women who do not like physical changes in their appearance - wide hips, a big belly. Here it is worth remembering that many men find pregnant women truly beautiful, and not only in clothes. Trust your partner. What you should pay attention to is the positions. Sex during pregnancy is rather monotonous, because you have to look for comfortable positions, and having found them, use only them. After all, lovemaking should be a pleasure for both spouses.
