Is intimacy and sex prohibited during pregnancy?
Many pregnant people are worried about having sex during pregnancy, and they don’t know if it should be done or not. The answer to this question is that sex during pregnancy is not prohibited and the fetus is not harmed.
Although the fetus forms and continues to live in the womb, the fetus is actually located in the gestational sac, which is of a special type that fully supports the fetus, and on the other hand, the amniotic fluid is located around the fetus, which acts as a shock absorber and allows It does not allow the blows to the mother’s stomach to harm the fetus. Similarly, the fleshy wall of the uterus creates a lot of resistance against the environment. Therefore, intercourse does not harm the fetus.
On the other hand, many pregnant mothers and some men experience a decrease in sexual desire due to these fears, and some do not have sex during the entire pregnancy. While this action weakens the foundation of their life and is completely without cause.
Of course, in some cases, due to certain risks, intimacy is prohibited by the doctor, including those who are bleeding or have a history of frequent miscarriages, or those who have placenta previa in the third trimester of pregnancy and the placenta is low, as well as those Those who have cervical insufficiency and short cervix should not have sexual intercourse, and especially those who are prone to premature labor, such as those who have uterine contractions or have a history of premature labor, should not have sexual intercourse.
Sometimes, vaginal bleeding occurs after intercourse, in which case intercourse should be avoided for a few days to stop the bleeding.
In general, the desire for sexual relations decreases due to the above reasons, but in some cases, the mother experiences an increase in sexual desire due to not having to worry about pregnancy and the increase in sex hormones. In men, in the same way, some experience an increase and some decrease this desire.
Among other things that should be paid attention to is the issue of blood supply to the fetus, especially in the last trimester. At this time, if the mother sleeps on her back (arched) for a long time, there is a possibility of reducing blood supply to the fetus, which should be taken care of during intercourse.
Among other cases, intercourse is forbidden when a man has genital herpes because this disease is dangerous for the fetus if it is transmitted to the mother.
Another thing that should be considered is the condition of the mother after giving birth. At this time, due to the sharp drop in sex hormones, the internal tissue of the mother’s body dries up like menopausal people, and as a result, intercourse will be painful.
On the other hand, at this time, due to mild postpartum depression, as well as anemia and lack of sleep during breastfeeding and after childbirth, women’s libido drops drastically, but with a little attention, patience and tolerance, the mother’s condition will return to normal. returns
It should also be known that in mothers who give birth naturally, it is not possible to have intercourse for up to six weeks, and in people who have had a cesarean section, this period is reduced to two weeks, but in all cases, the mother’s desire for sexual relations should be given importance and attention Pay special attention to this issue.
