Low risk can have sexual intercourse during pregnancy

Mothers can have sexual intercourse during pregnancy, especially when they have no problems with pregnancy or are in the low-risk category. According to research from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) 2011, the following conditions are low-risk pregnancies:

1. Single or non-twin pregnancy.
2. There is no history of disease, such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
3. There is no history of infection in the intimate organs, such as in the vagina.
4. There has never been a history of prematurity.
5. Don’t have any problems in pregnancy, such as spots or bleeding during pregnancy.
6. Have no problems with the placenta
7. No abnormal vaginal discharge

Aside from this low risk, it was never mentioned that there were any other issues that prohibited sexual intercourse during pregnancy.

Plan for sex during pregnancy

In general, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), married couples can have sex regularly, that is, 1 to 3 times a week. This frequency of sexual intercourse also applies to pregnant mothers.

But let’s go back to the condition of every mother, regardless of whether or not there is a high risk of pregnancy.

Have sex in each trimester of pregnancy

So far, there are no rules for having sex in every trimester of pregnancy. However, there are some tips to consider before having sex in any trimester of pregnancy, Mom. Here is the full explanation:

1. Quarter 1

In early pregnancy, changes during pregnancy can disrupt the psychology of sexual intercourse. In addition, you will also experience mood swings and nausea.

Doctors recommend that sexual intercourse be minimized or not at all in the 1st trimester.However, if pregnancy is fine and the risk is low, pregnant women can have intercourse.

2. Quarter 2

Mothers can start having regular sex in the second trimester. But, before having sex, you should first consult a doctor. Also, first see if there is a problem or not, there is a feeling of tightness in the stomach or a feeling of spots appears after the relationship.

Frequent contractions after sex

Having sex can cause small twitches, although pregnant women are included in the low-risk group. This can be caused by the sperm hitting the cervix, thereby triggering the prostaglandins.

If the contractions occur frequently and are of high intensity, it is necessary to use a condom or throw semen during intercourse.

3. Quarter 3

Is it true that having sex can induce labor?

Having sex can in fact induce labor in the third trimester of pregnancy. Even so, it definitely doesn’t cause labor, Mom.

In theory, semen that enters during intercourse can induce contractions or a sign of labor. When sperm hits the cervix, they are called inflammatory substances called prostaglandins that can induce labor.

In the last trimester, prostaglandins are already present because the placenta is large enough and the fetus is ready to come out. Well, by having sex, prostaglandins are increasingly “called” to induce labor.

Is it true that having sex accelerates contractions?

Sexual intercourse to facilitate labor can be done at the end of the third trimester or from week 37 onwards. But keep in mind that labor is not just about contractions, but about premature rupture of membranes.

The condition of premature rupture of the membranes is in fact associated with contractions of labor, which can be triggered by high levels of prostaglandins or the patient is in a high-risk group. So, before having sex during pregnancy, you should consult a doctor first. Don’t let the birth process be high-risk as well.

The condition of the fetus when pregnant women have sex

Having sex during pregnancy will not harm the fetus. This is because the fetus is well protected in the womb.

In theory, sex is only in the vagina. The position of the fetus from the vagina to the uterus is separated from the cervix or cervix which is about 3-4 cm long. The fetus is also protected by the amniotic membrane and amniotic fluid, which makes it safe for sexual intercourse.

Do pregnancy hormones increase libido in pregnancy?

A woman’s libido can increase when she is pregnant, especially when she is pregnant with a boy. This is caused by the androgen hormone or the so-called “boy’s hormone”.

Even so, pregnancy can also decrease libido or desire for sex, Mom. This is triggered by changes experienced during pregnancy, such as mood or psychological changes and physical changes in the second or third trimester.

Sexual positions for pregnant women

There are no specific sex positions that should be avoided or recommended during pregnancy. The most important thing is that pregnant women feel comfortable with their chosen sexual position.

Even so, it is not recommended to have sex with extreme positions. Mothers also need to avoid positions that can trigger contractions, such as preventing sperm from hitting the cervix.

If you are concerned about this sexual position, you should consult a doctor first. Especially to avoid contractions at the beginning of the third trimester.

Oral sex during pregnancy

Oral sex during pregnancy is not prohibited. But mom and dad have to ensure cleanliness during sexual intercourse.

As long as there are no sexually transmitted infections or diseases, oral sex is allowed during pregnancy. So far, no adverse effects of oral sex have been reported, except those related to hygiene.

Blowing the vagina during sex

Vaginal blowing is usually done during oral sex. Some myths say that vaginal blowing can be fatal, especially in pregnancy.

In fact, blowing the vagina does not cause any serious problems. Because, anatomically, the vagina is tightly closed. If nothing opens with a strong push, it will not have a negative effect.

Several things can open the vagina such as the penis entering the vagina (intercourse), the baby exiting during labor (delivery) or medical procedures that open the vagina.

The bad effect of the air entering the vagina is venous embolism. Although dangerous, this case is hardly reported so far, Mom.
