In the past, it was generally believed that sexual activity should be strictly avoided during pregnancy as it could lead to intrauterine infections, premature rupture of membranes, or placental abruption. Nowadays, with the progress of spiritual civilization and changes in understanding, everyone believes that sexual activity can also be carried out during pregnancy, but sexual activity should start after three months of pregnancy. So what are the correct sexual positions during pregnancy?
1. Women should avoid putting pressure on their stomachs during pregnancy, as rough movements can endanger the safety of both mother and baby. During sexual intercourse, expectant mothers can control the intensity and depth of insertion themselves, which is relatively safe for both spouses.
2. Expectant fathers must use their arms to support their strength, avoiding too deep insertion or intense sprinting to prevent cervical injury, bleeding, or uterine contractions.
3. Lie on your side. This is one of the safer sexual positions among many, without worrying about pressing on the pregnant woman's abdomen. In addition, both partners can adopt a female upper male lower position or the same side lying position. The female partner can lift one foot and place it on the male partner's shoulder or pillow, which will make the expectant mother more comfortable.
4. Lying by the bed. One foot is fixed on the bed, while the other foot is suspended under the bed and supported by certain objects. By using this method for sexual activity, expectant mothers can not only rest, but also avoid getting too deep or intense. They must be careful not to press their stomachs.
Due to the incomplete formation of the placenta during the first three months of pregnancy, if the placenta is too tight, sexual intercourse with couples may lead to miscarriage. After three months of pregnancy, due to the formation of the placenta, progesterone levels significantly increase and the uterus remains relatively stable, making sexual activity relatively safe. But both husband and wife must pay attention to the posture of sexual activity to avoid accidentally harming the fetus in the abdomen.
