During the ten month gestation period, pregnant women need to pay attention to many related matters, and it is not completely impossible to have sexual intercourse during pregnancy. However, there are many precautions when having sexual intercourse. If the sexual intercourse method is incorrect, it will affect the growth, development, and health of the fetus. However, some pregnant women may experience small abdominal pain after sexual intercourse. So, what is the reason for small abdominal pain in pregnant women after having sexual intercourse?
Pregnant women experiencing lower abdominal pain after sharing a bed may be caused by uterine contractions due to sexual stimulation. Pregnant women need to observe this situation. If the pain is only mild, they should rest in bed and closely monitor their physical condition. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by bleeding, they should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner and take targeted measures under the guidance of a doctor.
Pregnant women should avoid sexual activity during the first three months and the second three months of pregnancy to prevent premature birth or miscarriage. Sexual activity should only be carried out appropriately in mid pregnancy, but not too frequently and with gentle movements. Both partners should also pay attention to personal hygiene before and after sexual intercourse to prevent cross infection.
During pregnancy, when engaging in sexual activity, it is also important to pay attention to the choice of body position. The principle of not compressing the pregnant woman's abdomen is usually to adopt a lateral position. In addition, the movements should not be too intense, and excessive force should not be used to avoid strong stimulation of the uterus. The duration should not be too long.
