Love is the glue that strengthens the relationship between husband and wife. It is a normal physiological need like breathing, eating, and sleeping. It will not disappear because of pregnancy, especially for prospective dads. It seems that abstinence for prospective dads for 10 months seems to be It's a little cruel. However, many prospective parents choose to refuse love for the health of their babies. Pregnancy love is actually not that scary, it not only allows us to maintain close contact with our significant other, but also makes us believe that no matter how we feel or look, we still have each other's love.
When can I have intercourse during pregnancy?
Pregnancy sex life is divided into four stages: first trimester, second trimester, third trimester, and after 36 weeks of pregnancy. Sexual life should be reduced in the first trimester, appropriate in the second trimester, and avoided as much as possible in the third trimester. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited after 36 weeks of pregnancy.
In the second trimester, the early pregnancy reaction has passed, the placenta has been relatively firm, and the pregnancy has entered a stable period; the pregnant woman's mood begins to become more comfortable. Due to the action of hormones, the libido of pregnant women increases. Coupled with the barrier function of placenta and amniotic fluid, it can buffer external stimuli and effectively protect the fetus. Therefore, moderate sexual activity in the second trimester of pregnancy is also beneficial to the conjugal love of the couple and the healthy development of the fetus.
Studies at home and abroad have shown that when couples are in love with each other during pregnancy, the children born are quick-witted, have early language development and are healthy. The kissing and touching between the parents and the considerate sex life can make the mother feel happy and full of emotions. Invisibly, it played the role of emotional prenatal education.
Pregnancy love must pay attention to cleaning
Due to the increase in vaginal secretions of expectant mothers during pregnancy, the resistance to bacteria will also be weakened, and they are susceptible to infection, resulting in miscarriage. Expectant dads should also take cleaning measures and be careful not to insert their fingers into the vagina to avoid infection.
about frequency and posture
In fact, there is no fixed number for the frequency, as long as the husband and wife negotiate well, so that sex life does not become a physical burden for pregnant women. If you have low back pain, physical discomfort, etc., you should reduce the frequency of sexual life. If there is still discomfort after the frequency is reduced, it is best to explain to your husband and temporarily stop sex. Sex life in the second trimester should be 1-2 times a week, and avoid fatigue.
During pregnancy, you must remember a big principle, that is, you must not press on the expectant mother's belly! Therefore, you should choose some more comfortable and labor-saving postures, such as women's upper and lower men's, side lying, sitting, and back. At all stages of pregnancy, both husband and wife should understand and understand each other to ensure the safety and health of mother and child.
