SEX DURING PREGNANCY, IS IT SAFE?
This is one of the questions most new couples who are expecting for the first time will ask.
While some are scared it can cause miscarriage, others believe it can result in developmental problems.
Some men will also completely avoid their wives with the intention of protecting the unborn baby and also to give their partners some space.
Some women will also avoid having sex due to the hormonal and emotional changes that occur with pregnancy.
It is worth knowing that sex during pregnancy is
#safe and does not pose a problem to the mum or unborn baby. Baby is enclosed in its sac/membranes and the opening of the uterus the cervix is also closed. It also has a mucus plug that prevents anything from entering the uterus.
What is important is to have considerations. The pregnancy hormones and the early signs and symptoms can make a woman not desire to be intimate. It's important for her partner to be considerate to support her through the process. There are times she will want to be intimate, there are times she will refrain. Make use of her happy days.
Some women who have had repeated abortions or threatened abortions may be advised by their doctors or midwives to avoid sex especially if an incompetent cervix is diagnosed.
Couples can have sex from the second trimester of the pregnancy. It is only to be
#avoided when your midwife or doctor advises you due to your health condition.
During the last trimester, couples can still have sex. What is needed is to assume a position that will not put pressure on the abdomen and also the woman will be comfortable. It should also be gentle.
During the last trimester when labor is about to set in, it is believed to help trigger the onset of labor. The semen also contains prostaglandin which also helps to soften the cervix and help labor to start.
Its also important to know that, you really do not need sex to maintain your pregnancy. Baby is safe and mum is also safe. Women should not be compelled to have sex if they don't feel like or are currently not in any relationship whilst pregnant. Labor will still be initiated naturally.
