Pregnancy is the most special and beautiful, but sensitive time of a woman's life. During this time, many changes occur in the mind and body. Many questions also arise amidst these changes. One of the big questions among these is - should one have sex during pregnancy or not. Not only couples are hesitant about this question, but many kinds of misunderstandings are also spread in the society. Let us know what medical science says about this and what are the emotional facts...
What does medical science say?
If the pregnancy is normal and without any complications, then doctors believe that sex can be completely safe. The child is protected by the amniotic fluid and strong uterus layer in the mother's womb, so sex generally does not cause any harm to him. This means that the baby growing in the womb is well protected by the mother's womb, strong muscles and a layer of amniotic fluid. Along with this, the neck of the uterus (Cervix) is sealed with a Mucus Plug, which protects against bacteria and infection. That is, if there are no complications, then sex does not harm the baby growing in the womb.
When should sex be avoided during pregnancy?
1. Doctors advise to avoid sex in certain medical conditions. One of these is Placenta Previa, when the placenta is covering the neck of the uterus.
2. Risk of preterm labor, that is, if the delivery has happened before time in the past.
3. If there is frequent bleeding during pregnancy.
4. Leaking of amniotic fluid, that is, the water bag bursts.
5. The risk is slightly higher in multiple pregnancies such as twin conditions.
6. There has been a previous miscarriage or pregnancy complications.
Emotional benefits
If the woman is not suffering from any problem and the doctor has not forbidden it, then staying with the partner increases emotional bonding. At this time, the woman needs the closeness and love of the partner very much. This relaxes the hormones, which reduces stress. After orgasm, the body and mind relax. Blood circulation improves, which benefits both the mother and the child.
