Sex during pregnancy

All pregnant women and their husbands wonder whether sex during pregnancy is safe. Is it possible to make love to a pregnant woman or it would be better to abstain from sex during this period? This problem is solved in different ways. Some couples continue intimate relationships; others refuse sex being afraid of miscarriage. However, such couples should not take a decision on their own without consulting a doctor. Only a doctor can determine whether sex life during pregnancy would be harmless or not.

No one is going to contradict to the fact that sexual relationships (like all other aspects of family life) undergo some changes during pregnancy and after childbirth. Let us see what these changes are.

If there are no medical contraindications (such as high risk of termination of pregnancy, habitual miscarrying of pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, premature labor, multiple pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and others) you can have sex during pregnancy. In some cases it is even necessary. The latest scientific researches have proved this fact.

Here are some advantages of sex during pregnancy:

- Hormones of pleasure the woman receives while having sex with a beloved man are useful for future child

- A couple does not need contraception when having sex during pregnancy

- Wombs muscles contract during intercourse and thus get ready for labor. The contractions during labor will be more productive, there will not be uterine inertia (poor uterine contraction) and the cervix will open quicker being provided with sufficient amount of hormones.

- Orgasm in a pregnant woman provokes womb contractions. This is quite natural and these contractions are not harmful for future baby. Bear in mind that while womb is not ready for delivery, contractions during orgasm cannot cause the beginning of labor. But if there are a few weeks or even days left, the organism is likely provoke delivery. Therefore doctors advice sexual intercourse as a good beginning of delivery on 39-40 week of pregnancy.

Bear in mind that you cannot harm the baby. Nature secures the baby with several protective layers: abdominal wall with muscles, double fat layer and thick connective tissue, the very womb consisting of muscles, fetal bladder filled with water that counteracts all vibrations and mucus plug that plugs up cervix.

It should be noted that libido of a pregnant woman can increase as well as decrease. This depends on initial sexual activity of a woman and hormonal status in different periods of pregnancy.

Some pregnant women lack or even do not have sexual drive. This is also quite natural: during pregnancy female body produces so called hormone of calmness; her organism is getting ready for maternity. Women waiting for their first babies worry much about their new state and are afraid of delivery. These thoughts also prevent them from willingness to have sex. Husbands of such women should not insist on intimate relationships. Health and calmness of a pregnant woman is above all.

Strangely enough, many husbands of pregnant women experience lack of libido as well as their wives. This can be explained by the fact that they worry abut the wifes health and about such simple problems as buying baby cot, clothes, possible repair and other things concerning appearance of new family member.

However, there are women who on the contrary experience a great increase of libido. These women successfully combine getting ready for childbirth and enjoying sex life.

Anyway ,a couple should be ready to make their sex life less intensive and frequent. Also they should avoid some sex positions.

Besides this pregnant women must not:

- Have oral sex (cunilingus)

-Have sex with new (possible infected) partners because there is a high risk to get a harmful for the future mother and baby disease

If delivery did not have any complications ( such as breakage of perineum or surgical interventions), than sexual abstinence must last for 6-8 weeks. However, many couples cannot stand such a long period. In this connection it can be recommended not to have sex at least till the end of blood discharges. Often during the first two months after childbirth women lack vaginal discharges, so a couple should certainly use some additional lubricants.

Immediately after childbirth a woman must begin using some method of contraception. Contrary to common opinion, many mothers ovulate and have menstruations while breastfeeding. Therefore these women are as likely to get pregnant as all others.

To sum up we can say that sex during pregnancy is possible and sometimes even necessary, but future parents should be careful and follow doctors advice. Sex during pregnancy makes waiting for baby happy and enjoyable. Believe it or not, baby shares the mothers emotions. Let your baby be happy together with you.
