A perfect sexual life in marriage makes the spouses happy and this happiness turns into synergy and has a positive effect on the other members of the family.

Sometimes, this situation can even result in the man cheating on his wife. Now let's learn all the facts from an expert!


Does sexual intercourse during pregnancy harm the baby?

Let's evaluate the pregnancy as 3 months and examine the period of sexual intercourse suitability separately.


How should sexual intercourse be in the first 3 months of pregnancy?

In the first months of pregnancy, the expectant mother's sexual desire may decrease slightly due to the changing physiology of the mother. The amount of sexual desire, which we call libido, may decrease due to nausea, changes in psychology, fear of harming the baby, and pain in the vagina or nipples. However, despite this, there is no harm in having sexual intercourse as long as the expectant mother does not get too worn out. In addition, the expectant mother can feel the feeling of orgasm more effectively with pregnancy. She can enjoy sexual intercourse more with an intense orgasm. The vagina will now become much more moist with pregnancy. In this case, it will both make sexual intercourse easier and more enjoyable and painless. It is an observed finding that libido increases with pregnancy in some expectant mothers. Sometimes, fathers cannot get close to their partners because they are worried that something will happen to their babies. There is absolutely no need for such anxiety. Sexual intercourse can be had in the first 3 months of pregnancy, provided that it is balanced and not exhausting. As we said, the expectant mother should be approached without being too harsh, without making her hateful or hurting her.


How should sexual intercourse be in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy?

There is no harm in sexual intercourse during the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. The mother-to-be has now gotten rid of the effects of nausea and is well accustomed to the pregnancy and her baby. Her psychology has also improved. Therefore, since she is happier, her sexual desire will also increase. In addition, since more blood flows to the vagina and nipples increase day by day during pregnancy, the feeling of orgasm will be felt both easier and more effectively during pregnancy. The mother-to-be will love sexual intercourse during this period.


However, during every sexual intercourse, small contractions occur in the uterus. These contractions are not felt by the mother-to-be. During pregnancy, contractions are felt due to the growing uterus. These contractions slow down the baby's movement. In problematic pregnancies, doctors make the necessary warnings and warn the patients. Normal pregnancies do not cause any problems. There is no need for couples to worry.


How should sexual intercourse be in the last 3 months of pregnancy ?

During this period, the complaints of the first period are replaced by complaints such as inability to sleep, fatigue, heartburn and burning. Contractions occur in the legs and uterus. With effects such as milk flow from the breast, the expectant mother may again feel a decrease in sexual pleasure. Taking into account the growing baby, it is beneficial for couples to have sexual intercourse by trying different methods in a way that the expectant mother can feel comfortable. The expectant mother will react greatly to the slightest pain in these months due to the fear of labor pain. She will not feel much sexual desire because she is preparing her psychology for birth.


Despite all this, during this period, the expectant mother will continue to have an easier orgasm and experience the moment of orgasm more intensely thanks to the increased blood flow. This situation continues until the last weeks. However, it is useful to be careful and not to wear out the expectant mother and to stay away from actions that will endanger the health of the baby.
