Having sex during pregnancy

Children are born because mom and dad have sex. But sometimes an intimate life is under the ban - this is a necessary condition for the birth of a healthy baby. Find out if it's good to have sex during pregnancy or not.

Pregnancy planning

Temporarily refraining from sex, parents can affect the sex of the unborn child, It depends on which chromosome - X or Y - the daddies carry spermatozoa. "Female" X are slow, but live longer than "boyish" Y-spermatozoa. And those, in turn, are vulnerable, but the nestlers - run to the egg faster. It is believed that couples who want to find an heir must regularly, at least once a week, have sex for a month, and then take a break for 1.5-2 weeks just before ovulation. During this time, the concentration of "male" spermatozoa will increase. If the heiress is desired, it will be necessary to abstain for at least a month - the hormonal system of the man will be reconstructed, Y-spermatozoa will become smaller, and X - more. This phenomenon was described as far back as the 1950s: the captains of deep sea fishing or the geologists who perished on expeditions had twice as many girls as boys when they returned. Isolation is the in vitro fertilization. The future dad will have to make a spermogram after 3-7 days of abstinence. Then, before the procedure for the collection of eggs and the ECO itself, a break in sexual life will have to be repeated - this will increase the activity of spermatozoa.

During pregnancy

About sex will have to be forgotten if there is a threat of termination of pregnancy: the future mother has spotting, leaking amniotic fluid, low placentation. Most likely, the doctor will prescribe a sexual rest and in that case if earlier the woman already had miscarriages or if inside - twins. Of course, contraindications to sex are infections. In all other cases, modern doctors not only allow, but even recommend sexual relations: they give pleasure to spouses and strengthen the family. To be protected costs or stands during the critical periods - days, in "dobirennoj" a life corresponding menstruation. Complications of labor, for example a rupture or incision of the perineum with subsequent suturing, may increase the period of abstinence. It is important that the wounds fully healed, and how much time it takes - 2 weeks or 2-3 months, depends on the individual characteristics of the female body and on the conditions of rehabilitation. Even after complete recovery, many women report increased sensitivity or even soreness in the traumatized areas during the first postpartum sexual intercourse. In this tender zone there are many nerve endings that are damaged during childbirth and are "clamped" in the seams. The configuration of the vagina can change and (especially at first) its elasticity. Therefore, even the usual poses can cause discomfort. The medicine here is one thing - the tenderness and delicacy of a man, the search for new positions that suit both partners. Help and special exercises Kegel for intimate muscles. True, the woman herself may not want sex, especially in the first trimester. It is believed that the last six weeks before childbirth is not the best time for sex.

During childbirth

15th book of the 19th century "On the National Russian Obstetrics" describes the customs according to which the husband of the pregnant woman before the very birth or at the beginning of the fights commits intercourse with the wife, "indicating the way to the baby". Then the doctors believed that sexual contact significantly facilitates childbirth. In some ways, our ancestors were right, For example, if a woman "pans" a pregnancy for more than forty weeks, you can resort to unprotected sex as a birth stimulant, male sperm contains natural prostaglandins that prepare the cervix for opening. But, of course, in a modern maternity hospital, a husband and wife, even "giving birth" together, are unlikely to be able to have sex in the presence of medical personnel. A man can show tenderness differently: make a wife a massage, help her breathe in the right rhythm, calm and encourage. But one of the legendary obstetrician-gynecologists Michel Auden believed that sexual fluids during childbirth are not the place: in the presence of a beloved, the woman is "clamped", ashamed, and labor is hampered.

After childbirth

The recovery of the pelvic organs in women takes about six weeks. The uterus and the birth cord should be reduced, the mucosa should grow. Sign of the fact that sex is lit a green light, - the cessation of discharge. Renew sexual activity should only after consulting a gynecologist. The statement that many women just after giving birth begin to experience orgasm is nothing more than a myth. Indeed, the birth changes both the physiology and the psychology of the woman. But they are not a panacea for anorgasmia. On the contrary, because of the stretching of the walls of the vagina and the loss of their sensitivity, complete satisfaction can be difficult to achieve for both sides of the act. Fortunately, this is a temporary phenomenon.
