The reasons for not having sex during pregnancy
Medics about sex, when a woman is "in an interesting situation," reason like this. Sex with a normally occurring pregnancy does not cause any danger. But there are objective reasons, because of which sexual intercourse during pregnancy is impossible. It:
- multiple pregnancies;
- presence of genital tract infections in the partner;
- Low situated placenta;
- leakage of the amniotic fluid;
bleeding and bleeding from the vagina;
- frequent miscarriage;
- risk of miscarriage.
Doctors until the twelfth week of pregnancy to have sex more often do not recommend - that lovers do not provoke a miscarriage. This is the most crucial time when pregnancy is the most vulnerable. During this period, the main organs of the fetus are laid. But this is not an obligatory ban, but rather a security against undesirable consequences.
In the last two weeks sex is fraught with premature birth. But if the term of birth has already come, and the cervix opens very slowly, the doctors themselves prescribe sex as a stimulation of labor.
Physicians during pregnancy do not recommend practicing cunnilingus (mouth contains hundreds of species of bacteria), use vibrators and engage in anal sex (much more severe contractions of the uterus occur than with normal sex).
If these contraindications do not exist, then doctors are allowed to have sex during pregnancy.
Than useful sex during pregnancy
With a normal pregnancy, sex can be even useful, because:
- in the sperm of the partner contains the enzymes, prostaglandins, male hormones necessary for a woman and even for a child;
- prostaglandins provide softening of the cervix and its effective opening during childbirth;
- if sex for a woman is a pleasure, then the state of satisfaction favorably affects the well-being of the woman and the fetus;
- The employment of sex is a kind of training of the uterus muscles for future contractions.
Doctors advise not to forget that when you have sex during pregnancy, you can not create pressure on the stomach. Therefore, recommend the following poses: standing on your knees, from above, sitting, on your side. By the way, the pose on the side is the most successful on the third trimester of pregnancy. It should be understood that the penetration of the male sexual organ should not be too sharp, strong and deep.
Psychologists about sex during pregnancy
When pregnancy is not accompanied by toxicosis, it proceeds normally, then only female (male) complexes and fears can interfere with sex. Men need to know that:
- Only self-confident, calm woman will be happy about sex;
- a woman who has a violent restructuring of the body, sooner or later will begin to doubt her own attractiveness in the eyes of her beloved, and therefore needs more confessions of love and compliments;
- A pregnant woman needs a double dose of physical contact and tenderness;
- do not be afraid, the future baby does not look after you, but the pleasure from sex can survive with your mother;
- if the doctors do not forbid you sex, do not be afraid to harm the child with sexual intercourse; the fetus is well protected in the womb;
- the breast of a woman in the first three weeks is painfully sensitive;
- Thanks to hormones, a woman in the second trimester is maximally located to a sexual act.
If necessary, it is useful for a man and a woman to go all together for a consultation with a psychologist. After all, not only women have to adapt to large-scale changes in the body. Men also find it difficult to accept a new female image. When a slender, pretty girl forms a pregnant woman with changes in shape, behavior, with emotional splashes. Also the man is frightened by kicks and jerks of the child. During sex, it may seem to him that the child behind them "peeps", etc. Of course, the pregnant woman is beautiful in her own way. It causes respect and is worthy of reverence. But men, especially the young, especially when pregnancy was not planned, may panic. In this case, without the help of a psychologist, family relations may be in jeopardy. The most important thing is not to distance yourself from each other in such a difficult and responsible period. It is necessary to share experiences with each other. Consult with other people who have gone through this.
Of course, it is difficult for a pregnant woman, but even in such a difficult state she can help her loved one and above all herself. She must try and continue to perceive herself as a woman, take care of herself, style her hair, continue to be beautiful and fashionable to dress. Fortunately, the fashion industry for pregnant women is well developed. In this case, the man will also see that former princess, even if changed, to which he gave his heart.
An indispensable condition for harmonious sexual relations is the support of a sufficiently active pace of life. Do not forget about friendly gatherings, meetings in restaurants, about exhibitions, theaters, going to the movies, walking under the moon, kebabs in the nature, etc. Explain yourself and explain to your companion: pregnancy is not a disease. Yes - complications are possible, yes - we have to put up with restrictions. But pregnancy is the most natural condition for a woman. After all, she is the continuer of the family, the giver of life. Pregnancy corrects a woman's private life, but does not cancel her.
Listen to the opinion of doctors about sex during pregnancy. If doctors forbid you sex during pregnancy for medical reasons, then this is not a big problem for the intimate sphere. You are prohibited only from sexual intercourse. Hugs, kisses, petting, no one cancels. Doctors do not forbid to give pleasure to a beloved man by caressing hands or even oral sex. The main thing is to keep emotional and physical contact during pregnancy.
