Pregnancy and sex. To be or not to be?

Pregnancy and sex are two inseparable concepts. It's not a secret that pregnancy invariably follows from sex, however, as practice shows, not everything is so simple. Why during pregnancy is the attitude to sex changing dramatically? First of all, this is due to the fact that the girls simply are afraid of harming the baby with intimate relationships during this period, which leads either to the complete removal of sexual intimacy, or to minimize it.

Here you should immediately understand some of the nuances. Pregnancy and sex are completely compatible, so do not worry about it. The baby is in the uterus in amniotic fluid, there it is perfectly protected by layers of tissue (connective, muscle and fat), which means that even frequent sexual relations can not harm it. It's all about the strength of the muscles of the uterus. They are able to protect the crumb from mechanical stress, and the mucous plug - to protect it from infection. In addition, amniotic fluid plays an important role, which can correct all fluctuations. So, you should not worry.

It turns out that with the normal course of pregnancy , making love is not only not harmful, but also useful, and for the health of the mother is also absolutely safe. The fact is that the sperm tightens the cervix, making it more elastic, which helps the uterus and during childbirth, as it is easier to open at the same time. And what is also important, all the known hormones of joy received during sex, are very useful for the child. Also, when you have sex, blood circulation in the pelvis normalizes, the placenta begins to circulate better, which leads to the child receiving more oxygen and nutrients. Thus, you need and you can have sex during pregnancy.

The next problem is related to the couple's interest in sex during pregnancy. There are different ways: sometimes interest increases, sometimes it fades away. It is noticed that some women during the pregnancy can experience orgasm, and some feel an increase in sensitivity. This is due to overcrowding of the female body with hormones that enhance pleasant sensations of intimacy, but also have the ability to cause irritability. Hence the widespread trend associated with the loss of interest in sex during the first trimester.

Pregnancy and sex: I and III trimester

Let's turn to the advice of doctors, in particular, to the recommendation of abstinence from sex in the first and third trimester of pregnancy. Here an important point: first of all it concerns women with complicated pregnancy, since there is a possibility of a threat of damage to the cervix or early water withdrawal, which leads to premature birth. The first trimester is sometimes accompanied by toxicosis - vomiting, nausea, fatigue, often pain in the chest, a strong taste change, which can also lead to a decrease in sexual desire.

The reasons why you should avoid sexual intercourse during pregnancy:

• There is a serious danger of abortion;
• Multiple pregnancies;
• Bleeding or spotting from the vagina;
• With frequent miscarriages;
• If the amniotic fluid flows;
• Low location of the placenta ;
• Chronic diseases;
• Infectious diseases;
• Premature contractions;
• Insufficiency of the cervix;
• In the presence of discomfort;
• Waste water;
• The birth began.

If there is any ambiguity, consult a doctor.

In general, it is noted that during the second trimester, pregnancy and sex to each other is not a hindrance, sexual appetite increases, but the third again reduces it. Here the reason lies, first, in uncomfortable because of the big belly, and secondly, the chest becomes very painful. You should listen to your body, choose comfortable postures, that is, those where there is no strong pressure on the stomach, and try to continue to enjoy sexual life.

Interestingly, many doctors advise sex at 9 months of pregnancy, at a time when labor has come, but labor for some reason is not read. The fact is that the glandids contained in male sperm, work an excellent softener of the cervix and thus contribute to its disclosure.

There is a belief: if there is a boy, then the sexual activity of a woman increases, and if the girl - on the contrary, falls.
