Can I have sex at 26 weeks of pregnancy?

We all know that you cannot have sex in the early stages of pregnancy because the fetus is unstable at this time and it is easy for sex to cause discomfort to the pregnant mother or even miscarriage. After entering the second trimester of pregnancy, you also need to look at the mother's physical condition before deciding whether you can have sex. Is it possible to have sex during the 26th week of pregnancy?

Medical evidence shows that if your body is healthy during pregnancy, you can have sex during pregnancy. However, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, but sexual intercourse is allowed during the second trimester of pregnancy (4th to 7th month). Because in the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is still unstable and estrogen secretion is insufficient, there is a risk of miscarriage during intercourse at this time, and pregnant women generally do not have much sexual desire due to the influence of early pregnancy. In the last three months of pregnancy, the fetus begins to descend, and the pregnant woman's hands and feet become severely swollen, making it difficult to walk. Having sex at this time can easily cause uterine contractions and lead to premature birth.

If you have been treated for premature birth, or if you have other problems during pregnancy, such as cervical enlargement or dilation, amniotic fluid discharge, placenta previa, vaginal bleeding, or a history of miscarriage, be sure to ask your doctor if you can have sex during pregnancy. In some cases, you may need to avoid having sex during pregnancy. After the seventh month of pregnancy, the fetus grows rapidly, the uterus enlarges significantly, and is very sensitive to any external stimulation. In China, couples in late pregnancy are encouraged to terminate sexual intercourse as much as possible to prevent accidents.

In short, for safety reasons, we recommend that expectant fathers and mothers in the late stages of pregnancy should try to avoid having sex, but it is not completely prohibited, as long as they do not put pressure on the abdomen and the amplitude is not too large.
