Some women fear sexual intercourse during pregnancy. Some feel sexual desire decline because their bodies are doing a lot of adjustment to new life forms growing in their womb. While at the same time, the passion that arose was increased. This is not a sexual disorder. Indeed there was a time when women experience increased sexual arousal.
First trimester: Interest declining On trimester (3 months) first, usually decreased sex drive. Never wanted to, getting out of bed alone was scourged morning sickness, vomiting, weakness, laziness, all things contrary to the spirit and the libido. Fluctuating hormones, fatigue, and nausea can suck all the desire to have sex.
Second trimester: Interest is increasing (re-) entering the second trimester, usually libido arise again. The body has to accept and get used to the conditions of pregnancy, so pregnant women can enjoy the activities more freely than in the first trimester. Pregnancy is also not too big and burdensome as in the third trimester. Nausea, vomiting, and any discomfort usually is much reduced and the body feels more comfortable. Similarly, for matters of the bed. This is due to increased drainage of blood to the sexual organs and breasts.
Third trimester: Interest Libido decreased again to fall back when the third trimester of pregnancy. Sense of comfort has been much reduced. Stiffness in his back and hips, body weight increased rapidly, more shortness of breath (due to the large fetal chest and stomach urgent), and again felt nauseous, that some causes of decreased sexual interest. But if you're including that do not experience decreased libido in the third trimester, it is a normal thing, especially if you include that enjoy the pregnancy. You also are lucky because they do not need to be tormented by the swollen feet, headaches, or necessity rested.
In addition to physical things, the decline in libido is also associated with increased anxiety and fears before labor. The most common question is "whether sexual intercourse may harm the fetus?". Medically there is no need to worry if something is not accompanied by factors of complications of pregnancy, meaning that conditions are in good health. Which includes factors of complications is a threat of miscarriage, hypertension, excessive vomiting, or certain other health conditions. The things that concern may arise because of having sex on pregnancy:
Miscarriage
Many couples worry that sex during pregnancy can cause miscarriage. But the real problem is not the sexual activity itself. Miscarriage (early miscarriage) usually associated with chromosomal abnormalities or other problems experienced by the developing fetus. Not on what you do or not do. Harm the fetus will not reach sexual contact or interfere with the fetus that is protected by membranes and amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is a very good shock absorber so that movement of uterine contractions during intercourse or during orgasm will muffled and does not interfere with the fetus. Ejaculation that occurs also will not make sperm to reach the fetus because there are membranes that protect. Your partner's penis will not touch the fetus. But if comfort is the problem, of course you should discuss with your partner about the position of choice.
Orgasm
Orgasm triggers premature birth because orgasm can trigger uterine contractions. But the contraction is different from the contraction that is felt before childbirth. Research indicates that if you are undergoing a normal pregnancy, orgasm, with or without sexual intercourse (which means the men do not need to penetrate penis, simply 'other') - does not trigger premature delivery. Worry only if you have pre-menstrual syndrome , most likely you will experience a more severe mood swings during pregnancy. This does not just affect the sexual desire, but also fears that tend to excessively on impact.
Consider some of these things! If you choose oral sex, make sure the partner does not blow air into the vagina. Although rare, but the entry of air into the blood vessel (embolism) can be fatal for you and the fetus. So should be avoided wherever possible. Avoid lying on your back during sex. If the uterus (and fetal), pressing the main blood vessels in the back of the abdomen, you may feel dizzy (lightheaded) or nausea. But if you do not have problems with this position, do it. If you do not feel like having sex, tell me what is on your partner.
Anxious, uncomfortable, not interested at all (no desire), or not possible (to avoid) are some common reasons. Exposure to sexually transmitted diseases during pregnancy increases the risk of infection that can affect pregnancy and fetal health. If you change your sexual partner during pregnancy, use condoms when having sex. Associated with sexually transmitted diseases: Safe sex is no sex. Security 100% is when not having sex. This does not mean that the husband and wife should not have sex. But if you include the frequently changing sexual partners, mark it well.
Should not have sex if:
Placenta previa
It is a condition in which the placenta (partial or total) were in the bottom of the uterus, covering the mouth / road out of the uterus. The placenta is normally located at the top of the uterus. If penetration of cervical pressing, it is feared will happen bleeding. Pregnant women premature birth premature birth can be suspected if started having regular contractions before 37 weeks gestation that cause the cervix begin to open.
Orgasm feared to trigger contraction. In addition, exposure to the hormone prostaglandin in the semen (sperm fluid) can also trigger contractions, which although not harmful to normal pregnancy, should watch out if you have a risk of giving birth (fetus), premature. If you still choose to have sex, remove sperm outside the vagina. Bleeding (spots / vaginal bleeding), bleeding can be associated with signs of miscarriage. Should sex be avoided if there is a case of bleeding. Unless your doctor stating that the spots you are experiencing is a normal phenomenon that sometimes happens, depending on gestational age, fetal condition, volume and form plaques, and the condition of your own.
The mouth of the womb (cervix) is weak
If your cervix opened prematurely, sex can increase the risk of infection. If you are carrying multiple fetuses fetuses, healthcare providers may recommend avoiding intercourse during third trimester of pregnancy, although up to now have not found any relationship between sex with the birth of premature twins.
There is no set strict limits on how often sexual intercourse can be performed during pregnancy. Throughout your pregnancy condition fine, no matter how often. However, you should take into account the impact that is not too tired. After delivery, when to start having sex again? Your body needs time to recover to normal state as before the pregnancy, either with a vaginal delivery or cesarean section.
Many doctors recommend waiting at least 6 weeks prior to start having sex or completed during childbirth. This period gives time for your cervix to close and go back for stitches / wound to heal. When you feel ready to return to have sex, start slowly. Use a reliable method as a contraceptive. Exclusive breast feeding (recommended for 6 months) will give you optimal protection. Although 6 weeks has passed, if your body was not ready, do not push yourself. Your spouse is the person who most deserves to understand and empathize with the condition you are experiencing.
