Why does bleeding occur during pregnancy?

Everyone knows that it is best not to have sex during pregnancy because it will harm the pregnant woman and the child and is not good for the health of both parties. However, some people also have sex and find that they bleed during pregnancy. Why do they bleed during pregnancy? Does it affect the baby? Let the experts explain it to us below.

If bleeding occurs during intercourse, you should go to the hospital immediately to check whether the child is okay and try to rest in bed. It is not advisable to have sex during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy, but it is allowed during the second trimester of pregnancy. Because having sex during the first three months of pregnancy may cause miscarriage; while having sex in the last three months may lead to premature birth, early rupture of membranes, infection and increased neonatal mortality.

Three key factors you must know about sex during pregnancy:

(1) Sexual positions during pregnancy

(1) Sexual intercourse during pregnancy should be based on the principle of comfort for women and no pressure on the abdomen. Many sexologists believe that the woman-on-top position (front sitting and back sitting) will not put pressure on the abdomen, but will also allow women to independently control the direction and depth of insertion and the movement of the two genitals during intercourse, and can fully control the stimulation of the abdomen and other parts of the body. The relative safety factor is higher than other positions.

The woman-on-top position has many advantages and is the second most frequently used position in sexual activity, second only to the man-on-top position; however, this position is limited by women's physical strength and usually cannot last long. The soft chair, which is furniture to assist women in the top position, solves this problem. The soft chair bears the entire weight of the woman during sexual activities, and she can move freely with just a little effort, allowing women to easily and perfectly perform the top position.

(2) Side-lying position: The man lies on the side of the woman and enters from behind.

(3) Rear side position: The man kneels behind the woman, who kneels with her arms on the ground.

(II) Precautions for sexual intercourse during pregnancy:

1. Maintain good personal hygiene before and after sex during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, both parties are required to take a bath before and after sex to keep their bodies clean.

2. When having sex during pregnancy, remember not to be too strenuous.

During pregnancy, women's sexual organs are in a state of congestion and are easily damaged; therefore, men should be gentle when having sex during pregnancy. During sexual intercourse, if a pregnant woman experiences any abnormal conditions such as abdominal swelling, pain, bleeding, etc., sexual intercourse should be stopped immediately and the woman should rest in bed.

3. Men should use condoms during sex during pregnancy.

The purpose of asking the man to use a condom during sex during pregnancy is not for contraception, but to prevent bacteria and sperm from ascending to the uterus and causing fetal membrane infection.

(III) Taboos of sexual intercourse during pregnancy:

(1) Patients with habitual miscarriage, placenta previa, cervical relaxation suture surgery, or threatened miscarriage or premature birth symptoms need to stay in bed and are prohibited from having sex.

(2) Sexual intercourse is prohibited in cases of gestational hypertension or severe pregnancy complications.

(3) If a woman has an incompletely closed uterus or her uterus contracts too frequently, sexual intercourse may easily cause miscarriage or premature birth, so sexual intercourse is prohibited.

(4) If one of the spouses suffers from a sexually transmitted disease or the woman suffers from genital inflammation, the bacteria can be transmitted to the fetus during intercourse, so intercourse is prohibited.

The above are some suggestions and correct practices from experts on having sex during pregnancy. Following the above practices can help couples overcome difficulties without harming the mother and baby's bodies. For the health of your family, you should pay attention to the details in your life and give your children a perfect and healthy life.
