Answer
Hello,
To the question “Does sex at 3 weeks pregnant affect the fetus? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Pregnant women can still have normal sexual activities during pregnancy. Proper sex during pregnancy will not affect both mother and baby. If you have a normal, healthy pregnancy, having sex will not affect the fetus.
Here are some cases where doctors recommend abstaining from sex during pregnancy :
Ever had a miscarriage in the first 3 months, premature birth Cervical cleft Pregnant with 2 or more babies Have symptoms of pre-eclampsia such as edema, high blood pressure Short cervix, rupture of membranes, pregnant women or their partners have sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, Herpes,... Doctors diagnose low placenta or Placenta previa There are abnormal signs such as vaginal bleeding, intermittent abdominal pain,... Because the pregnant woman's body size changes a lot, especially in the last months of pregnancy, the application of advice The right relationship position will help reduce difficulties in sexual activities. Possible positions such as:
Spoon position: Pregnant woman lies on her side, the man is behind and the penis penetrates from the back. Therefore, the pregnant woman's abdomen is not affected. Woman on top: This position is relatively suitable in all stages of pregnancy. In this position, the pregnant woman can actively control the movement and depth of the penis to enter the vagina.
