1st Trimester Pregnancy and Sex

Many women totally discourage the idea of having sex once they get pregnant. This is because of the hormonal changes which bring about a host of issues such as morning sickness, tender breasts, fatigue and the constant need to go to the bathroom. Like all other responsible mothers, you may feel that having intercourse would harm your baby. But if you want, you can have sex to your heart s content without any worries.

You can always rest assured that intercourse during the 1st Trimester cannot cause any difficulties for the baby. This is because your baby is housed in the amniotic fluid that protects it well. The cervix remains closed and also have a mucus plug making it inaccessible. Moreover, your partner can never penetrate so deep as to reach the baby. Sex can trigger contractions in the uterus, but they are different from labour and thus there are no worries.

It is safe to make love in the 1st trimester yet most women face some changes in their physical relationships. But for most women, sex feels more pleasurable than before due to the rise in the blood flow in the pelvic region. It also causes an engorgement in the female genitals which in turn takes you to the peak of sensation. If you feel sex to be uncomfortable, you should consult with your gynecologist on this matter rather than ignoring it.

After you come to know that you are pregnant, you will gradually feel the changes looming which pertains to both your emotional and physical health. It is natural to feel that your indulgences may cause discomfort to the baby and harm its natural development. You should share your concerns with your partner and consider his take as well. Your spouse is also concerned about you, and you both should stand by each other during the most vital part of your married life when you both are going to create life.
