Is having sex while pregnant safe?

Well, there must be quite a lot of married couples who concern this. Let's discuss in this article, is it safe or not? 

Having sex during pregnancy can actually be said to be safe but can also be considered unsafe. When a pregnant woman's womb is having issues, having sex is considered unsafe due to the risks identified in her pregnancy, such as the possibility of an early birth, bleeding, or a previous miscarriage. However, it can be said to be safe if the pregnancy is not at risk in the sense that every obstetric examination has good results.

When is it safe to have sex?

• Trimester 1 is actually safe to have sex, but usually a woman's desire to have sex will decrease considerably because women have to adapt to various massive changes that occur due to increases in the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
• In the 2nd trimester it is recommended to have sex around the 16th week of pregnancy, because the body's hormones have begun to stabilize so that the early symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, and weakness begin to subside. Recommended once a week.
• In the 3rd trimester, it is highly recommended by doctors to have intercourse, especially when the time of birth is approaching, so that it helps the process of dilating the vagina which is useful for facilitating labor.
