Myths Vs Facts: After how many months should husband and wife not have sex during pregnancy?
While answering this question, Dr. Archana Nirula, a renowned doctor from South Delhi, says that having sex during pregnancy is considered dangerous because it increases the risk of miscarriage. But in medical terms, it is called Spontaneous Abortion.
The risk of miscarriage increases a lot in the initial days of pregnancy. There can be many reasons for miscarriage. The doctor further says that if the pregnancy is healthy then you can have sex for the first three months. During this time you can also do exercise and yoga so that miscarriage does not happen.
On the other hand, having sex in the second trimester of pregnancy can be very dangerous. Therefore, the husband and wife should avoid having sex as it can prove dangerous for both the child and the mother. Doctors clearly deny that having sex in the fourth month can prove dangerous for the child. If a woman has repeated miscarriages, then the woman should take rest. Climbing stairs, lifting heavy items or traveling should be avoided.
