Question
I experienced a small amount of dark-colored spotting on the 63rd day of my pregnancy. The baby’s health was confirmed through an ultrasound, and I have been taking progesterone for 5 days. Currently at 16 weeks, I would like to know if it is safe to engage in sexual activity under these circumstances.
Answer
Sexual intercourse during pregnancy should be approached with caution to avoid the risk of miscarriage. In the second trimester, sexual activity should be moderate, and attention should be paid to adjusting sexual positions and postures to reduce pressure and impact on the uterus. The husband should understand and protect his wife and the fetus, exercising self-control rationally to ensure his wife’s safety throughout the pregnancy and childbirth process.
