What effect does sexual life in the first trimester have on the fetus?

Sexual life in early pregnancy may have a potential impact on the fetus by causing contractions, increasing the probability of infection, causing the risk of abortion and affecting the development environment. Therefore, sexual life in early pregnancy should be treated with caution to ensure the safety of mother and baby.

1. Risk of slight contraction: Sexual life in early pregnancy may cause slight contraction of uterus. Although this contraction is usually weak, for some sensitive pregnant women, you may feel a slight tightness or heaving in the lower abdomen. This slight contraction generally does not directly affect the fetus, but frequent occurrence may increase the risk of adverse consequences.

2, increase infection: sexual life may bring external bacteria into the vagina, increase the chance of reproductive tract infection, if infected pathogens may infect the uterus, affect the growth environment of the fetus, cause vaginitis, cervicitis, etc., in severe cases may lead to complications such as premature rupture of membranes, threatening the safety of the fetus.

3. Causing abortion: Intense sexual life may lead to increased uterine contraction, which may increase the risk of abortion in the case of unstable embryo implantation in the first trimester, especially for pregnant women with habitual abortion history or other high-risk factors of pregnancy, which may lead to signs of abortion such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain.

4. Affect the development environment of the fetus: Frequent sexual life and related physical stress reactions may affect the balance of endocrine and immune system of pregnant women, may indirectly interfere with the normal development environment of the fetus, and affect the nutritional supply and oxygen delivery of the fetus. Being in this bad state for a long time may have potential adverse effects on the growth and development of the fetus.

Avoid sexual life as much as possible in the early pregnancy. If necessary, keep your movements gentle, pay attention to sexual hygiene, clean your vulva before and after, and see a doctor immediately if you have any discomfort, and follow the doctor's guidance and advice during pregnancy.
