“Apart from that, in the 1st trimester pregnant women, pregnant women are still nauseous, vomiting, uncomfortable, so they are also physically weaker,” said dr. Shintha through a statement received by suara.com, Tuesday (28/3/2023).
dr. Sintha also emphasized that it is not recommended to have sex for the 3rd trimester under 36 weeks. This is because during coitus the sperm that is released contains a substance called prostaglandin which can cause uterine contractions.
“If contractions occur in pregnant women under 36 weeks, it can result in premature or preterm labor,” he said.

“The need for coitus is psychological because the partner feels safe, comfortable, loved and needed by the husband even though the body is stretched or fatter, not just sexual satisfaction. Coitus is allowed as long as it is safe,” he explained.
