It’s understandable and perfectly normal, that physical needs are worth noting when it comes to the various uncomfortable reactions that pregnancy brings.
For many women, the increased libido of a pregnant woman during this period, due to the effects of sex hormones, coupled with prolonged abstinence, often leads to masturbation.
During pregnancy, especially in the first three months of pregnancy when fetal development is not very stable, most couples will think that intense sexual activity will hurt the fetus, but based on physiological needs, if the hormone increases during pregnancy, it is very beneficial to the growth of the fetus. So a lot of people are thinking can not through a method that does not hurt the fetus and can improve the sense of pleasure of pregnant women, that is, masturbation, can masturbation during pregnancy?
It’s okay to masturbate during pregnancy but watch the timing. In the first three months of pregnancy, fetal organs have not yet developed, it is easier to miscarry. In addition, early and late pregnancy is not suitable for masturbation, lest sexual pleasure leads to uterine contractions, resulting in abortion and premature birth. The best time to masturbate is in the second trimester when the fetus is stable and proper masturbation will not affect the fetus too much.
Precautions For Using A Vibrator During Pregnancy
Attention should be paid to local vaginal cleanliness and ventilation to prevent infection. Clean sex toys before and after each use, away from other debris, and in a designated location to keep them clean.
Double-check that your toys are really safe for humans. Since the sex toy industry is not regulated by the FDA, some fake sellers also claim their products are safe. It is important that you choose sex toys that do not contain phthalates.
What Toys Are Recommended For Pregnancy?
If you choose an inserted toy, such as a G-spot vibrator or dildo, that shouldn’t be a problem (especially since penetrative sex is still safe and encouraged throughout pregnancy), but aiming to hit your cervix can be painful. But in this case, pain doesn’t necessarily equate to endangering the baby. The mucus plug in your cervix keeps your uterus closed, and outside the uterus is the baby, so it’s unlikely to breakthrough. We recommend the best use of low vibration strength toys.
If pregnant women feel abdominal swelling or pain when masturbation, should be temporarily interrupted to rest for a while, swelling sensation disappeared, but also can continue. In addition, pregnant women in supine masturbation may feel uncomfortable due to the drop in blood pressure, at this time also want to temporarily interrupt the rest, and appropriately tilt the body around adjustment, discomfort will slowly disappear.
