Can pregnant women masturbate?

At women during pregnancy the hormonal background changes, and with it or this the increase libido is connected. Most husbands worry about thoughts of sex with a pregnant wife, as they are afraid to harm their future child. But pregnancy is not a disease and in this interesting period a woman should continue to live a full life. So, in our article, we will consider whether pregnant masturbating can be done, and whether there are contraindications for masturbation during pregnancy.

Is it possible to masturbate during pregnancy?

Masturbation, like ordinary sex during pregnancy, is not prohibited if the woman has no contraindications. Pregnancy and the husband (man) are not always compatible or it happens that he simply does not want, can not or is afraid of performing conjugal duties, then she has to give herself pleasure, receiving a discharge. During pregnancy, you can masturbate if there is no threat of interruption, abdominal pain and bloody discharge. Masturbation, like sex with a man, improves mood, improves the emotional background, promotes the production of endorphins in the brain (a part of the endorphins is received by the child). A woman is better than a man who knows her body and areas of heightened sensitivity, so she can enjoy herself no worse than him.

During masturbation and orgasm, blood circulation in the pelvic organs improves, in turn, the uteroplacental blood flow improves, which has a beneficial effect on the baby (oxygen and nutrient delivery to the fetus increases).

Long-term abstinence from sex adversely affects the emotional background of a woman, worsens sleep and mood, which leads to the accumulation of negative energy in the body of the woman, and can also lead to an increase in the tone of the uterus (there are pulling pains in the lower abdomen). This energy needs a way out, and one way to get rid of it is masturbation. You can use masturbation in the form of a love game (prelude) before intimacy with your beloved man, which can greatly diversify the intimate life.

Does masturbation affect pregnancy?

And now we will consider, whether masturbation at pregnancy is harmful and whether there are contraindications? In early pregnancy, a woman may be bothered by abdominal pain and spotting, which may be a symptom of the threat of termination of pregnancy. In such cases, masturbation, like a normal sexual intercourse, can provoke spontaneous abortion.

Masturbation in later periods is also not contraindicated in the normal course of pregnancy. If, after masturbation or intercourse, the uterus becomes stone and causes the woman pain, then it should be abstained. Masturbation of pregnant women with an excessively increased tone of the uterus can lead to premature birth or early discharge of amniotic fluid. The fact is that the clitoral orgasm is stronger than the vaginal, so it can cause a fairly strong contraction of the uterus.

During masturbation, it is not recommended to use foreign objects to avoid injury external genitalia. If a pregnant woman is masturbating, then she should not forget about personal hygiene.

We saw that masturbating to pregnant women is not prohibited, if there are no contraindications to this. However, do not get involved in masturbation and have sex with your partner. Instead of giving yourself pleasure, talk with your man, explain to him that you should not be afraid of sex during pregnancy. Perhaps, if you explain to your husband that you enjoy, there will be no need to masturbate during pregnancy .
