In general, sex does have a positive impact on our bodies both physically and mentally. But you should know is that sex during pregnancy also has a very good benefit especially when done during pregnancy before birth.
Based on research, it is known that having sex during pregnancy, especially in the final months such as the eighth and ninth months can help pave the way for the baby, so as to facilitate the process of childbirth.
That's why expectant mothers are expected to consider coitus during pregnancy before birth, because the benefits are very large for the birth process. When a woman is pregnant, having sex is a bit of a hassle especially if done with a missionary position.
But considering the benefits for childbirth, many women are then interested to try it. Not without reason why many women have sex during pregnancy old who can help the delivery process for faster.
This is because when having intercourse a person's body will release many hormones. Hormones such as endorphin, oxytocin, and DHEA are released through the pituitary section.
Well, the hormone oxytocin itself is a useful hormone that encourages the deployment of muscle fibers that are widely used when contractions occur. Then what about other hormones? What you need to know, hormones such as endorphins are one type of hormone that is useful to make the body more relaxed so that your mind can remain calm and not tense even though the process of childbirth is getting closer.
While the hormone DHEA itself is a hormone that is very useful to strengthen bones and muscles. This is because when faced with labor, you must have strong bones and muscles.
An 8-month pregnancy can be your starting point to improve your intimate relationship with your husband. If you feel afraid to do so, reduce the activity of sex during pregnancy before birth or entering the 9th month. But keep in mind is not to stop completely because the relationship made in the previous months certainly will not bring benefits to you.
By the time the labor begins, the hormones present in your body begin to unbalance, especially hormones like progesterone and estrogen. This is what causes the hormone oxytocin released by many bodies, then cause contractions in the form of Braxton Hicks which became a force at the time of delivery.
This contraction can be said to feel like a contraction that often people feel at the time of sex. The reason is because the hormone is released exactly the same as hormones released during labor. So quoted from various sources.
