Pregnancy in quarantine

There are women who heal quickly after childbirth and decide to try having sex and see that it does not hurt much or perhaps not as much as they thought. They start with sexual intercourse and seeing that the points do not suffer and that they do not feel danger decide to continue their usual sex life during quarantine.

A lot of women they mistakenly think that during quarantine you do not ovulate Because after the spotting and until the period comes down again (especially when breastfeeding) several months may pass, but the reality is that you do ovulate. Women who have sex during their quarantine can get pregnant, but is this healthy? Does it endanger the health of the mother who has just had a baby and has yet to recover?

Forty is the time that must be respected for that the woman return to her normal state both psychically and physically. It is not at all advisable for a woman to have sexual intercourse until after 40 days after delivery, much less is it advisable to get pregnant, something that can be very likely.

During quarantine women's organs are still returning to their original position And also, if you have sex you can cause a tear, something that will bring you bigger problems if you don't avoid it or take concerns. If you want to be a mother again, I advise you to at least wait until you are recovered and if you want to enjoy sex you can do it without penetration and if you feel good to have it, do it with a condom. But what is true about ovulation during quarantine?

Quarantine or puerperium

Quarantine is also known as the puerperium, which is the period between which the placenta is delivered just after delivery until after 40 days. At this time the uterus returns to its normal state, the organs return to their place and little by little women return to their normal weight (unless they have gained a lot during pregnancy, in this case it takes a little longer to return pre-pregnancy weight).

Ovulation in quarantine

There are people that they think that during quarantine it is not possible to ovulate and less if the baby is breastfeeding, but the reality is that ovulation is very likely to occur so pregnancy is also possible. Breastfeeding is not a natural contraceptive method and for this reason you can get pregnant perfectly.
It is true that ovulation can be diminished during quarantine by the secretion of a hormone that intervenes in lactation: prolactin. When stimulating the milk for the baby, the sensitivity to stimulate the ovary is blocked, but in many women the same can happen.

There are women who do not have their periods until the end of breastfeeding and others who, on the other hand, have their period lowered shortly after the end of quarantine.

Quarantine pregnancy?

As I have told you above, yes there are chances of achieving a pregnancy in the quarantine.

Ovulation in women can occur after the first month of delivery (with or without breastfeeding). But the average is usually between two and two and a half months. It is also true that you can have your period during the first periods after childbirth but without having ovulated, so you could not get pregnant, but there is no way to know. If you do not want to suffer a pregnancy in the quarantine, take into account everything we have told you.

If exclusive breastfeeding is given, is there less ovulation?

If you supplement your baby's feeding with formula milk, it is likely that you will ovulate earlier than if your baby's feeding is exclusively breastfeeding. Women who breastfeed their baby only will be less likely to have a period during the first six months than those who supplement with formula milk or who exclusively feed the baby with formula milk.

Is it healthy to have sex and get pregnant during quarantine?

During quarantine it is not at all advisable to have sex if you still have painful or unhealed stitches because you could tear yourself. Likewise, getting pregnant can be detrimental to your health if you have had a cesarean section, in the event that your body does not present any problems. a good pregnancy could be carried to term.

Many women who are sexually active at this time, due to early healing, get pregnant because they do not take precautions.

But anyway, you have to keep in mind that many times sexual relations are not a good option because of the emotional changes that you are experiencing with raising your baby and until you feel emotionally stable it is better to avoid sexual relations. This is so, because in addition to being able to feel bad emotionally, if you add pain to your relationships or a possible tear, you would only feel worse.

It is important to resume sexual activity when both the father and the mother feel ready to carry them out, as long as the woman has stopped the postpartum blood loss.

If before the end of the quarantine you do not feel discomfort or vaginal dryness and you have the episiotomy or the tear fully recovered, then you may feel comfortable to start your sexual relations, but to make you feel safer and with more pleasure I advise you that use a lubricating cream for better penetration.

Have you had any sexual experiences during quarantine? Was it pleasant or was it painful? Have you gotten pregnant in quarantine? How was the experience? Was it a normal pregnancy or did you have to have some kind of special follow-up? Your experiences as a woman and a mother are of interest to all of us, because with the experiences of both we can see that what we feel right now, the fears of possible pregnancy or the prohibition of sexual relations is something that many of us have known. Can you tell us about your experiences? We will love to share these experiences!
