Several studies have reported women's worry that sexual intercourse may harm the course of pregnancy. This worry might lead to avoidance of sexual intercourse during pregnancy.
To assess if fears about harming the pregnancy are associated with avoidance of sexual intercourse during pregnancy.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 Vietnamese pregnant women in the first or second trimester who visited our hospital for antenatal care. We explored 5 types of fears including miscarriage/preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, bleeding, infection, and injury to the fetus. Fears were measured by modified questions from the Reasons For Not Engaging in Sexual Activity During Pregnancy questionnaire. Using the total fear score, pregnant women were categorized into having low, moderate, and high fear.
Not having sexual intercourse during the past 4 weeks.
72 (28.8%) pregnant women had no sexual intercourse for the past 4 weeks. All types of fear were considered important among pregnant women; the more important fears were infection and injury to the fetus. In multivariable regression analysis, the prevalence of not having sexual intercourse was higher in both women who had moderate (adjusted prevalence ratio = 2.84, 95% CI 1.42-5.67) and high fear (adjusted prevalence ratio = 4.39, 95% CI 2.28-8.44).
Avoidance of sexual intercourse was common among Vietnamese pregnant women and was associated with the fears about harming the pregnancy. This can be a target in the health education programs for pregnancy couples. Thanh C. Phan, Long B. Hoang, Thanh K. Tran, et al.

多项研究报告称，女性担心性交可能会影响怀孕过程。这种担忧可能导致孕期避免性交。
评估对影响怀孕的恐惧是否与孕期避免性交有关。
对250名在我院进行产前检查的越南孕早期或孕中期妇女进行了一项横断面研究。我们探讨了5种恐惧类型，包括流产/早产、胎膜早破、出血、感染和胎儿损伤。通过对《孕期不进行性行为的原因》问卷中的问题进行修改来测量恐惧程度。根据总恐惧得分，将孕妇分为低恐惧、中度恐惧和高恐惧三类。
过去4周内没有性交。
72名（28.8%）孕妇在过去4周内没有性交。所有类型的恐惧在孕妇中都被认为很重要；更重要的恐惧是感染和胎儿损伤。在多变量回归分析中，中度恐惧（调整后的患病率比值=2.84，95%可信区间1.42-5.67）和高恐惧（调整后的患病率比值=4.39，95%可信区间2.28-8.44）的女性中，没有性交的患病率更高。
在越南孕妇中，避免性交很常见，并且与对影响怀孕的恐惧有关。这可以成为针对怀孕夫妇的健康教育项目的一个目标。陈清·潘、龙·黄、陈清·陈等。早期妊娠避免性交的恐惧相关原因：一项横断面研究。性医学2021；9：100430。
