When a woman becomes pregnant, there are several conditions that develop. Some have known causes but for others the causes are unknown. What could be described are things that if you do or do not do you increase the chances of developing such conditions. One of such conditions is PRE-ECLAMPSIA.
Pre-eclampsia is a condition marked by increased high blood pressure in women who before had not developed blood pressure. This usually goes with an increase in the amount of protein that can be found in the urine of pregnant women. These are all monitored by checking the blood pressure and the use of urine dipstick to check the concentration of protein in the urine of pregnant women.
Pre-eclampsia is found in about 4.6% of pregnant women which could be lower or higher in a certain population. The condition usually starts after 20 weeks into pregnancy. Developing the condition could be life-threatening and dangerous to the mother and the unborn baby.
In my reading around, I have seen that one of the risk factors of developing pre-eclampsia is “Limited Sperm Exposure”. In their review, “the risk of preeclampsia is increased among women who have limited exposure to their partner’s sperm”. In fact, it is clear from the review that it should be the paternal sperm and not just any sperm from any man. Some of the protection linked to the exposure to partner’s sperms are associated with some protective cells that are induced in the woman. These are called “paternal antigen-specific T-regulatory cells”. So be aware that your pregnancy should not be “watered” by any man’s sperm.
This review supports the natural way of giving birth and the evidence from the reviews was clear that women who had natural insemination leading to pregnancy have a lower risk of developing the condition compared to artificial insemination by in vitro fertilization.
Though not mentioned in the review, I can be sure that men are the only source of sperms and they are the only ones to do the “watering” of the pregnancies of their partners. Getting sperms from a sperm bank might not work since you need one from the paternal partner.
Pregnant women if possible should get their men busy with sex, especially during pregnancy to reduce the risk of developing pre-eclampsia. Please don’t ask me how often or the frequency because I do not know. I may hazard a guess by saying “as much as you can”.
