Can a person do sex during eight months of pregnancy?
My husband and I are wondering about intimacy during the later stages of pregnancy. Is it generally safe to have sex even when I'm in my eighth month of pregnancy?
Don't stress too much about it, dear! If your doctor hasn't put any restrictions, you can absolutely go ahead, just be gentle and use comfortable positions.
My doctor told us that sex in the 8th month is completely safe as long as the pregnancy is low-risk and there's no placenta previa or leaking fluid. But definitely check with your gynac first during your regular scan visit.
Personally, we avoided it during the last two months because my body was just too tired and aching. It's totally up to what you and your body are comfortable with.
By the eighth month, I was experiencing a lot of pelvic pressure, so we decided to avoid it. Just listen to your body and don't force yourself if you are feeling uncomfortable.
Elders at home usually advise against it in late pregnancy. But my doctor said it is perfectly fine if there are no complications, so we trusted our doctor's advice.
You can, but make sure there is no pressure on your stomach. If you ever feel any leaking fluid, spotting or strong cramping after it, contact your doctor immediately.
I am only in my second trimester and already a bit scared about this! Is it really safe to do it so late in the eighth month, or does it cause labor pain?
