My husband and I are wondering if it's safe to have intercourse during the seventh month of pregnancy. We want to be careful, so I wanted to ask other experienced mothers. Is it okay or should we avoid it?
I am still trying to conceive, but from what I've read, intimacy is usually safe in the third trimester if your pregnancy is normal. Of course, it is a bit delicate, so definitely check with your gynac first to feel comfortable.
Actually yaar, it's totally safe unless your gynac has told you to avoid it due to some complications. Just don't put any pressure on the tummy. If there's any discomfort or spotting, just stop immediately and call the doctor.
It is completely natural to want to stay connected with your partner during this time! Just make sure your doctor has cleared you, as some high-risk pregnancies need pelvic rest in the 3rd trimester. Listen to your body and go very gently.
Beta, generally it is fine if you don't have any pain or complications, but you must be very gentle. In the 7th month, the belly is quite big, so resting well and avoiding too much physical strain is important. Ask your doctor once during your regular visit to be absolutely safe.
I'm in my 7th month now too and was wondering the same thing! My doctor said it's fine as long as there's no placenta previa or cervical issues. Are any of you using specific comfortable positions to avoid pressure on the belly?
Honestly, in my 7th month, I was just too tired and bloated to even think about it! But medically, my doc said it is totally safe as long as you use comfortable positions and there is no bleeding or pain. Just listen to your body and do what feels right!
