Can do sex during pregnancy?

Question

Bit of a shy question but here goes. Im 4 months along and both me and hubby are unsure if its safe to be intimate during pregnancy. Dont want to harm the baby. Is it okay or no?

Vibha Singhal · Answer

Yes, it is generally safe throughout pregnancy if your doctor hasn't restricted it. Just listen to your body and stop if you feel any discomfort.

Meena Karunakaran · Answer

Please check with your doctor first before proceeding. I had a low-lying placenta and was put on complete pelvic rest, so sex was strictly forbidden for me. If you experience any spotting or cramping afterwards, contact your gynac immediately.

I am in my 20th week and my husband and I are so confused about this. Our doctor said it's totally safe, but we are still so nervous about hurting the baby. Did anyone else feel this anxious in their second trimester?

Supriya Gokhale · Answer

Haha, in my 3rd trimester, the only thing I want to sleep with is my pregnancy pillow! But yes, physically it's safe unless doctor said no. Good luck finding a comfortable position with a giant beach ball in the middle though!

Ambili Bagchi · Answer

I totally understand the hesitation because we want to protect our little miracle at all costs. But physical intimacy is also a beautiful way to bond with your husband during this special journey. If your doctor has given the green light, go ahead without fear.

Since I had thyroid issues, I was always visiting my doctor for regular checkups. I asked her directly about this, and she said as long as my hormone levels and scans were normal, intimacy was totally fine. Always ask your doctor during your routine visits.

Medically, it is perfectly safe as long as your pregnancy is low-risk. The cervix is sealed with a thick mucus plug to protect the baby from any infection. Just avoid any positions that put pressure on your belly.

Unless your gynac has specifically told you to avoid it due to some complications like low-lying placenta, it is completely safe. The baby is fully protected inside the amniotic sac, so don't worry. Just be gentle and communicative with your partner.

Haan na, starting me toh darr lagta hi hai, but actually it is very safe if there are no complications. Bas thoda comfortable positions try karna and don't stress yourself.

My husband and I avoided it during the first trimester out of personal caution, but we were active during the second trimester and everything was perfectly fine. It really depends on what makes both of you comfortable.
