First pregnancy and both me and hubby are confused about this. Im in early weeks and we are scared it might affect the baby. Is it safe or should we avoid for now?
I panicked so much thinking sex would hurt the baby, but my gynac explained that baby is safely cushioned inside the amniotic sac! If you have a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy, it is completely safe and normal.
If you have had a miscarriage before, please be extremely cautious. My doctor strictly advised us against physical intimacy in the first trimester to avoid any risks. Please check with your gynac first.
It's safe in a normal pregnancy, but keep your energy levels in mind. I had gestational diabetes and got tired very easily, so we just kept things very light and gentle.
Honestly, with my constant vomiting and extreme fatigue, sex was the last thing on my mind! If you feel up for it and your doctor has given a green light, go ahead, but keep it gentle.
It is generally safe, but I always suggest asking your gynac first. Every pregnancy is unique, and they will tell you if you have any complications like placenta previa where sex should be avoided.
According to my trackers, sex is totally fine in a healthy pregnancy unless you have bleeding or a low-lying placenta. Just use comfortable positions and listen to your body's signals.
