Just found out im expecting, its very early. Me and husband are a little unsure if its safe to be intimate right now or we should wait. Bit awkward to ask doc directly so asking here. anyone knows?
Technically in the first week of pregnancy, you aren't actually pregnant yet as it's counted from your last period. But once you conceive, sex is generally safe throughout pregnancy unless your doctor has advised otherwise due to complications or spotting.
I totally understand why you are asking this, we want to protect our little bundle of joy from day one! It is generally safe, but always listen to your heart. If your maternal instinct says to wait, just have a sweet cuddle instead.
We are also trying to conceive right now, and I had this same shy doubt in my mind. It is comforting to know that we don't have to worry too much in the very beginning. Just being happy and close to your partner is important.
In the early weeks, sex is usually fine unless you have pain or spotting. Looking back now after going through pregnancy and my C-section delivery, I realized how important it is to keep a strong bond with your husband. Just take it very gently.
I was so terrified of having sex in my first trimester, thinking it would hurt the baby! My husband and I completely avoided it out of fear. Did anyone else also feel super anxious about this in the early weeks?
It is so normal to have these doubts and worry about your little miracle. In the early weeks, your baby is tiny and well-protected inside. Just make sure you are comfortable and don't do anything that causes you stress or physical discomfort.
May God bless your journey. Just stay positive, keep your mind calm, and listen to your body's signals. If you feel tired or uncomfortable, it is better to take rest and let nature do its beautiful work.
