I'm in my second trimester, and sometimes I just don't feel like being intimate due to tiredness or other discomforts. Is it okay to avoid sex during pregnancy if I'm not feeling up to it, or is there any harm in doing so?
Oh absolutely, who even has the energy when you feel like a sleep-deprived zombie? I honestly preferred sleeping over everything else during those nine months!
When you are constantly throwing up and feeling weak, sex is the last thing on your mind. It is totally fine to say no, just explain it to your husband and take rest.
Yes, you can absolutely avoid it if your body is tired. I felt very sensitive during my pregnancy and we decided to wait, which was the best decision for us.
Focus on your inner peace and baby's growth during this sacred phase. If your mind is not ready, there is no need to push yourself, just stay happy and positive.
We completely avoided it because our IVF journey was very delicate and we wanted to be 100% safe. Do whatever makes you feel emotionally and physically comfortable, your peace of mind is most important.
Please ask your gynac first because if there is any low-lying placenta or bleeding risk, they strictly advise against it. Safety of the baby comes first, so doctor's advice is a must.
I just had my baby and honestly, we barely did anything during the entire nine months because of my constant fatigue. It's very normal to skip it if you don't feel like it.
