I'm newly pregnant and have heard different things about intimacy during this time. Is it safe to have sex during the first 40 days of pregnancy? Or should we wait?
I remember feeling so confused and guilty about this during my early pregnancy. It is completely safe as long as your pregnancy is uncomplicated. Just make sure both of you are comfortable and discuss it openly with your gynac.
Honestly, in my first 40 days, I was too busy throwing up and sleeping to even think about it! But medically it is fine unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Just listen to your body and don't force yourself.
Well, the baby is safely packed inside, so they won't know! But seriously, as long as your doc hasn't put you on bedrest, you are good to go. Just go easy and stop if it feels uncomfortable.
Dear, physically it is safe, but since the first trimester is very delicate, many couples choose to avoid it for peace of mind. If you have any history of complications, please ask your doctor before proceeding. Take care of yourself.
I totally understand the hesitation because we want to protect our little bundle of joy at all costs. It is generally safe, but please do what makes your heart feel comfortable. If you feel any anxiety, checking with your doctor will give you peace.
Yes, you can usually have sex in the early weeks unless you have spotting or a high-risk pregnancy. My doctor explained that the baby is protected by the amniotic sac and cervix. But it is always best to double-check with your gynac at your first scan.
