Bit of an awkward thing to ask but here goes. Im around 6 weeks and honestly too shy to ask my gynac this directly. Is it actually safe in the starting months or can it cause any harm?
It is generally safe and actually helps relieve some pregnancy stress and sleep issues. However, if you feel any sharp pain, heavy cramping, or spot any bleeding, please stop immediately and consult your gynac. Always prioritize how your body feels!
Yes, it's totally safe as long as your pregnancy is low-risk. My doctor explained that the cervix has a thick mucus plug that protects the baby from any external things or infections. Just make sure to stop and call your doc if you ever experience severe cramps or bleeding afterwards.
I felt so guilty and confused about this during my first trimester! But honestly, after talking to my doctor, I realized it is completely normal and safe. The mild cramping you feel after is just normal uterine contraction, so don't beat yourself up about it.
Unless you have specific complications like placenta praevia or active bleeding, it is absolutely safe. My husband is a doctor and he always tells patients that orgasms won't harm the baby. The baby is well-cushioned inside the amniotic sac, so don't worry.
