Im 10 weeks now and was wondering about this. My gynac hasnt mentioned anything yet but i keep reading about it online. Is it usually done at this stage or later? bit confused.
It is absolutely normal and safe if your pregnancy is going smooth without any spot or pain! Just make sure to be gentle and comfortable. If you have any medical history or spotting, definitely skip it and check with your doctor first.
Usually, doctors say intercourse is fine in the first trimester if there are no complications like bleeding or low placenta. But honestly, always ask your gynac first during your regular checkup just to be 100% sure, as every pregnancy is different.
Haha, 10th week me I was too busy throwing up and craving sour mangoes to even think about intimacy! But yes, physically it is safe if you are feeling up to it and your doctor hasn't put any restrictions on you.
I am planning a pregnancy right now and have been researching this too! Apparently, the baby is well protected in the amniotic sac, so mild intimacy is safe unless a doctor advises against it. Still, I guess it depends on how comfortable you feel.
I was extremely anxious about this during my 10th week and actually avoided it completely because I was too scared of hurting the baby. Did anyone else also feel this level of anxiety in early weeks? My doctor eventually said it was safe, but we preferred to wait.
