Beta, in our times elders used to say to be very careful, especially in the first and last three months. Keep your body rested, drink warm milk with kesar, and ask your doctor if it is safe for your health.
We actually avoided it in the first trimester because I had mild cramping, but later it was fine. Just listen to your body and don't push yourself if you are feeling tired or sore, especially because postpartum recovery takes its own sweet time anyway.
I am a bit shy to talk about this, but I've read that if the doctor says everything is fine, then it is safe. We are currently trying to conceive, so I also keep reading about what precautions to take once we get a positive.
My doctor said intercourse is perfectly safe as long as you don't have conditions like placenta previa, short cervix, or any bleeding history. She advised us to use comfortable positions and to stop immediately if there is any discomfort or cramping.
Dekho, if your pregnancy is normal and there are no complications, it is absolutely fine. But if you have any spotting, low-lying placenta, or previous history, then strictly avoid it and ask your doctor first.
In a normal pregnancy, the baby is fully protected by the amniotic sac, so intimacy won't hurt the baby. But please ensure you both are comfortable, avoid deep pressure on the tummy, and check with your gynac once just to be 100% sure.
