We just found out I'm pregnant with our first baby and we're so happy. My husband and I are wondering if it's okay to have intercourse during the first trimester. Is it generally considered safe, or should we be extra careful?
It's usually safe, but check with your doctor first to make sure there are no risks. It's better to get a green light during your regular scans so you don't end up with unexpected medical bills or complications.
It is safe for most women, but if you have underlying issues like thyroid or hormonal imbalances, it's good to keep your doctor updated. Just ask them during your routine follow-up visits.
Yes, it is generally safe throughout a healthy pregnancy. However, because it's your first, it's always best to have a quick chat with your gynecologist to confirm you have no risk factors.
I panicked so much about this and thought it would hurt the baby! But my doctor laughed and said the baby is well protected. Unless your doctor advised against it, it is totally normal and safe.
My doctor at the hospital explicitly told us that intimacy is completely safe unless there is spotting or a low-lying placenta. I highly suggest clarifying this with your hospital staff at your next scan.
