Absolutely safe, so don't worry about it. Unless your gynac has advised otherwise due to complications, it won't hamper your pregnancy at all.

Since I had PCOS, I was always extra cautious about everything. It is generally safe, but please check with your doctor if you have any high-risk factors.

No dear, it does not harm the baby at all. The little one is totally safe inside. Just stop if you feel any discomfort or cramps.

Ghar pe elders usually say to avoid any strain or extra activity. But medically it is safe unless your doc has told you to take complete rest.

My gynac said physical intimacy or self-pleasure is fine as long as there is no bleeding or complications. If you have thyroid or other issues, just mention it during your regular doctor follow-up.
