Can masturbation be problematic during pregnancy?

Question

I have a question, a bit personal, but I'm worried. Is masturbation safe or can it cause any issues during pregnancy?

Mrinal Mohanty · Answer

It is generally safe unless your doctor has advised bed rest. But since I had thyroid issues, I always double-checked with my doctor during regular visits just to feel safe.

Dipti Sanyal · Answer

No, it's not problematic at all, dear. The baby is safely cushioned inside the uterus, so don't feel guilty or worried about it.

Safe hota hai, worry mat karo. Bas agar starting me koi bleeding ya complications hain, toh doc se poocho, ho na.

Unless your doctor told you to avoid orgasms due to complications, it is totally safe and a free way to reduce stress! Just mention it to your gynac during your routine checkups.

I had the same doubt in my first trimester! My doctor said it's safe unless there's bleeding, but does anyone else get mild cramping after it?
