Can one have sex with pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I are wondering if it's safe to continue having sexual intercourse during my pregnancy. Are there any risks or precautions we should be aware of while being intimate?

Sita Pillai · Answer

I am in my 2nd trimester and my doctor said it's totally safe, but honestly, I still feel a bit anxious. Did any of you experience any mild cramps afterwards?

Lalita Bajaj · Answer

Please check with your gynac before making any decision. If there is placenta previa or any history of bleeding, doctors strictly advise against it.

Radha Chopra · Answer

Yes, you can, but only if your pregnancy is going smoothly without complications. Just be very gentle and stop immediately if you feel any pain or discomfort, okay?

Zankhna Kamath · Answer

I was so terrified that it would hurt the baby, so we barely did it. But my doctor assured me the baby is fully protected in the amniotic sac, so please don't over-worry.

I am currently in my 6th month and we still do it sometimes. Just make sure the positions are comfortable and don't put pressure on your tummy. Are you guys also feeling a bit hesitant?

Archana Panda · Answer

Unless your gynac has strictly put you on pelvic rest, it is usually safe! Just make sure you aren't doing it on an empty stomach because pregnancy nausea can ruin the mood fast.

Since I had a history of PCOS and early spotting, my doctor advised us to completely avoid it in the first trimester. If your pregnancy is normal, it might be fine, but be careful.

My husband and I avoided it in the first and third trimesters just to be safe, but had no issues in the second trimester. It depends entirely on how your body feels.
