Can sex be done during pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I are confused about intimacy during pregnancy. Is it safe to have sex while pregnant, or should we be avoiding it? We want to be sure we are doing things correctly.

It is safe in a normal pregnancy, but please check with your doctor first if you have any complications or previous issues.

My doctor said it's perfectly fine as long as my health parameters are stable. Just avoid if you have any active pain or spotting.

Yes, absolutely safe if your doctor hasn't put any restrictions! Just make sure to find comfortable positions. 😉

For IVF pregnancies, doctors usually ask us to avoid it in the early weeks. It is always best to check with your specific consultant.

Bharati Lahiri · Answer

Actually yaar, it is completely safe unless you have complications like low-lying placenta. Better to just ask your gynac once to be tension-free.

It is totally fine as the baby is well protected inside the amniotic sac. Just verify with your doctor during your routine ultrasound scans.

I am planning my pregnancy and was wondering the same thing. I hear it is totally safe unless the doctor has advised against it.

Actually, my husband is too scared that it will hurt the baby, so we avoided it. Did anyone else face this hesitation from their partner?
