We just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks, and both me and my husband are kind of scared to be intimate now. I dont want to do anything that could harm the baby this early. Is it actually safe or should we wait?
In a normal healthy pregnancy, no, it doesnt cause miscarriage, the baby is well protected. We were normal in both my pregnancies after the doctor said it was fine. If you have bleeding or any risk, then your gynac will tell you to hold off.
For most it is safe, but in my case I had a low lying placenta so my doctor asked us to avoid it for a while. So it really depends on your situation. Please just check with your own gynac, especially if there is any spotting.
I was so scared about this too after IVF. Our doctor was clear that in a stable pregnancy it doesnt cause miscarriage, but she did advise caution in the early weeks for us. Speak to your doctor about what is right for you, every journey is different.
Generally it is considered safe in a low risk pregnancy and miscarriage is not caused by it. But if there is bleeding, pain or a history, doctors do advise care. The honest answer is, ask your gynac about your specific case.
I was also too shy to ask anyone this, glad you did. From what I read and what the doc told my sister, it is generally fine if pregnancy is healthy. But better to ask your gynac directly na, she wont mind at all.
