Can we have intercourse during 5th month of pregnancy?

Question

Im in my 5th month and things are going smooth so far. Both of us are bit unsure and dont want to do anything that affects baby. Is it safe at this stage?

Jyoti Raju · Answer

Yes, 2nd trimester is usually the safest time for intimacy since the baby is well protected. Just go slow and be comfortable.

Rekha Sanghvi · Answer

I am in my 5th month too and we are so confused about this. My doc said it's safe if there's no pain, but honestly, I still feel a bit anxious. Anyone else felt scared to try?

Gomti Govindasamy · Answer

Yes, it is generally safe in the second trimester. Just ask your doctor once to be completely safe.

Indu Tiwari · Answer

My doctor explained that during the second trimester, the baby is securely cushioned by amniotic fluid and the cervix is sealed. Unless you have a history of preterm labor, bleeding, or low-lying placenta, it is completely safe.

Leena Mehra · Answer

Medically it is fine if your doctor hasn't put you on bed rest. But listen to your body, if you feel tired or uncomfortable, it's better to rest. Communication with your husband is key.

Vasanta Mahajan · Answer

If there are no complications like low lying placenta, it is perfectly safe in the 5th month.

Pooja Pandey · Answer

Haan safe hai, bas use a comfortable position and don't put pressure on the stomach. If you have any doubt, just ask your gynac in the next routine checkup, sharam mat karo.
