Can we have intercourse during 6th month of pregnancy?

Question

Im in my 6th month now and everything has been normal so far. Thoda awkward to ask but both of us are unsure if it is safe at this stage. Pls share if anyone has asked their gynac about this.

I totally understand the confusion and hesitation, even I was so scared in my 6th month. It is actually totally fine if your doctor hasn't put any restrictions. Just take it slow and be gentle, your baby is completely safe inside.

Please be very careful. After my past miscarriage, my husband and I decided to strictly avoid it throughout the pregnancy just for our peace of mind. If you do decide, please ask your doctor first to make sure there is no low-lying placenta.

Yes dear, 6th month is usually the safest time because the first trimester risks are gone and the belly isn't too huge yet. Just make sure there is no pain or spotting, and avoid putting direct pressure on your stomach.

Honestly, physically it's safe unless your gynac told you not to. But realistically, by 6th month I was so tired and bloated that romance was the last thing on my mind! If you have the energy, go for it, just find a comfortable position.

I am in my 5th month now and my husband and I are also very confused about this. Is there any specific position that is safer as the bump grows? I feel a bit shy to ask my gynac directly.

I'm still planning my pregnancy and reading up on this. I always wondered if it's safe or if it hurts the baby inside. It's so reassuring to read everyone's real experiences here, thanks for asking this!

Normally it's safe in the second trimester, but since I had thyroid issues I was on regular follow-ups and always double-checked everything with my doctor. If your doctor says your pregnancy is low-risk and placenta is fine, then it's absolutely okay.
