Bit of a personal question, thoda awkward to ask but yaha its anonymous so. Im first trimester and just worried if intimacy can harm the baby. Anyone has clarity on this?
Please check with your gynac once to be absolutely sure. In some cases, doctors advise against it in the first trimester or if there is a history of spotting. Safety first, always ask your doctor.
Generally it is totally safe and doesn't harm the baby at all. Just make sure you are comfortable and there is no pain. But if you ever feel cramps or see any spotting after, stop immediately and call your gynac.
Absolutely not, unless you have a high-risk pregnancy with complications like placenta previa. The baby is safely cushioned in the amniotic sac. It's actually good for stress relief, so don't overthink it.
No need to worry, it is a very normal thing. Just don't put pressure on the stomach and keep things gentle. If you feel any discomfort, just take rest and ask your doctor in your next visit.
Not at all unless your doctor has specifically asked you to abstain! I actually felt my cravings got even crazier after. Just relax and enjoy this phase with your partner.
