newly pregnant here, around 8 weeks. me and hubby are a little confused and honestly thoda nervous about this. dont want to do anything that harms the baccha. how did others manage this?
Don't worry dear, sex doesn't harm the baby at all in a normal, healthy pregnancy. But please make sure you ask your gynac once, because if there's any history of spotting or low-lying placenta, they usually advise rest for the first few months.
Listen, unless your doctor has specifically told you to abstain, you are good to go! The baby is tucked safely inside a thick amniotic sac, so they won't even feel it. Relax and enjoy this phase with your partner without stressing.
Generally it is completely safe as the baby is well protected inside. Just ensure you are comfortable and there is no pressure on the tummy. If you are worried, simple gentle positions are best to avoid any discomfort.
In a normal pregnancy it's safe, but if you have complications like bleeding, your doctor might ask for extra scans which adds to the hospital bills. Better to get a green light from your doctor during your regular scan appointment to avoid any sudden medical expenses.
It's a huge myth that intimacy hurts the baby. Unless your gynac tells you otherwise due to medical reasons, sex is totally healthy and fine. Just listen to your body and do what feels comfortable.
For me, my gynac advised us to avoid intercourse in the first trimester because I had a bit of early spotting. After the 12-week scan, everything was normal so we were cleared. It really depends on your individual health report.
