My husband and I are wondering about intimacy during this time. How long can you continue to have sex safely during pregnancy? Are there any specific times when it's not advised?
Every pregnancy is different, so it's always safest to check with your gynac first. They can tell you if there are any risks like low-lying placenta where intimacy is strictly avoided.
It is totally safe till the ninth month if everything is normal! In fact, some say it even helps with normal delivery later on, but just do what feels comfortable for you and your baby.
Please be very careful with this. I had some spotting in my first trimester and my doctor strictly advised complete pelvic rest, so it is highly recommended to ask your gynac first before doing anything.
Honestly, unless your doctor says no, it is generally safe. But you should keep your energy levels and budget in mind because any complication means extra doctor visits and expensive scans, so we chose to be super careful to avoid any emergency hospital expenses.
You can actually go ahead till the very end of your pregnancy if your cervix is fine and there are no complications. Just find comfortable positions as your belly grows and listen to your body.
With work stress and being exhausted all the time, honestly, my sex drive was quite low. But technically you can do it throughout, just dont force yourself if u are too tired after office hours.
