Beta, humare yahan kehte hain ki starting ke mahino me thoda bachaakar chalna chahiye. Doctor se pooch kar hi aage badho toh man ko shanti rahegi.

Hasini Goyal · Answer

It is generally safe if your pregnancy has no complications, but do consult your gynac first.

Preeti Mittal · Answer

Normally, it is completely safe if you have a normal pregnancy, but it is always best to ask your gynac during your checkup. Make sure you both are comfortable and there is no pressure or pain.

Zankhna Chetty · Answer

My gynac explained that unless you have complications like placenta previa, cervical incompetence, or a history of miscarriage, intercourse is safe throughout pregnancy. Just avoid positions that put pressure on your abdomen.

Shilpa Rao · Answer

Please check with your gynac before having intercourse, especially in the first trimester. If you have any history of bleeding, low-lying placenta, or cramps, doctors usually advise to avoid it.

Mohini Salunkhe · Answer

It is safe in most cases, but realistically, make sure you get a green light from your doctor first. Don't push yourself if you are feeling too tired or physically uncomfortable.

Deepa Menon · Answer

Keep your thoughts positive and trust your body. It is safe in low-risk pregnancies, but do what feels comfortable for your health and always consult your doctor.

Vinita Biswal · Answer

Biologically, the baby is well protected by the amniotic sac and cervix plug, so intercourse won't hurt the baby. But if there is any history of spotting or preterm labor, it is strictly avoided, so get your gynac's clearance.

Indira Thakur · Answer

I am a bit shy to talk about this, but from what I read, it is safe unless your doctor has advised against it. It's always good to have a gentle chat with your gynac first.

Agrima Sahoo · Answer

Having a history of PCOS made me extra cautious about everything, so we avoided it in the first trimester just to be safe. If your pregnancy is low-risk, it is fine, but definitely discuss it with your doctor once.
