How safe is to have intercourse during pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I are wondering if it's safe to continue having intercourse now that I'm pregnant. Are there any risks involved for the baby or me, or is it generally considered safe throughout pregnancy?

We had normal intercourse throughout and it was completely fine. Just find comfortable positions and don't put pressure on the belly.

It is completely safe as long as your pregnancy is uncomplicated. I was so scared initially but my doctor reassured us and it was fine.

Charumati Dey · Answer

Actually yaar, it is totally safe unless you have complications like low lying placenta. Just ask your gynac once to be 100% sure.

My doctor explained that the amniotic sac and thick mucus plug protect the baby completely. But if you have bleeding or cramps, stop immediately and call your doc.

God has protected the baby beautifully inside. Unless doctor has advised against it, it is totally safe and natural.
