First time pregnant and honestly me and my husband are both a little unsure and scared to hurt the baby. We are in second trimester now. Just wanted to hear from others how they managed this comfortably.
In my case doctor told me to avoid it for first trimester because of spotting. So please dont follow general advice, check with your gynac about your specific situation first.
It is fine if your doctor hasnt said otherwise. Side lying positions are more comfy as belly grows. If you ever feel pain or bleeding after, stop and call your doc.
For most normal pregnancies it is safe, but please ask your own gynac first especially if you have any spotting or other issue. They will tell you based on your case. Comfort and gentleness is the main thing.
Dont feel shy to ask your doctor this, they hear it all the time. As long as you are cleared and comfortable, it is normal. Listen to your body always.
