This feels embarrassing to ask, but my body feels different and I am scared of discomfort. My husband is also very careful and we end up avoiding completely. How did couples manage closeness during pregnancy?
Mainly its about comfort and finding positions that dont put weight on your belly, especially later on. Side lying worked well for me as the bump grew. If your pregnancy is healthy its fine, just go gentle and listen to your body.
Comfort first, positions that avoid pressure on the abdomen are usually recommended as the bump grows. It's safe in a normal pregnancy. If you have any complications or pain, pause and check with your gynac before continuing.
Honestly just keep it comfy and slow yaar, nothing to overthink. Avoid pressure on the tummy, communicate with ur partner. If anything feels off, stop and rest, no big deal.
Nothing complicated beta, just be gentle and pick what feels comfortable for you both. As the tummy grows, avoid lying flat or pressure on it. And if your doctor has given any caution for your case, follow that first.
