Bit shy to ask this but we are both confused. Im in second trimester and we want to be close but dont know which way is safe and comfortable. Married couples here pls share honestly.
Honestly, with this huge 3rd-trimester belly, the only thing I want to make is a plate of hot pakoras! But seriously, if you both feel like it, just try comfortable side-lying positions so there is no pressure on your stomach. Just check with your doc first to ensure there is no medical reason to avoid it.
Beta, in our times we were told to be very cautious, especially in the first and last months. If you feel any pain or discomfort, you should rest and maybe drink some warm milk with saffron to relax your body. Always ask your gynac if it is completely safe for your specific case.
My doctor told us that as long as there are no complications like bleeding or low-lying placenta, intimacy is perfectly safe. But please be very gentle and communicate with your husband if anything hurts. After my C-section, I realized how important it is to just go slow and heal at your own pace.
I am also planning to conceive soon and honestly, I have always wondered about this! Is it really safe throughout all nine months or do doctors advise against it in certain weeks? It's good to learn about these things beforehand so we don't worry later.
When I had severe nausea in my first trimester, intimacy was the last thing on my mind because I was constantly throwing up. My advice is to only go ahead if you are actually feeling up to it and comfortable. Don't force yourself, and make sure to use positions where your bump isn't strained.
