First pregnancy and im in second trimester now. Honestly thoda awkward to ask but me and my husband are unsure whether its safe and how to be careful. Can someone share their experience pls?
My doctor told me that sex is completely safe during pregnancy as long as you have a low-risk pregnancy with no complications like placenta previa or bleeding. She advised finding positions where there is no pressure on the belly, like side-lying. Just make sure to confirm with your own gynac once.
With a twin belly, finding a comfortable position was like a game of Tetris, honestly! Side-lying or spooning is definitely the easiest way to go. Just keep it gentle, use lots of pillows for support, and don't try anything acrobatic!
I know it can feel so weird and you might feel guilty or scared of hurting the baby, but the baby is well protected in the amniotic sac. It is totally natural to want intimacy, or even to avoid it if you aren't feeling up to it. Just communicate openly with your husband.
I am also in my second trimester and we were so confused about this! We actually tried side-lying positions because they don't put any weight on my belly, which felt much safer and comfortable. Did anyone else feel a bit of mild cramping after, or is that normal?
Intimacy during pregnancy is safe if your doctor clears you, but just make sure to listen to your body. Later on, if you end up with a C-section like I did, you'll need to wait at least 6 weeks postpartum to heal completely. Take it easy and don't rush into anything uncomfortable.
Hey, don't stress too much about this! As long as your gynac hasn't put you on pelvic rest, you are totally good to go. Just find whatever position feels comfortable for your bump, take it slow, and stop if anything hurts.
