It is usually safe unless your doctor has advised bed rest. Just be gentle and communicate with your partner, and keep your gynac in loop.

Amoolya Panikkar · Answer

My MIL was very conservative about this, but my gynac said it's totally safe in a normal pregnancy. Just confirm once with your doctor to be safe.

Harini Sen · Answer

It's safe in normal cases, but if you have complications like gestational diabetes along with high BP, doctors might suggest caution. Better to get a green light from your gynac.

Madhumita Bhosale · Answer

In high-risk pregnancies or IVF, doctors usually advise to avoid it. Please check with your gynac first to make sure there are no complications.

Generally it is safe if you have a normal pregnancy, but please ask your doctor clearly. And if you feel any pain or spotting after, call the doc immediately.

Honestly, with the constant fatigue and nausea, sex was the last thing on my mind! But medically it is safe, just ask your doctor if you have a low-lying placenta.
