Asking on behalf of myself, bit awkward but anyway. Im in my first trimester and we're both unsure if its safe or harmful for the baby. Would love some honest experiences.
It's safe if your doctor gives the go-ahead, but honestly, listen to your body first. I had a C-section and in the later months of pregnancy, I was just too tired and uncomfortable for intimacy. Do whatever feels comfortable and healing for you.
Oh my god, I was so terrified of this and kept thinking what if it triggers labor or hurts the baby! I avoided it completely out of anxiety, though my doctor said it was safe. If you have even a little doubt, just talk to your doctor so you don't stress yourself out.
Unless you have complications like a low-lying placenta, bleeding, or a history of preterm labor, intercourse is medically safe. The baby is well protected by the amniotic sac, so don't worry. Just ask your doctor to be absolutely sure.
We are also wondering about this, I'm in my second trimester and sometimes get so scared that it might hurt the baby. Did your gynac give you any specific positions or safety tips? It would be so helpful to know.
You should ask your hospital's obstetrician clearly about this. At my premium clinic, they explicitly told us that unless there's an active complication, it's safe, but they also guide you on when to stop. It's best to get professional clarity.
Beta, during these sensitive months, it is better to be very gentle and cautious. In our times, elders advised staying away from heavy physical strain in the early and late months. Take warm milk with almonds for strength and always consult your doctor first.
