Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. Both of us are a little nervous and dont want to do anything that harms the baby. Is it safe in the first few weeks ya better to wait? pls share.
In my family, elders usually advise resting and avoiding closeness in the first three months. However, my doctor said it is completely safe if there are no complications. I trusted my gynac's advice and kept things gentle.
When I was staying at my parents' home, we kept things very quiet and cautious. Elders always tell us to be extra careful in the early months, so we preferred waiting until the second trimester scan just to be absolutely sure.
I felt so terrified of harming the baby initially, so we avoided it completely in the first trimester. Looking back, I realize my fear was mostly psychological, but doing what makes you feel emotionally safe is very important.
Yes, it is perfectly fine. The baby is well-protected by the amniotic sac and the uterine muscles. Unless you have spotting, cramps, or a specific warning from your doctor, you don't need to stop.
It is generally safe as long as your pregnancy is low-risk. Just like I only did light walking after my doctor allowed, we also checked with our gynac about intimacy first. If the doctor gives a green light, there's no harm.
Honestly, medically it is safe, but with severe nausea and vomiting, you might not even feel like it. I was so exhausted in my first trimester that intimacy was the last thing on my mind. Listen to your body first!
