Bit shy to ask this but we are both confused and dont want to harm the baby. Im around 14 weeks now and everything is normal so far. Pls share honestly if its fine or we should wait.
Honestly, I am in my 5th month and my partner and I are so confused about this too. Our gynac said it's totally safe as long as I feel comfortable, but we are still a bit hesitant. Did your doctor mention any specific restrictions?
Having faced a painful miscarriage in my past, I was extremely terrified of doing anything that could hurt the baby. If you have any history of bleeding or complications, please avoid it and seek your gynac's approval first. Safety of the baby comes first.
Since my pregnancy was through IVF after years of trying, our doctor advised us to completely avoid intercourse for the first trimester, and we chose to avoid it throughout to be extra careful. Please talk to your clinic, they will give you the best advice based on your history.
This is a question I have also been wondering about while planning my pregnancy. It's so good to see other women discussing it openly. From what I've read, as long as the doctor hasn't flagged any risk, it should be fine.
Listen, it's generally safe if your pregnancy is normal and you don't have complications. But don't just guess—ask your doctor directly in your next visit without feeling shy. If there is any bleeding or pain, stop immediately.
I completely understand the anxiety around this, I used to worry that even sleeping wrong would affect the baby. Yes, it is physically safe because the baby is well protected, but only do it if you are mentally relaxed and comfortable with it.
With twins growing inside me, my tummy got huge early on, so sex was practically out of the question due to pure exhaustion! Generally, it is safe, but with two babies my doc advised us to take it easy. Ask your doctor based on your scan reports.
