It's usually safe, but it's always best to ask your gynac during your regular checkup just to be sure there are no issues.

Please check with your doctor first, especially if you have a history of bleeding, low placenta, or preterm labor. Safety of the baby comes first.

Don't worry, the baby is well protected by the amniotic sac and cervix. Just check with your doctor once to make sure you have no high-risk factors.

I felt so worried that we might hurt the baby, but my gynac reassured me that the baby is safe. Just be gentle and communicate with your partner.
