Since I went through a painful miscarriage earlier, I was extremely scared of any uterine contractions. Honestly, if you have a high-risk pregnancy or any history of spotting, it is best to avoid or ask your gynac first.
It is a very personal thing, so do whatever makes your mind and body feel relaxed and positive. Just keep a happy state of mind and take good care of your health during this beautiful phase.
Yes dear, it's totally safe and actually helps to relieve pregnancy stress. I had a normal delivery and my doctor told me it's absolutely natural as long as you feel comfortable.
Even I was reading up on this while planning our pregnancy. From what I've seen, it is completely safe unless the doctor has advised strict pelvic rest due to some complication.
Unless there is bleeding, a low-lying placenta, or pre-term labor risk, it's perfectly fine. The light contractions you feel are harmless, but checking with your doctor during your next scan will give you total peace of mind.
