Is mastrubation good during pregnancy?

Question

I'm pregnant and have some questions about intimacy during this time. Is masturbation considered safe or even beneficial during pregnancy for a woman?

Chitralekha Raju · Answer

My kid is a hyper toddler now, but I remember worrying about this so much back then! Looking back, it was completely fine and didn't cause any harm at all.

Deeksha Deora · Answer

Haan na, it is actually quite normal and safe if pregnancy normal chal rahi hai. Safe pressure or pleasure actually helps you relax, ho na?

Manorama Patil · Answer

I delivered just 2 months back. I had the same question during my first trimester, but my gynac cleared it up and said it's totally fine and even helps with stress.

Shikha Sundaram · Answer

I am in my 5th month now and honestly had the same doubt. My doc said it's totally safe as long as there are no complications like bleeding. Anyone else here felt a bit of mild cramping after though?

Shilpa Mehta · Answer

Please check with your gynac once just to be absolutely sure. After my previous miscarriage, I was extremely scared to do anything without asking my doctor first.

Nita Namboothiri · Answer

Yes, it is perfectly fine and safe unless your doctor has specifically asked you to avoid it.

Mishti Velayutham · Answer

I totally understand how confusing these urges can feel right now, dear. Don't feel guilty at all, it's completely natural and safe for you and the little one.

Mythili Chopra · Answer

Same here, my doctor also confirmed it is totally safe. Just don't overdo it if you feel any discomfort.

Anika Dey · Answer

Honestly, I did it throughout my second trimester when my drive was super high. It really helped me sleep better, but that was just my personal experience.

Karishma Bhatia · Answer

Pregnancy is so tough, especially if you have bad morning sickness like I did. If this gives you some physical relief and makes you feel good, definitely go for it, it is totally safe.
