Yes, it is allowed both religiously and medically unless your doctor has advised bed rest.

Aparajita Dhawan · Answer

During my pregnancy, we had no medical issues, so we were intimate and it was completely fine. But definitely check with your gynac first to be safe.

Mamta Tripathy · Answer

My doctor said physical activity and intimacy are fine, but just be careful. Since I had GD, I was always extra cautious about everything, but medically it's usually safe.

Falak Maheshwari · Answer

I had to do regular follow-ups for my thyroid, and I asked my doctor about intimacy too. She said it is perfectly safe as long as there is no bleeding or high-risk issue.

Zoya Shroff · Answer

Practically speaking, just make sure you are comfortable and there is no pain. Definitely ask your gynac during your routine checkup to be 100% sure.

Jayalakshmi Majmudar · Answer

Looking back, we worried about this so much! But yes, it is allowed and safe, just listen to your body and your doctor's advice.

Lavina Hada · Answer

From a religious standpoint, it is generally allowed, but honestly, your doctor's advice is what matters most. If your gynac says you have a low-lying placenta or any risk, then you must avoid it.

Shikha Gaikwad · Answer

I was actually wondering about the medical side of this too since we are planning to conceive soon. From what I've read, as long as your pregnancy has no complications, it is totally fine.
