My husband is scared to be intimate after we found out, and honestly I am also confused. I dont know if it is needed or should be avoided unless doctor says okay. How did you both handle this conversation?
I'd say please clear it with ur gynac first based on ur own pregnancy. In my case I had spotting issues so my doctor asked me to avoid it for some time. For a normal healthy pregnancy it's usually ok, but every case is different.
Not important as in necessary, but it's fine and safe if both want to and ur pregnancy is normal. We just listened to what felt comfortable and stopped overthinking. Closeness with ur partner matters in this phase too, in whatever form.
It's not a must-do thing yaar, dont stress about it either way. If both of u want to and the pregnancy is smooth, it's safe. If not in the mood, totally fine too, this phase is exhausting. Just do whats comfortable.
It's not compulsory, more about what u both are comfortable with. For most normal pregnancies it's perfectly safe and doesnt harm the baby. But if u have any complication like bleeding or a low lying placenta, ur gynac may advise against it, so it's worth asking her in ur case.
