Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. Both me and hubby thoda nervous about whether its okay or it can harm the baby this early. Is it actually fine or better to wait? A bit shy to ask my gynac directly tbh.
It is absolutely safe and normal in a healthy pregnancy, so don't believe the old wives' tales. Just avoid any positions that put pressure on your stomach. Of course, if you have any spotting or cramping, stop immediately and check with your doctor.
We are currently trying to conceive and I also read a lot about this. From what I've learned, it is usually safe but it's always good to be very gentle. Talking to a doctor before making any decisions might help ease your mind.
Generally, intimacy is perfectly fine in the first trimester as the baby is well protected. However, it's always best to ask your gynecologist during your first scan because they will check if there's any low-lying placenta or bleeding risk. Every pregnancy is unique, so professional advice is the safest route.
Having gone through a miscarriage, I was extremely scared and chose to avoid it completely in the first trimester for my peace of mind. While doctors say it's safe for normal pregnancies, if you feel even slightly anxious, it is okay to wait. Please do what makes you feel safe and talk to your gynac first.
After our long IVF journey, we chose to be extremely cautious and avoided intimacy in the early weeks on our doctor's advice. It's so important to protect your emotional well-being along with your physical health during this delicate time. Please consult your specialist to see what is safe for your specific situation.
