Im in my second trimester now and we are both a little unsure and scared about this. Dont want to do anything that could harm the baby. Is it okay during pregnancy or is it something to avoid?
For most it's safe, but I'll be a bit careful here because in my pregnancy the doctor had asked us to avoid it for some weeks due to my situation. So please confirm with your gynac first, especially if you've had any spotting or other issues. Every case is different.
Yaar in a normal pregnancy it's totally okay, don't stress too much about it. Comfort and what feels right keeps changing through the months, so just go with that. If your doctor hasn't put any restriction, you're good.
In a normal healthy pregnancy it's generally safe and the baby is well protected. That said, if you have any complications like bleeding, low placenta or risk of early labour, your gynac may advise against it. So the honest answer is, it's usually fine but check with your own doctor for your case.
Yes, in a low risk pregnancy it doesn't harm the baby at all. Things just shift around comfort as the belly grows. The only real rule is, if your doctor flagged any risk, follow that.
