My husband and I are now in my ninth month of pregnancy, very close to delivery, and we're wondering about intimacy. Is it generally safe to have sex during the very last month of pregnancy, or should we avoid it completely now?
Generally, yes, it's safe unless your gynac has specifically advised bedrest or you have complications. If you feel any cramping or leaking after, then call your doctor immediately. Otherwise, don't worry, the baby is safely cushioned inside.
Whether it is safe depends entirely on your cervical status and if you've had any bleeding. Since the 9th month is very close to delivery, just ask your doctor quickly during your weekly checkup. It takes two minutes to clear it up rather than taking risks.
Honestly, I am only in my second trimester and even now I feel so anxious about intimacy hurting the baby. Is it really safe even in the 9th month? Please share if anyone else also feels scared about this.
If your pregnancy is smooth and you don't have any complications like low placenta, it is usually safe! Just find comfortable positions and listen to your body. Definitely double check with your doctor first for absolute peace of mind! 😊
In my 9th month, honestly, I can barely roll over in bed or reach my toes! Sex is the last thing on my mind with this huge bump. But medically, my doc said it is safe unless your water has broken or you have pain.
