My husband and I are curious about intimacy during this time. I'm in my early pregnancy and want to know if it's safe to continue. Is sex generally considered safe during early pregnancy?
I felt so scared and nervous about this in my first trimester, thinking it might hurt the baby. But my doctor explained that the baby is fully protected inside. We had a very gentle and beautiful connection, though we checked with our gynac first.
Unless your doctor has put a 'no entry' sign due to some medical issue, it's generally safe. Just don't try any gymnastics! But honestly, ask your doctor during your first scan just to be absolutely sure.
It is completely natural to have questions about intimacy now. Yes, it is usually safe unless your doctor has advised bed rest or pelvic rest due to some spotting. Just listen to your body and talk openly with your partner.
Whether it is safe or not completely depends on your medical history and scan reports. Some women are advised strict pelvic rest in the first month. Always get a clear go-ahead from your gynac before proceeding.
Please be cautious during the early weeks, especially if you have had past miscarriages or are experiencing any cramping or light spotting. My doctor strictly advised us to avoid intercourse in the first trimester. Definitely consult your gynac first.
