Im 4 months pregnant and honestly thoda hesitant about this. Both of us are scared it might harm the baby somehow. Is it actually safe or better to avoid? would love to hear ur experiences.
When I was pregnant for the first time, I felt so much hesitation and worry about hurting the baby. But my husband was so gentle, and I felt that it actually brought us much closer emotionally during a time of so much change. Just go slow and do what feels right.
In our house, my mother-in-law quietly advised me to be very careful and avoid it during the first and last months. We decided to play it safe and followed that traditional advice, which gave us peace of mind.
Oh, I was so terrified of this and searched a million forums! Generally, doctors say it is safe unless you have complications, but I was still too anxious to try. Don't force yourself if you are feeling scared, your comfort is what matters most.
In my experience, we completely avoided it in the first trimester just because I was too tired and scared. Once we entered the second trimester, we felt much more comfortable and everything was completely fine. It really depends on how your body feels.
Since I had thyroid issues and a slightly high-risk pregnancy, my doctor advised us to avoid it in the initial months. It's really important to keep up with your regular checkups and ask your gynac clearly. Every pregnancy has different medical requirements.
It is completely natural to feel anxious and confused about this, please don't feel guilty at all. If you are feeling too stressed, it's absolutely okay to take a break and focus on cuddling instead. Talk to your doctor to ease your mind, it helps so much.
I totally understand your hesitation, dear, it's such a delicate time and you want to protect your little miracle. If your doctor has given you a green signal, it is completely safe as the baby is well protected. Just follow your heart and your body's comfort.
