Im 10 weeks along and me and hubby are both a bit confused about this. Dont want to harm the baby in any way. Is it ok to continue or better to avoid for now?
Honestly, unless you have complications like placenta previa or a history of preterm labor, it is usually safe. Still, your gynac knows your medical history best, so always ask them during your regular visit.
I totally understand how confusing this can be, and it's completely normal to feel hesitant. Your body is doing so much work, so talk to your partner and go with what feels comfortable for you. Love has many ways.
My doctor explained that the thick mucus plug and amniotic sac protect the baby completely from any external touch. However, they recommend avoiding it if there's any spotting or pain. Definitely confirm with your doctor once.
Since I stayed at my parents' place for most of my pregnancy, we had a natural gap, haha! But whenever we met, we were very careful. It's all about comfort and what the family elders also gently advise regarding rest.
I used to panic thinking it would hurt the baby, but my doctor cleared my doubts and said the baby is well protected. Once I realized that, we felt so much more relaxed. Don't worry, it's generally safe.
In my case, we completely avoided it in the first trimester because we were scared, but did it occasionally in the second. Everyone's pregnancy is different, so just listen to your own body.
We preferred cuddling and ordering midnight desserts instead of intercourse because I was always too tired or hungry, haha! But seriously, if your doctor says it's fine, you can totally go ahead without worry.
