Newly pregnant here, around 8 weeks. me and hubby are little unsure and honestly thoda scared to do anything that might affect the baby. when is it generally ok? pls share ur experience.
According to my gynac, unless you have placenta previa, bleeding, or history of early labor, intimacy is completely fine in the second trimester especially. She said just avoid deep positions or putting pressure on the tummy.
Haha, honestly once the baby comes, you will be too sleep-deprived to even think about it! But during pregnancy, we had a go-ahead from our doc from the 4th month onwards.
I panicked so much in my first trimester thinking any movement would hurt the baby, but then learned it's totally safe if there are no complications. Just check with your gynac once to be absolutely sure.
Listen, don't stress too much about this! If your scans are normal and you don't have any pain or spotting, you can absolutely enjoy some intimate time with your partner, just be gentle.
While natural intimacy is fine, if you experience any mild cramping or spotting afterwards, immediately contact your gynac. Safe to ask them first before trying.
Just have a simple, direct talk with your doctor in your next visit to get a clear answer. If they say yes, just go slow and make sure you are in a comfortable position without any tummy pressure.
We personally avoided it in the first three months just to be safe, and then resumed slowly in the second trimester after our doctor gave the green light. Sharing just my experience, please do what feels comfortable for you.
