In a low-risk pregnancy, you can continue as long as you both are comfortable, even up to the third trimester. Just don't strain yourself and prioritize your energy levels.

Gulabi Kelkar · Answer

If your pregnancy is going normal, you don't have to stop. Just listen to your body and go slow.

Kavya Khanna · Answer

We kept going until the 8th month, and it was perfectly safe. Just make sure you are comfortable and communicative with your partner about what feels good.

Generally, you don't need to stop unless there are specific medical issues like placenta previa or risk of preterm labor. Your gynac is the best person to evaluate this, so do discuss it openly during your scan visits.

Honestly, I was throwing up constantly in my first trimester, so sex was the last thing on my mind! Once the sickness cleared up, we resumed gently. Just do what feels right for your body.

Look, there is no fixed rule to stop unless your doctor has specifically advised bed rest or pelvic rest. Just avoid any positions that put pressure on your stomach.

Mohini Madhavan · Answer

With twins, my doctor advised stopping after the second trimester to avoid any early labor risk. If you are expecting multiples, definitely check with your doctor as rules are a bit different!

Dakshina Dubey · Answer

I had a low-lying placenta and some bleeding, so my doctor told us to stop immediately. Please ask your gynac first because if you have any such complications, it's not safe at all.

Geetanjali Chetty · Answer

I felt so scared and nervous about hurting the baby, so we decided to stop in the first trimester. Once we crossed that mark and the doctor reassured us, we felt much more comfortable.

Architha Dubey · Answer

I used to panic thinking it could cause a miscarriage, but my doctor cleared my doubts and said the baby is safe in the amniotic sac. Unless there is bleeding, it is completely normal.

Usually, intimacy is safe throughout a normal pregnancy. But if you ever feel any cramps, pain, or leaking afterwards, stop immediately and contact your doctor.

Avanee Rout · Answer

I think intimacy is a beautiful way to stay connected, but if you are worried, maybe just have a gentle chat with your doctor to understand what precautions to take.
