Im in my second trimester and feeling fine now. Both of us are confused about when it is okay and when to avoid being intimate during pregnancy. Will ask doc too but wanted to know others experiences.
Elderly family members usually advise avoiding it completely, especially in the first three months. While medically it is safe throughout an uncomplicated pregnancy, keeping it gentle in the second trimester is usually most comfortable.
With my horrible morning sickness, intimacy was the last thing on my mind during the first trimester! Once the nausea settled in the second trimester, it felt much better. Go ahead only when you feel physically ready and comfortable.
Honestly, we've been very scared to try because of my anxiety! My doctor said the second trimester is the safest and most comfortable time if there are no complications. Are other couples also waiting or is it just us?
It's safe in any trimester as long as your pregnancy is uncomplicated and your doctor hasn't put you on pelvic rest. Just avoid it if you are too tired or having cramps. Communication with your partner is key.
I was so terrified of hurting the baby that I avoided it completely in the first trimester! It's technically safe throughout unless your gynac tells you otherwise, but please listen to your body and check if you have any spotting.
