Bit awkward to ask but me and hubby are confused about this. Dont want to do anything risky for the baby. Which months are actually fine? curious what others were told.
I was so terrified of hurting the baby that I literally searched every forum and overthought it constantly! But honestly, as long as your pregnancy is uncomplicated, it's safe, though you must ask your doctor just to be 100% sure and get that peace of mind.
Haha, honestly, between the exhaustion and the giant belly, sex was the last thing on my mind! But medically, the second trimester is the safest and most comfortable time, though now I'd rather just sleep for 8 hours straight!
My doctor explained that the baby is fully protected by the amniotic sac and a thick mucus plug, so sex is safe during all trimesters if you have a normal pregnancy. However, she advised avoiding it in the first trimester if there is a history of bleeding, or in the last month to prevent early labor.
Hey, don't stress too much about this! Unless you have complications like a low-lying placenta, intimacy is perfectly safe, especially in the second trimester. Just have an open chat with your partner and take it easy.
Actually, sex is usually safe throughout the pregnancy unless your doctor has specifically told you not to, yaar. The second trimester is usually the most comfortable phase because morning sickness is gone and you have more energy.
