Dear, 5th month is generally considered the golden period, so intimacy is safe for most couples. Just avoid putting any pressure on your belly and stop immediately if you feel any discomfort. A quick chat with your doctor will ease your mind.

I conceived at 39 after a bit of struggle and now I am in my second trimester. Honestly, I still get anxious about complications due to my age. Are there other moms here who conceived around 40? How was your journey?

Just wear loose, breathable cotton panties. Make sure they are soft and don't press tightly on your lower belly.

While mild back pain is normal as the uterus expands, please be very careful if the pain is severe or accompanied by even light spotting. Having faced a miscarriage earlier, I always suggest checking with your doctor immediately if the pain feels intense or sharp.

Honestly, it's totally safe and normal! It won't hurt the baby at all as they are well protected inside. Just stay relaxed, choose comfortable positions, and check with your doc once to ensure your pregnancy is going smoothly.
