Can you have sex during pregnancy?

This is my first pregnancy, and my husband and I are a bit confused about intimacy. Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?

Yes, it is usually safe, but please check with your doctor first. I ignored some mild spotting early on and it caused complications later. Always get your gynaecologist's approval to be 100% sure everything is normal.

Yes, it is perfectly fine in a normal pregnancy. Just avoid any positions that put pressure on the stomach.

Yes, but make sure you are eating well and staying hydrated to keep your energy up. Avoid any stress and consult your doctor to ensure there are no placenta-related complications.

As someone with PCOS who had a high-risk pregnancy, we were told to be extra cautious in the first trimester. If you conceived with medical help, it is always better to take your doctor's specific advice.

I know it is medically safe, but I was so anxious about hurting the baby during my first trimester! The baby is protected by the amniotic sac, so try not to worry, but definitely ask your doctor to ease your mind.

Generally yes, but it is highly critical to get clearance from your doctor first. If there is any history of preterm labor, low-lying placenta, or bleeding, they will advise against it.
