Does sex hurt in early pregnancy?

I just found out I'm pregnant, it's very early days. Sometimes, intercourse feels a bit uncomfortable now. Is it common for sex to hurt in early pregnancy, or should I be worried about this?

If you are feeling any discomfort, it is better to get a basic ultrasound done which costs around 1200 rupees to make sure everything is fine. Don't take risks or ignore pain, plan your doctor visits and tests carefully during this early phase.

Make sure you are eating a nutrient-rich, light vegetarian diet to avoid any bloating or gas, which can sometimes make abdominal discomfort feel worse. Keep your body hydrated and avoid any physical strain if you feel uneasy.

It shouldn't hurt under normal circumstances, but mild cramping can happen due to increased blood flow. However, if there is sharp pain or any spotting, stop immediately and contact your OB-GYN.

I really understand how scary and stressful this phase can be, especially when you feel any pain and start fearing the worst. I faced the same anxiety during my first trimester. Please don't suffer in silence, talk to your doctor so you can have peace of mind.

Nahi behen, halka-fulka dard kabhi-kabhi shareer ke badlaav ki wajah se hota hai. Lekin agar zyada dard ho toh bilkul risk mat lena aur turant bade hospital me dikha lena.

My doctor told me that mild discomfort can occur due to vaginal dryness or pelvic congestion in early pregnancy. However, if you experience severe cramps, pain, or any leaking or spotting, you must visit your doctor immediately to rule out complications.
