Is Intimacy Safe During Pregnancy?
In most cases, intimacy is safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to follow certain guidelines and consult with your healthcare provider. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) suggests that intimacy is generally safe during pregnancy, but there are some exceptions.
When to Avoid Intimacy During Pregnancy
- High-risk pregnancy: If you have a high-risk pregnancy, your healthcare provider may advise against intimacy.
- Bleeding or spotting: If you experience vaginal bleeding or spotting, it's best to avoid intimacy and consult your healthcare provider.
- Preterm labor: If you're experiencing preterm labor or have a history of preterm labor, your healthcare provider may recommend avoiding intimacy.
- Ruptured membranes: If your water has broken, it's essential to avoid intimacy to prevent infection.
Tips for Safe Intimacy During Pregnancy
- Communicate with your partner: Discuss any concerns or discomfort with your partner.
- Choose comfortable positions: Experiment with positions that are comfortable for you and your growing belly.
