One of the most common questions we get from couples—usually asked hesitantly, or right at the end of the check-up—is:
"Sex karna safe hai kya?"

It’s a fair question. But unfortunately, most people are too shy to ask it openly.
At Maternite Hospital, we tell couples what we’ve learned from years of experience — pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to stop being close. You just need to understand when it’s okay and when it’s not.

So, Is It Safe?

In a normal pregnancy — yes. If everything is going smoothly and your doctor hasn’t advised against it, then intimacy is not a problem.
The baby is not affected. He or she is safely cushioned inside the uterus.

What does matter is how the woman feels. Some feel tired, nauseated, or just not in the mood. And that’s okay.

When We Tell Couples to Avoid It

There are some conditions where we clearly say no:

• If there’s bleeding or spotting
• If the placenta is low (placenta previa)
• If the cervix is weak
• If you’ve had previous miscarriages or early labor
• If you’re expecting twins or more

In these cases, it’s better to avoid intercourse completely. Other forms of closeness—holding hands, lying next to each other, massages—can help stay emotionally connected.

It’s Not the Same in Every Trimester

Early weeks – Many women feel nauseous, bloated, or tired. They might not feel like getting close.
Middle months – For many, this is the easiest phase. Energy returns, and mood is better.
Last few weeks – With the belly growing heavy, back pain, and the baby moving often, comfort becomes tricky.

Talk to each other. And listen to your body.

When to Call the Doctor Immediately

Stop and come in if:

• There’s bleeding after intimacy
• You feel cramps or pain
• You feel dizzy or breathless
• There’s any unusual discharge

Don’t ignore it. It’s not “small.” And don’t feel embarrassed. We answer these concerns every day.
