Has anyone had sex in very early pregnancy or the first trimester? Is it 100% safe?

[Sparksi]

I’m 10dpo - libido high but worried sex could harm implantation or an early pregnancy? Could it in any way, anyone know? Has anyone been having sex all the way through and everything been ok? :) thank you

I want to be sarcastic and say that no woman has ever had sex after the moment of implantation, but I think deep down you know that isn't true.

It is totally normal to carry on a healthy sex life all the way through pregnancy. Many women don't even know they are pregnant until about 6 weeks.

If you are horny, go for it.

is completely safe. go for it

Hi OP, no definitely no harm done, sex will have no impact whatsoever, completely safe don’t worry. I’m 8 months pregnant now and we’ve been having regular sex right through. Only really stopping now because I’m the size of a small cow now and it’s just not really possible🤣

Personally I’ve stopped since I found out I was preggers . I’ve had a couple of random bleeds and there’s no cause for it , have put it down to sensitive cervix .
i know sex can lead to cramps and bleeding afterward so it wasn’t worth the extra anxiety

Had more sex than ever when pregnant with my son! Now 5. Regular sex now and almost 36 weeks pregnant, just less often than with my son as I'm always exhausted 🤣. No issues!

You do not have to stop having sex. Plenty of people carry on right through pregnancy.

But if it had no effect at all, it begs the question why women undergoing IVF who've just undergone a frozen embryo transfer (FET) are advised not to have sex immediately?
It's so that nothing can disrupt the possible implantation of the embryo.

So while most people are fine to just keep having sex, and in fact since you can't pinpoint the exact moment of ovulation unless you have an ultrasound or get symptoms like ovulation pain then it's possible that you didn't actually ovulate when you thought you did and by avoiding having sex you might miss your chance to get pregnant when you do ovulate.

The exception is if you have a low lying placenta or the cervix isn't completely closed then sex wouldn't be advised but otherwise it's perfectly safe.
Personally we chose to stop having sex as It was giving me cramping for days and random bleeds

We’ve carried on having sex and I’m 30 weeks. The only reason we stopped for a while was because I had hyperemisis and was totally not in the mood. I’ve had a couple of times where I’ve had some very mild spotting after sex or my partner has noticed a tiny bit of blood on his penis. My midwife has told me it’s totally normal but it actually seems to have stopped in third trimester, touch wood! I got a bit of cramping in first trimester afterwards but again quite normal I think from speaking to my midwife.

I'm 35 weeks and we are still having sex. I also had a low lying placenta (it's moved now) and wasn't advised not to have sex?

It is deffo less that usual but as a PP said that because I'm exhausted!

It's safe

But if it had no effect at all, it begs the question why women undergoing IVF who've just undergone a frozen embryo transfer (FET) are advised not to have sex immediately?
It's so that nothing can disrupt the possible implantation of the embryo.

But those are women who a) have had serious problems getting pregnant and b) have just undergone a medical procedure. It's not the same as a natural implantation.

Consensual sex is perfectly safe all through pregnancy and is to be recommended, the increased blood flow to that area of your body can result in very intense orgasms. Enjoy!

it depends what you mean by safe, but there’s nothing you can do to cause the pregnancy to end.

I did but it triggered little bleeds so we stopped until after 12 weeks and it was fine.
