Dear doctor thanks a lot for your quick response and kind support. we are feeling so much relaxed that everything is normal. sorry to ask this question and m also feeling embarrassed, but want to ask that now a days my wife is feeling that her sexual instincts have become more active in this 2nd trimester. we have avoided being physical in 1st trimester as per doctor suggestions but is it safe in this trimester. Please consider my apologies if asked something wrong.

Brief Answer:

It is safe in the second trimester.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It is normal to have a better libido during pregnancy due to the hormonal changes in the body related to pregnancy.

If she does not have any problem with pain abdomen or bleeding or her pregnancy is normal without any complications, you can have sex safely during the second trimester. No need to worry.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
