Hi Doc,  My wife recently got pregnant. We checked with my relative sister (who is a Gynae) and her report is attached in the documents  My Wife is facing below symptoms due to pregnancy: 1) Tireness/Fatigue 2) Continous Nausea type feeling 3) Lethargy 4) Unable to eat properly/Loss of appetite 5) Minor menstrual cramps 6) Constipation  We want to know if we can have normal sex with mentioned condition of my wife. If we can have sex, does it needs to be protected or we can have unprotected sex too or will it affect the baby. Due to corona issue, we are reluctant to go to another doctor with our query and our current doctor is in our blood relation, so we are feeling shy to ask her the question of having sex.
Hello, Congrats on your pregnancy. Though u have not mentioned clearly how many weeks of pregnancy,I assume in must be within the first 12weeks as u have said she is recently pregnant. The symptoms of tirednes,nausea ,lethargy,unable to eat r very common first trimester symptoms. The key is to eat small frequent foods which r good in protein .lots of fluid intake also is advised . Have u done a first trimester scan?? If not u r advised tobdo the scan to rule out any cause for the menstrual cramps and also the position of the developing placenta. If she has menstrual cramp like symptom ,I would advise to notbstrain yourself too much. Sexual activity is better avoided in the first 12weeks as it can lead to abortions.afterv12weeks if ur scan is normal and the placenta is not low lying ,unprotected intercourse can be done..avoiding penetration would be another way to keep it safe in the second trimester provide all other factors are normal. Hope this helps.
