Is It Safe To Masturbate During Pregnancy?

I am 4-5 weeks pregnant. I was getting light brown vaginal discharge about 8 days back for which i have been advised treatment of Proluton Depot injections twice a week. The bleeding has stopped now. I masturbated today using the direct flow of tap water today and had an orgasm and i am worried if it will affect my baby in any way. Please let me know if it wil harm my baby.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion masturbation might not cause any problem to fetus or pregnancy.There are various causes for spotting like thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency, bleeding from cervix etc.Usually the intercourse is avoided in first trimester to prevent any bleeding or spotting.So relax.Nothing to worry.Avoid stress.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
