Yes, sex is generally safe during the fourth month of pregnancy as long as there are no complications and both partners are comfortable. It is important to use precautions to ensure safety for both the mother and the baby. You can use water-based lubricants and try different positions to ensure comfort. However, it is always recommended to consult with your obstetrician for personalized advice. In terms of precautions, it is important to avoid any pressure on the abdomen, use gentle movements, and communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort. If there are any concerns or complications, it is best to abstain from sex and consult with your healthcare provider.

My wife has a bulgy uterus around 11.2 cm but no issues like bleeding or pain. The doctor recently removed her left ovary along with an ovarian cyst. She's had two C-sections. Should she still take medication for the bulgy uterus or are there other options we should consider?

A bulky uterus without symptoms doesn't always need treatment; monitoring or hormone therapy can help if needed, especially post-cyst removal and prior surgeries.

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and my anomaly scan showed my cervical length at 3.14 cm. My doctor has prescribed me gestofit 300 mg for 30 days as a progesterone supplement. Is this safe for me and the baby? Will it help increase my cervical length? I'd love some advice.

Gestofit 300 mg (progesterone supplement) is generally considered safe for you and your baby, and may help improve cervical length and reduce preterm birth risk, but closely monitor your condition and follow-up with your doctor to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
