yes its very OK to have sex while pregnant, unless you have been advised by your doctor not to, this is normally only if you have a high risk pregnancy like reoccurring miscarriage, which you shouldn't have sex during the first 12 weeks to reduce the risk of miscarriage. You should also not have sex once your waters have broken but unless these things are not an issue and you have a normal pregnancy then as long as its not extra rough it should be fine.
This is some information i have in a book of mine.
You'll probable find that your libido fluctuates during pregnancy. Some women find that their sex drive increases, others that the thought of sex makes them shudder. There is no physical reason for you to avoid sex during sex during pregnancy, unless you have had previous miscarriages or experience cervical problems or heavy bleeding, in which case your doctor may advise you to abstain during the early months. If you can't have sex or don't want to, remember that there are many other ways of expressing your love for each other, including kissing, stroking, caressing and body massage.
Good luck and I hope this has answered your question.

Once it becomes a habit, it's really hard to stop. He's probably gotten used to it being a non-emotional thing that is quick and easy. The two of you need to explore ways to make sex work again in your relationship. I wouldn't leave your husband over this, especially not while pregnant. This might be something that you have to put aside until after the babies are born and address it again. Try to work something out or maybe let him know what bothers you and what is acceptable. Probably not in the same room with you would be a good place to start.

Unless your OB advises otherwise, you may have sex all the way up until your water breaks, or you and your partner become uncomfortable with it.
You should be careful not to be too rough, and if you continue to use the missionary position, will likely need to prop yourself up with some pillows. Too much time spent on your back is not good, as the baby crushes the vein that returns blood from the lower body back to the heart. This can cause low blood pressure, worsen hemorrhoids, and reduce oxygen flow to the baby.
Nipple stimulation and orgasm causes the hormone oxytocin to be released, which is responsible for causing labor contractions. Also, semen contains prostaglandins, which cause cervical ripening. Because of this, sex can be used as a possible means to trigger labor if you're full-term, but may not necessarily work.

As long as the doctor gives you the OK yes it alright to have sex while pregnant. If there is anything wrong your doc will tell you no sex.
There are some reasons why you can't have sex though. The protein in semen has something in it that can actually make contractions start. You can't hurt the baby by having sex unless there is a medical reason. During a normal pregnancy you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Talk to your doc first if you are scared or worried.

Unless your dr forbids it, go for it! A lot of women (me included) found that it actually felt better, b/c there is heightened blood flow to the area, and extra lubrication, which makes you more sensitive and more receptive. You'll need to get creative in positioning as you get larger, but that just adds to the fun! Just be prepared for some contractions/cramping following orgasm, b/c it tends to cause the uterus to constrict. (Comes in handy when you're at 38 weeks and fed up w/ the whole pregnancy thing... it actually can trigger labor!) BTW... I have to have an "appliance" used on the clitoris to achieve orgasm, and dr said that was ok too. Just be careful with using dildos and such. Can lead to premature rupture of the membranes...

its ok on your 2nd tri. for as long as you are comfortable. on your 3rd tri or anytime if you have high risk pregnancy, its not a good thing coz it will make u have a lot of arousement that will lead u to some pre term labor, which is very bad. even touching nipples (yah even breastfeeding) can cause this too. so rule is dont engage into sex if not advced by your doctor.

Yes unless your doc says differently.
You can have intercourse right up until you deliver if you have the ok form the doc and you feel like it.
Actually at the end of pregnancy sex can help bring on labor.

you can but it all depends on where your placenta is located.. if it is at the bottom where your cervix is they dont really recommend having sex because you can damage the placenta and if it is at the top they may tell you the some thing. the baby can hit the placenta while you are having sex and damage it. when you have an ultrasound ask where your placenta is located. mine is on the right side and they told me i was fine to have sex throughout my pregnancy.

I had the best sex when I was preggo...And when you get too big for some more conventional styles (i.e. missionary) try doggy style, it's really more comfortable when you have a big preggo belly! :-)
Talk to your doctor, though, if you have any complications. There are some conditions (i.e. placenta previa) that a doctor would recommend you not have sex.

It is okay to have sex while your pregnant unless your doctor says that it isn't or you don't feel comfortable in having sex.
Good luck
