...are you even pregnant? Its no different than having sex without a baby in your tummy.. you cant hurt the baby by having sex, because they are well protected in the womb, and even having someone lay on top of your tummy, although uncomfortable, will not hurt them. Considering the way you asked your question and how young you sound, however, I wouldnt suggest you be having sex at ALL.

well the way to have sex when you have a baby in your tummy is actually impossible...you see you can't have a baby in your belly tehnically a baby is in your uterus...if you want to have sex you can just do what you normally do. but by the look of your avatar and the wording you used in ur question you seem too young to be having sex and if you r then you need to use protection

If you are far along in your pregnacy you can try on your side. or lay at the edge of the bed. there are a lot of ways be experimental. And if you are uncomferitable try a diffrent way. I have 5 kids so I know waht I am saying it is ok to have sex while you are pregnant. And it is a good way to find new ways too. Have fun. ;)

how old r u? r u even old enough to have a baby in ur UTERUS ?(by the way, that's where a baby develops, it's not actually in ur 'tummy', that's just what little kids say!) my gosh, u even used the childish 'tummy', not 'stomach' or even 'belly'. if u r old enough, it is possible, u may just have to get a little more creative with "positions".

Ok, well first, let me say that you sound, hmm whats the nice way to put it, unintelligent with the way you asked that question, so I would abstain from sex EVER. Also, to the person who said you can have sex up until the 4th trimester, since when is there ever a 4th trimester?

you can have it just like normal. i wouldn't be too rough with it as your pregnancy matures. i'm not sure how long you can do it but i think its almost the whole 9 months. i would ask a doctor. here is a website where you can ask a doctor online in case you don't want to ask in person... though I would still ask your real doctor next time you go for a check up: www.justanswer.com

The same why you did before you were pregnant (if that is the case)! I don't think you should be having sex or a child if you need to ask this question.

You can have sex, but take care of your positions.
Believe it or not, he does still find you sexy. (And, admit it, you feel the same about him.) Keep the flame going while the baby's growing with these ways to make it comfortable and enjoyable for you both.
As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like. But you may not always want to. At first, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue and nausea may sap your sexual desire. During the second trimester, increased blood flow to your sexual organs and breasts may rekindle your desire for sex. But by the third trimester, weight gain, back pain and other symptoms may once again dampen your enthusiasm for sex.
Can sex cause a miscarriage?
Many couples worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, especially in the first trimester. But sex isn't a concern. Early miscarriages are usually related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems in the developing baby — not to anything you do or don't do.
Does sex harm the baby?
The baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the mucous plug that blocks the cervix throughout most of your pregnancy. Your partner's penis won't touch the baby.
Are any sexual positions off-limits during pregnancy?
As your pregnancy progresses, experiment to find the most comfortable positions. There's just one caveat. Avoid lying flat on your back during sex. If your uterus compresses the veins in the back of your abdomen, you may feel lightheaded or nauseous.
What about oral sex?
If you have oral sex, make sure your partner does not blow air into your vagina. Rarely, a burst of air may block a blood vessel (air embolism) — which could be a life-threatening condition for you and the baby.
Can orgasms trigger premature labor?
Orgasms can cause uterine contractions. But these contractions are different from the contractions you'll feel during labor. Research indicates that if you have a normal pregnancy, orgasms — with or without intercourse — don't lead to premature labor or premature birth.
Are there times when sex should be avoided?
Although most women can safely have sex throughout pregnancy, sometimes it's best to be cautious.
Preterm labor. Exposure to the prostaglandins in semen may cause contractions — which could be worrisome if you're at risk of preterm labor.
Vaginal bleeding. Sex is not recommended if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Problems with the cervix. If your cervix begins to open prematurely (cervical incompetence), sex may pose a risk of infection.
Problems with the placenta. If your placenta partly or completely covers your cervical opening (placenta previa), sex could lead to bleeding and preterm labor.
Multiple babies. If you're carrying two or more babies, your doctor may advise you not to have sex late in pregnancy — although researchers have not identified any relationship between sex and preterm labor in twins.
Should my partner use a condom?
Exposure to sexually transmitted diseases during pregnancy increases the risk of infections that can affect your pregnancy and your baby's health. If you have a new sexual partner during pregnancy, use a condom when you have sex.
What if I don't want to have sex?
That's OK. There's more to a sexual relationship than intercourse. Share your needs and concerns with your partner in an open and loving way. If sex is difficult, unappealing or off-limits, try cuddling, kissing or massage.
After the baby is born, how soon can I have sex?
Whether you give birth vaginally or by C-section, your body will need time to heal. Many doctors recommend waiting six weeks before resuming intercourse. This allows time for your cervix to close and any tears or a repaired episiotomy to heal.
If you're too sore or exhausted to even think about sex, maintain intimacy in other ways. Share short phone calls throughout the day or occasional soaks in the tub. When you're ready to have sex, take it slow — and use a reliable method of contraception.

Um well first of all, your baby is not in your "tummy", its in you uterus.
Second, ask your OB.
