have sex while pregnant, everything I've read said its ok. I am 3 months and had sex with my husband for the first time since being pregnant this morning, and I just want to make sure it is ok because I am very paranoid!! Also, is it normal for morning sickness to start letting up now? I am a little over 11 weeks, and although I am still extremely tired, my nausa seems to have toned down a bit. Is this ok?!

Absolutely, we did throughout my pregnancy... in fact when you are almost due it'll help relax your cervix. There's no normal with morning sickness, some people never get it and some have it all along, or for some it comes and goes. You sound perfectly fine. Don't hesitate to call your midwife or OB for anything and everything, they're used to it and they know your details so they can give personalized answers based on your history.

Your nausia stops when it wants to. There is no set time. Usually after 12 weeks it lets up. But everyone is different.
Sex it not only safe, its good for you, the baby, and your husband. Unless you have high blood pressure, placenta previa, an unformed cervix, or other complications like that, then you're encuoraged to have sex. Its some of the best sex you'll have in all your life. all that blood and sensation. Plus the exercise is excellent for keeping your vagina and birth canal in shape for delivery, and the baby gets to share in your endorphins which is excellent for it.
Your doctor would have told you if you're a high risk pregnancy.
Just as a note, so you dont go freaking out, if your partner gets a little too enthusiastic and bumps up against your cervix during sex you can spot after. Bright pink or red blood. Its normal, and will stop. Bleeding is never okay during pregnancy, but spotting, epseically after sex, is. Bleeding is like a period, spotting is just like it sounds, intermitant blood, usually only on toilet paper, or just enough to fill a panty liner.
You'll know if he's hitting your cervix because it is uncomfortable. The more pregnant you get the more aware you will be of what your cervix feels like when irritated. Its kinda a pinchy scratchy feeling. Take control during sex to avoid him getting too deep. Then you wont worry :)

Yes, its fine. Only time you shouldn't is when it doesn't feel comfortable anymore. When I was pregnant my first time I had NO sex drive and just didn't want to, and then in those final months it felt too uncomfortable for me.
I am at 13 weeks and still having morning sickness, it is different for everybody~ so just be happy that its wearing off! it is not a sign of anything bad, some people don't experience it at all.
Good Luck to you on the rest of your pregnancy and Happy new Year! :)

It's OK as long as it is comfortable for you with no pain and no bleeding occurs. As you get farther along and your belly gets larger, you will want to avoid the missionary position (on your back). One, it's harder for you to get your breath and it can stress the baby and, it's pretty awkward. There are lots of other positions you can try--just find whichever is comfortable for you. Most couples find sex even more meaningful during pregnancy.
Although many women suffer from "morning" sickness (kind of a misnomer since it can occur at different times of the day and for 24 hours a day, in rare cases) most women report that it subsides markedly after the 12th week or so as your body adjusts to the hormones of pregnancy. Your fatigue is also due to your body's adjustment to pregnancy and you should be getting a second wind. As you get larger and your weight distribution changes with your posture, you are likely to fatigue easily again though. Look at it this way--all of these conditions associated with pregnancy are temporary and a small price to pay for the rewards and joys of motherhood!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Enjoy every minute of this marvelous journey!

My doctor told me that in a normal pregnancy, it's ok to have sex all the way through the pregnancy. Also, morning sickness usually does start easing up around 12 weeks.

It's fine unless the doctor says otherwise. The dr. may say no sex if you are bleeding, have placenta previa, or other serious complications. If the doc hasn't said anything then go for it. Sometimes being pregnant makes it even better. Have fun!

Nausea comes and goes. Nothing to worry about. Yes, sex is perfectly okay.

Yes, it is, but you may want to change positions so less stress is on you and your body (like side by side)
