Sex as the general term is 'sexus'
Sexual intercourse is 'coitus'
Abuse as a verb is 'abutor'
Latin did not have a word for abuse as a noun. It was generally based on the infinitive or gerund of the verb abutor. The term 'perversus mos'. literally 'perverse behavior', was sometimes used.
The general term for pregnant was 'praegnans'. "Gravida' was also used, mostly for later in the term. It comes from 'gravis', meaning heavy, and means 'heavy with child'.
