As long as your OBGYN hasn't told you to not have sex it is 100% ok to continue to have sex throughout your entire pregnancy. You will gain weight as the baby grows and you build up more amniotic fluid plus the size of the placenta and your enlarging breasts if they are getting bigger. Yes your belly should start getting bigger and heavier and sitting down and getting back up or even just walking straight can become a challenge as your belly grows.

8 pounds in a month is not good in most cases especially since you are still only 24 weeks. That with you being so big already could be a sign of gestational diabetes. Have you been tested? Spotting can be caused by many things. It could be caused by an exam, sex etc.. As long as you are not cramping and you do not bleed through a pad you will be OK. Being intimate is OK as long as you are not high risk but if you do not feel like it express it too your partner. Be honest. Stress doesn't help you any and there are other intimate things you can do besides penetration

Intercourse is normal during pregnancy, and so is the urge for intimacy. Before anything, though, you might want to do some checkups with your doctor about this. There's nothing to be shy about - heck, you're already with a baby. What else does a doctor need to know that you guys are already hitting the sack?
Again, it's okay to have sex during pregnancy. If it contributes to your relationship with your bf, then why not? As for the weight, you can't help it, really. But if you still want to stay fit during pregnancy, you can do some light exercises. Again, refer to your doctor before attempting anything, even stuff from self-guide books.
All in all, may your pregnancy semesters be blessed!

Stress can definitely affect your pregnancy, you just need to try extra hard to walk away and take a few breathes. Mood swings are very normal, but fighting and causing you to get yourself upset is not good. Try getting into yoga (preferably the type geared towards preggo women), that should help get you into a state of peace and learn to adapt that to your lifestyle. An try to show extra care to your husband, if he isn't doing anything wrong, he doesn't deserve it.

You should be feeling more kicking now and you will definitely start getting bigger...the baby is growing and filling out it's "room". It's perfectly OK to continue having "intamacy" with your boyfriend and spotting is OK after sex, can be normal. Not to worry. However if you are having spotting not due to having sex I would not have sex until you can talk to your doctor. I wouldn't worry about it. And if you don't feel like having intercourse there are other things you can do.
Good luck.

Having sex through pregnancy is okay as long as your OB hasn't told you otherwise. The spotting is most likely normal. I had some light bleeding after intercourse with my last 2 pregnancies.

If you are healthy, you may go a head with intercourse. Get some comfortable position and you will enjoy it. About the spotting, it's wise to mention that to your doctor or midwife.

AS long as your pregnancy is not high-risk and your doctor has not told you not to have sex it is ok up until your water breaks.
