In a normal low-risk pregnancy, sex is perfectly safe suring pregnancy. If you have a higher risk for miscarriage or something is not right, it may not be safe. But your doctor would tell you either way.

It is very safe and healthy to have sex during your pregnancy. Unless your doctor advises against it. If you have a high risk pregnancy or something like that. There are no risks and it can't harm the baby. The baby is well protected inside of the mother.

It's usually completely safe. In some high-risk pregnancies a doc will recommend against it as it can sometimes kick-start labor. It will only do this if you are actually ready to go into labor though. Your baby is protected by the uterus...a very strong muscle that surrounds the baby.

Sex during pregnancy is actually recommended. Especially for vaginal deliveries. It keeps the muscles in shape for the pushing. Women don't realize how protected the fetus is inside the membrane that surrounds its. It actually takes quite a bit of force to penetrate it. I'm sure as long as the woman isn't doing porn stunts and not doing somenone that's too endowed, then everything is fine.
Also, during pregnancy a woman's libido is more active which means she possibly wants intercourse more often. Her vagina will often stay moist.

There is no harm/risks to the fetus during intercourse whatsoever. It can however initiate labor/delivery in the last month or so. Knock yourself out though, the baby will never be harmed or put at risk!

Unless you have cervical issues (which you'd from your regular GYNO visits) or your carrying twins (after the second trimester), or you have a high risk of miscarry (something you know beforehand also) sex is safe and good for all three of you.
There is no risk.

it cannot harm the baby in any way. it is perfectly fine, normal, and healthy to have sex while pregnant. only if a doctor tells you to refrain for some complication you are experiencing is it not ok.

as long as your pregnancy is normal u can have sex until you give birth. During your pregnancy, your cervix becomes softer so if he bumps your cervix during sex, there can be some spotting afterwards. But, as long as your not bleeding heavily, you're fine!
