Is safe to have sex in the early or even late time of pregnancy, all will depend about how many times you will make it, and the positions, if you take care and don't pratice overtimes and don't pratice acrobatic positions as well, I bet there has no restrictions about sexual life during the pregnancy. I hope you enjoy that time and happy pregnancy for you too dear. cheers

If you're having a normal pregnancy, sex is considered safe during all stages of the pregnancy. So what's a "normal pregnancy"? It's one that's considered low-risk for complications such as miscarriage or pre-term labor. Talk to your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider if you're uncertain about whether you fall into this category. Of course, just because sex is safe during pregnancy doesn't mean you'll necessarily want to have it! Many expectant mothers find that their desire for sex fluctuates during certain stages in the pregnancy. Also, many women find that sex becomes uncomfortable as their bodies get larger. You and your partner need to keep the lines of communication open regarding your sexual relationship. Talk about other ways to satisfy your need for intimacy, such as kissing, caressing, and holding each other. You also may need to experiment with other positions for sex to find those that are the most comfortable. Many women find that they lose their desire and motivation for sex late in the pregnancy - not only because of their size but also because they're preoccupied with the impending delivery and the excitement of becoming a new parent.

ya,vaginal sex is perfectly safe and won't hurt your baby at all.The foetus is well protected inside the amniotic sac and the cervix is sealed with a plug of mucus so the penis does not come into contact with the baby .you can try positions like side by side,women on top,spooning etc so that you can avoid applying pressure on belly.The increased blood flow when you have an orgasm helps to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your baby.
