i would say wait till at least after your first tremester is over..when i was about 6 weeks 3 days me and my husband had sex and i started bleeding heavely right after he took me to the ER and i was told i was M/C it was horrible and my husband was blaming himself, they wanted to perform an emergency D&C but my OB requested an U/S before and we found a HB we were sooo releaved, after that i was told that maybe i had twins and i lost one, and my OB reccomend not to have intercourse till after the first tremester was over, now i know everyone is different some dont have problems some do, but just to be on the safe side i would wait a little...i would give up sex anytime to have a healthy living baby!
Good Luck.

Sex is fine whilst pregnant as long as you feel comftable. Some women find it too uncomftable so dont haveintercourse, its entirely up to you but no it wont harm the baby

unless your doctor has told you otherwise, sex is perfectly fine during pregnancy.  It does not harm your baby at all.  You may have a little cramping afterwards, but that is normal.  Relax and enjoy!
