Sex during pregnancy!

This is my first pregnancy. I'm extremely scared to have sex. I've heard stories about losing your baby due to having sex. But, I was wondering when is a good time to start having sex. I'm 18 weeks?

My husband and I never stopped! We only are taking a week of now because I got a yeast infection and the cream is bad if he got it on him. So unless you have something like that or your Dr specifically said No, sex is safe in pregnancy

Sex during pregnancy is good for you. Unless your doctor puts you on pelvic rest, you are fine.

Those stories are complete bull crap. The only time sex is deemed unsafe is if you are at risk for preterm labor because sperm helps thin out the cervix at the END of pregnancy. You can have as much sex as you want you just have to find comfortable positions. Don't listen to such stupid stuff.

Anytime! As long as you're comfortable

Having sex while pregnant I'd perfectly safe as long as you don't have an actual reason not to.  Just try positions that are comfortable,  and try not to have too deep penetration,  just because that can be uncomfortable.
