sex?

Is anyone else a little scared to have sex right now? I'm 6 weeks and 4 days due Aug 3rd. I had a miscarriage back in Feb at 5 weeks. The day I started miscarrying we had sex the night before, I know it was just a qawinkidink but it still worries me to have sex right now. We've done it once this time and it left me feeling really swollen so I tend to make excuses lol. Do y'all think this is normal or should I just suck it up before he gets crazy? Haha

Is there a risk of miscarriage?

For many couples, sex during early pregnancy also bring up concerns about miscarriage, especially if the woman has had a miscarriage in the past. It is now recognised that penetrative sex during early pregnancy does not cause miscarriage, and if a miscarriage is going to occur, it will do so whether the couple have sex beforehand or not

I've been terrified to have sex this early in the pregnancy plus I just don't feel like it. I suck it up as much as I can and just tell him to be gentle (it isn't the same when your thinking so much about the baby) but I haven't had any cramping or bleeding. If you do I suggest just being careful and not too crazy.

I had sex last night for the first time since finding out i was pregnant 2 weeks ago. Im almost 7 weeks. I thought i was going to die after sex. It was so painful more than usual, but today i was fine. Some drs say sex is great when you are pregnant but others dont think its the greatest idea.
