Yes: Generally, if you are not experiencing vaginal bleeding or cramping it is safe to have sexual intercourse in the first trimester. Other types of sexual activity are permissible, but avoid having air blown into the vagina during oral sex, as this can lead to the potentially fatal complication of air embolism.

Yes: In the absence of complications such as abnormal bleeding, sex is safe and healthy. If there are complications, discuss restrictions with your physician.
