A member asked:

Sex in the first trimester, is it okay? i'm 3 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend and i are worried it can cause a miscarriage . ? is that possible? :/

Sex, miscarriage: No, sex will not cause a miscarriage. As long as you are not bleeding and do not have a vaginal infection having sex in early pregnancy should be just fine.

You will be fine: Sex doesn't cause a miscarriage. If there is bleeding then see your ob/gyn.
