You can have sex while pregnant. In fact, it is good for pregnant women to have sex during pregnancy.
It is a matter of ensuring that the woman is comfortable with it

A pregnant woman can have sex. Sex does not harm the baby in any way. The amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus protect the baby and the thick mucus plug that seals the cervix helps guard against infection.
Sex in pregnancy has several benefits:
1. Lowers blood pressure,which is a good thing since high blood pressure is linked to the pregnancy complication preeclampsia
2. Reduces pain: Orgasm releases oxytocin, the “love hormone” which one study found to increase pain tolerance by 74%
3. Improves sleep:
-For moms: Sex is relaxing — so it helps you sleep better.
-For babies: The rocking motion of a sex session often lulls baby to sleep.
4. Boosts immunity: A study found that sex boosts levels of IgA, an antibody that helps avoid colds and other infections.
5. Boosts happiness: Orgasm releases endorphins — which make both you and baby happier and more relaxed.
6. Increases intimacy: Thank oxytocin again — it’s been linked to romantic attachment.
7. Speeds up postpartum recovery: Orgasms during pregnancy prepare the pelvic floor for childbirth, which in turn speeds postpartum recovery.
