Does sex cause miscarriages?

Question: Can sex cause miscarriages?

Answer: In general no. Sex does not cause miscarriages. However, women, who are considered be carrying "high risk pregnancies" may need to refrain from certain types of sexual pleasure. Please consult your obstetrician.

Everyone else, time to get creative and experiment.  Being pregnant and having sex is kind of like having a new body every day because it is literally always changing. What you like on day one may be radically different than on day two.  Your body is going through incredible hormonal changes and physical changes as you grow the baby.  Having sex during pregnancy requires a tremendous amount of communication because your partner will literally have no idea where you are at. One moment you may be on the verge of throwing up, and the next moment craving touch!
