    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:
    It's generally safe to have sex while pregnant, but there are uncommon cases in which you shouldn't have sex. Your doctor will guide you. She may recommend that you refrain from having sex if you're at risk of preterm labor, you're leaking amniotic fluid, your cervix begins to open prematurely, or you have placenta previa.
