So my boyfriend and I are going on a bit of a vacation together. Obviously sex is probably going to come up.
I'm almost six weeks and besides some cramping I've had no problems or anything. So I'm assuming sex is fine?
Also, should he be wearing a condom to prevent infection?
 
no need for condom, your mucus plug should prevent anything from passing through and yes sex is most likely safe. you should use condoms towards the end of your pregnancy though, as semen can soften the cervix and bring on pre-term labor
 
Sex is fine during pregnancy unless your doctor advises you otherwise. And no, he doesn't need to wear a condom. Mucus builds up in your cervix during pregnancy which keeps it sealed shut.
 
Sex is completely safe while pregnant even if you are only 6 weeks (if your doctor hasn't said otherwise as far as your health or history) Cramping is defiantly normal as well. As far as the condom goes as long as your in a manogomus relationship with the father, i wouldn't see a reason to use it, however that might be a matter of opinion, and thats mine lol. As long as he is "clean" nothing can hurt the baby. Have all the sex your little heart desires....as it might come farther and fewer when baby comes haha!!! good luck and hope I helped.
 
If you're having a normal pregnancy, sex is considered safe during all stages of the pregnancy.

So what's a "normal pregnancy"? It's one that's considered low-risk for complications such as miscarriage or pre-term labor. Talk to your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider if you're uncertain about whether you fall into this category. (The next section of this article may help, too.)

Of course, just because sex is safe during pregnancy doesn't mean you'll necessarily want to have it! Many expectant mothers find that their desire for sex fluctuates during certain stages in the pregnancy. Also, many women find that sex becomes uncomfortable as their bodies get larger.

You and your partner need to keep the lines of communication open regarding your sexual relationship. Talk about other ways to satisfy your need for intimacy, such as kissing, caressing, and holding each other. You also may need to experiment with other positions for sex to find those that are the most comfortable.

Many women find that they lose their desire and motivation for sex late in the pregnancy - not only because of their size but also because they're preoccupied with the impending delivery and the excitement of becoming a new parent.
