Can you let me know if it's safe to have sex with my wife during pregnancy without using a condom? And is there a point when we should stop having sex to protect the baby? Any risks we should be aware of?

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.
The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring

I'm curious about whether it's safe for my husband to suck my nipples as much as he does. We've been doing this for years where he enjoys doing it for about 40 minutes every other night, followed by clitoral stimulation and then sex. I came across some information suggesting this might not be safe, and it's got me a bit worried. Can you shed some light on this?
Nipple sucking is generally safe as long as there are no infections, open sores, or excessive force that could cause discomfort or injury. If you experience any pain, irritation, or unusual symptoms, its best to consult a doctor for guidance. Otherwise, it's a normal part of intimacy for many couples.
