I'm wondering if it's safe to have sex while my wife is 18 weeks pregnant. Some of my friends say its fine, but I want to make sure. Can you let me know if there are any risks or things we should be careful about at this stage?

I'm almost six months pregnant but I'm still not feeling any baby movement and I'm kind of worried.

I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?
