Brief Answer:
normal in pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM Forum. Thanks for writing in to us with your health query. I have gone through your query and understand tour concerns completely . It is quite common to have back and abdominal pain in pregnancy. It is due to the placental attachment in the uterus. Yes you can have intercouse during pregnancy . take care not to lie on stomach. Do intercouse in a gentle way . if tour wife complains for pain in the vafina or the abdomen during intercouse then don't continue . Regards Dr Manisha Jain. OBGY Specialist.
