Question : My husband and I both experienced burning during intercourse tonight why is that? For me it was severe burning and discomfort and for him he said it was pleasurable but he did feel burning as well. Also, I'm 5 months pregnant I don't know if that helps. Thank you.

It appears to be due to infection in vagina or dryness. You need to get a vaginal swab culture, urine complete tests done.It has no relation with pregnancy
