Dear Madam,
With bad history about the pregnancy, particularly loss of baby after intercourse, you have to take care. It is better you avoid intercourse till you complete 14 weeks of pregnancy. After that, depending upon the stability of the pregnancy, you may have sexual intercourse. However, please take care to avoid full insertion of penis. It is not the orgasm which it responsible for the abortion; if at all, it could be physical disturbance or infection. To avoid full insertion of the penis, the best positions are either sex in the side position or penile insertion from back side in side position. You may get details of safe positions for intercourse during pregnancy in an Epic named Kamsootra by Vatsyayan.
If at all with all these precautions you find any discomfort during or after the intercourse, it is better to observe sexual abstinence. Otherwise sex is not contraindicated during pregnancy.
I hope this helps you.
