Will My Previous Abortion Affect My Pregnancy Now?

Hi, I am 5weeks pregnant now, age 31. I had an abortion about 6yrs ago and am concerned if that will affect my pregnancy now. Also, until when is sex safe?We have a high sexdrive and we still hv intercourse 3x a day, shld this be limited? I feel some discomfort & a slight lightning-like burst of pain in my left side--symptoms that only seldom occurs after my abortion and I dismissed it in the last years as it was tolerable and immediately disappears. Advice?

hi welcome to health care magic. I understand your concern.usually we tell patients to avoid intercourse in Ist trimester of pregnancy.your case comes under high risk because you already had abortion.for the symptoms you have discussed you should take progesterone cover and better to avoid intercourse for next 7 to 8 weeks then you should get a scan done for placental localisation .if that comes out to be normal you can enjoy your sexual life.
I hope I am able to solve your query
