Sex in pregnancy is only an advanage when you want to ge labour going, the prostaglandins in the semen helps to soften the cervix.
If you have misscarried many times before, then I would say stay away from penetrative sex until you clear it with your doctor.
If she doesnt want sex, leave her alone, shes proberly tired and feeling really bloated and unsexy.
Theres nothing nice about trying to have sex with a woman who doesnt want it! If you keep pusing it you will find yoursel sleeping on the couch.

Wait, you got pregnant one and a half months AGO, or will she be giving birth one and a half months from now??
If it's the former, then she might be feeling really sick and nauseous. Just wait until that passes, which in most women it will. When a woman first gets pregnant, sometimes the hormones go completely haywire. Just be patient, and she'll come around.
If it's the latter, she might be feeling humongous, in which case her body image might be dampening her desire because of what she might think your reaction could be. In that case, let her know that you find her beautiful, and give her lots of attention and love.
If she says she's afraid of losing the pregnancy, actually sex helps with it. Having an orgasm releases hormones which will relax the mom and lower stress.
For me, the book Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy was a massive lifesaver. I read the other stuff, the "What to expect" series, and it scared the crap out of me. Heh.
Above all, just be patient. Like others have said, be creative about what gives the two of you sexual pleasure. Remember, she won't be able to have sex for six weeks following childbirth. Best get creative now.

It is actually healthier to have sex regularly when pregnant. if you don't have sex at all, she will have a much more difficult labour, as well. Sex in pregnancy is one of the best things about pregnancy. Don't be scared. It is fine. Totally natural.

Unless she is having complications or has had a miscarrage in the past, sex is safe right up until she delivers.Not only is it safe but can have certain benifits as well.You just have to try other positions that keep your weight off of her belly.

You can have sex but just be gentle with her, or oral sex may be the answer.

Hiya,
don't worry it's normal for a pregnant woman to stop wanting sex if she's pregnant. You could do oral and she could give you a hand job.
Hope this helps.
