Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM.Thanks for writing in to us with your health query. Yes you can have intercourse within 20 weeks but it should not be rough. Its myth that if a pregnant lady sleeps in some specific position then it can affect the sex of the baby. She should get registered now under an obstetrician for further monitoring and keeping the record of dovelopment and growth of the baby. Her EDD will be around 20th August. Regards Dr Manisha Jain.
