Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there will be decreased secretions in the vagina leading to less lubrication during the intercourse during pregnancy.So it might be the cause of soreness.If the itching is associated with white curry discharge then it suggests fungal infection and you might need treatment for this.Otherwise nothing to worry.Decreased sexual interest is also common in a few people in pregnancy.
