It is completely safe to be having sex at 8 wks. In fact most women have sex for just a darn bout the entire pregnancy. But that is only if there are no problems happening. But as long as you feel ok go for it! Enjoy it while you can as much as you want cuz once the baby comes there will be no sex for at least a month & a half!
The question is legit even as silly as it may sound. Many people to believe that sex can harm the baby until they are told that it's ok and safe. Yes you can have sex up and during labour even, as long as your water as not broke, and that you are comfortable. And it's so true after delivery there will be no sex for the first 4 weeks as least. As your doctor may even tell you that too.
Everyones situation is different but unless your doctor or whatever told you other wise due to your own personal pregnancy then it is perfectly safe. My 1st pregnancy i was like a crazed animal I couldn't get enough, as you get further along though you may have to try different positions that are more comfortable or work better with a big belly. My husband and I had sex the night before our son was born. Our labor preparation teacher told us that, as you may have heard, male semen is the natural "induction medicine." it seemed to work i went to the Dr. the next day and that evening i was at the hospital giving birth! I am 39 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child right now and you better believe we have been doing it up a storm..lol..but still no baby yet so it is not always a true indicator that it will induce labor, but I find there is no harm having sex throughout the pregnancy! (unless you have pain, discomfort, or bleeding then talk to your Dr.)
My doctor says 6 weeks but some doctors are between 3-6 weeks for recovery and no sex after, along with no driving. But I know people who felt healed enough to have sex within the 1st weeks after having their baby, so even though the doctor will tell you a guidline its not always exactly 6 weeks. With my 1st son for me it was more like 8 weeks plus for me! i was still to sore to even think about having sex, but every person and every doctor is different!
it could be too early to tell too. It's possible you are having a very small period too.
