You can always rest assured that intercourse during the 1st Trimester cannot cause any difficulties for the baby. This is because your baby is housed in the amniotic fluid that protects it well. The cervix remains closed and also have a mucus plug making it inaccessible. Moreover, your partner can never penetrate so deep as to reach the baby. Sex can trigger contractions in the uterus, but they are different from labour and thus there are no worries.

It is safe to make love in the 1st trimester yet most women face some changes in their physical relationships. But for most women, sex feels more pleasurable than before due to the rise in the blood flow in the pelvic region. It also causes an engorgement in the female genitals which in turn takes you to the peak of sensation. If you feel sex to be uncomfortable, you should consult with your gynecologist on this matter rather than ignoring it.
