Getting pregnant from anal
I've heard different things, that you can't get pregnant from anal sex, and the people that say there's a chance it could some how move down. So which

Lots of lube and go VERY SLOW! It shouldn't hurt AT ALL.

Lots and lots of lube. Then, when you think you have enough, apply more! Start with a finger, then 2. Then, if things still feel good, a slightly larger anal safe toy and maybe more lube. Eventually, a toy nearly the size of your husband, then him.

It can take a LONG time (days, weeks, or months before being able to take his penis) for some.

For us, it was all about me being in control and me being able to completely relax. Just go REALLY, REALLY slow. If it hurts, STOP! It should not hurt.

For some people a drink (or a couple) or cannabis (I'm just saying), can help you relax. Having anxiety will only make you clench up... This will be the death of your anal sex life. Have a private, quite environment with locked doors and closed windows. Have a bowel movement and a shower first. As redboxbaby and others say, work up to his diameter, and use lots of lube. He should take short strokes slowly, once in. Also shave back there, you don't want a hair to be grabbed and pulled in, that could hurt. Good luck!

Thanks for all the great advice! What is a good beginner anal toy to use?

Start with fingers, plan on working up to it over a month or more. Learn to relax your anus and trust yourself (that there won't be a mess if you relax) and your partner (provided he's trustworthy, and if not then don't go there with him until he is), and also learn to enjoy the sensations. Make sure to do some genital stimulation as well, both before and during but not at insertion (it often makes people clench up).

When I first did it, I was excited to try, so it didn't hurt in the slightest. You just need that mentality. If you think it's going to hurt, it probably will. If you think you'll fail, you will. Just know that it won't hurt if you're slow and gentle and well lubed, and it won't.

And under NO circumstances should you use any sort of numbing lube. Ever! Pain means something is wrong, and stopping the pain artificially can lead to a lot of damage!
