"Ooh La La!" - Sex During Pregnancy
A healthy sex life is important in any relationship. Luckily, pregnancy doesn't stop you from connecting with your partner in this loving way. Below are some helpful tips on maintaining a satisfying sex life through your 9 months of pregnancy.
- Comfortable Position: Woman on Top - You'll know how your body is feeling so it's a good idea for you to control the depth of penetration during sex. You can do this by being on top during your love making.
- Comfortable Position: Spooning - Lying on your side with your partner lying behind you is a comfortable sexual position during pregnancy. There's no pressure on your abdomen and shorter penetration.
- Comfortable Position: Female on Hands and Knees - If you are on your hands and knees and your partner is behind there won't be any pressure on your abdomen, keeping you comfortable during intercourse.
- Comfortable Position: Laying on Your Side Facing Partner with your Leg Up - This eliminates pressure on your abdomen and minimizes your efforts, keeping your heart rate lower.
- Orgasms are Good for the Baby - The baby gets the same hormonal charge that the mother does.
- Uterus Contractions - Orgasms cause the uterus to contract, massaging the baby.
- Cuddle Time - It's important to cuddle with your partner after intercourse to maintain your loving bond throughout your entire pregnancy.
