Making love during pregnancy is possible
It is perfectly possible to make love during the nine months of pregnancy, without any danger. Indeed, the penis does not enter the uterus where the baby is housed, but behind it. In addition, the semen is not harmful to him. No concern therefore to injure or traumatize the fetus which is well protected, knowing that, moreover, sexuality participates in the general development of the couple … However, in certain cases of difficult pregnancy (in particular of risk of childbirth premature), the doctor may advise against sex. It is then necessary to be satisfied with caresses without penetration. But as long as it doesn’t tell you anything, it’s allowed and even recommended, as long as you both feel like it! Even in the third trimester, having pleasure and having an orgasm will not trigger an unexpected childbirth, because uterine contractions associated with enjoyment are commonplace and without adverse consequences. As for sex “advised” when baby is late in arriving, they could be explained by the fact that male sperm contains prostaglandins which could promote contractions. However, no serious study has actually proven this effect. So if in doubt … you might as well take the opportunity to have fun!
Pregnant do we more or less want to make love?
Here again there is no standard, and each woman is different: some want it all the time, and others not at all! The desire of the pregnant woman will evolve according to the way she manages and lives her pregnancy, the physical changes it causes, the desire of her partner, her state of fatigue, anxiety … The first three months of pregnancy are sometimes difficult to live with (even if this is not systematic): nausea, painful chest, as if congested, and hypersensitive, upside-down and irrepressible emotions, the urges to sleep do not necessarily lead to furious desires to somersaults and sometimes muted sexuality. As for the last three months, they are sometimes more devoted psychically to the arrival of the baby, and the woman, all in her immediate motherhood, can just think of something else and temporarily disinvest in sexuality, especially as her belly, which becomes prominent, can be annoying and cumbersome, in particular limiting the range of positions. On the other hand, the three intervening months (4th, 5th and 6th months) are much more pleasant to live. Sexuality is then generally radiant, even torrid in some couples. Her body is not yet too heavy, the woman often feels quite desirable and sexy, endowed with a generous breast, and her hormones, completely turned upside down, can then trigger real sexual urges which it would be a shame not to take advantage of!
Does pleasure change during pregnancy?
One in five women say they have discoveredOrgasm… during her pregnancy! The hormones being upset, the sensations are often more important, and the desire can experience intense peaks. What better aphrodisiac than this brutal excitement which can push the wisest to the “almost rape” of her companion barely returned from work? The pleasure will then, inevitably, be there! Second, a lot of women feel very desirable. Their companion is very virilized at the idea of being a father, which can again turn out to be a good cocktail, because the excitement is intensely cerebral! On a physical level, the blood flows in all the female genitals, which increases the sensations of the lips and the clitoris, and in the small pelvis which is seen better vascularized. The vaginal secretions are more important, which can facilitate the reports, but it is not systematic (one can on the contrary, note a vaginal dryness). The chest is more voluptuous, more sensitive … Everything therefore contributes to the pleasure!
Can pregnancy make a man’s desire drop?
Some of them have the greatest difficulty imagining their partner in her new role of mother, she who was previously only a lover. They are sometimes, bewildered and panicked by this new unknown body, with all that is happening magical and that escapes them completely (or almost). The female body and its transformations – it is true sometimes quite spectacular – leave some of them indifferent. But others become fearful: they are afraid of hurting the unborn baby if they dare to let go sexually. In some cases, pregnancy inspires them to step back, even to disgust. Becoming a father and taking on this new role doesn’t happen overnight for them either! This relational change in relation to their partner’s body is not an isolated case, since half of couples end up stopping all sexual activity during the pregnancy. The ideal is to talk about it frankly. And above all, if sexuality is put on hold until birth, to continue relationships of proximity and sensuality (tenderness, hugs, kisses and other caresses, even without penetration). These gestures which make a woman always feel desired and desirable and which contribute to the well-being, to the balance of each of the two partners, and of the couple.
4 positions suitable for pregnancy
The teaspoon: the woman is lying on her side, and the man fits behind her. Advantages: it can stimulate her clitoris and caress her often more voluptuous breasts. It’s both comfortable and soft, and the penetration isn’t too deep.
The lightened missionary: This is the most classic position even outside pregnancy, but in order not to weigh on the stomach of his partner, the man leans on his elbows. However, in the third trimester, some women find it difficult to stay on their back …
The Andromache: the woman sits astride her companion lying on his back. This allows not to pinch the stomach while leaving the woman the pleasure of controlling the situation, and coming and going at her own pace.
The doggy style: the woman is on all fours, and the man behind her. This “animal” position is comfortable for both partners even at an advanced stage of pregnancy, especially if the woman places a cushion under her belly. However, as the penetration of the penis is deep, it should be done gently so as not to cause pain.
