Joy of Sex During Pregnancy

By Poonam Sharma

Women are different as some may be more inclined to have sex during pregnancy while others will not. Though, women often report that they enjoy sex and achieve orgasm much more easily in pregnancy.

When you are making out do keep certain consideration in mind, like bulging stomach or the increased sensitivity of the breasts. Try different positions and opt for the one which is comfortable for both partners. Woman on top positions or side-lying may be more comfortable as pregnancy advances.

Some people are bound with age long myth of hurting baby during inside which is absurd, you cannot hurt baby as it is protected by the water bag and water around it. The water will act as a shock absorber to protect the baby from accidental blow or jerks. Do avoid intercourse if the amniotic fluid is leaking, has ruptured, or if there is a suspicion that it may be leaking.

Make sure you and your partner keep the lines of communication open regarding your sexual relationship. Talk about other ways to satisfy your need for intimacy, such as kissing, caressing, and holding each other.

Stress during pregnancy should be avoided, both partners need to relax. The best way to keep tension away is massaging and stroking. Do it each other in turns and see yourself the magic of touch.
