Pregnancy is a separate period, we no longer live sex in the same way.

Pregnant women ask themselves a lot of questions and often wonder if they can maintain a sex life: the answer is yes! Talk about it with your gynecologist or midwife. Unless you contraindicate him, you can Make love and get your foot during pregnancywithout worry! Information and advice to take full advantage of it.
Does sperm promote childbirth?
Sperm can promote childbirth because it contains a low concentration of prostaglandin, likely to trigger contractions. The chemical (prostaglandin) and mechanical (penetration) effect is not negligible in the event of a threat of premature delivery (because the collar is modified), or when the placenta is Praevia (that is to say too low in the uterus). Women who have already made false layers or have had a lot of contractions during the first trimester must imperatively discuss with their doctor. Making love can in these specific cases be notified. From the moment the doctor does not oppose it, there is no problem.
Listen to his libido for more pleasure
During pregnancy, libido can make waves, even if not all women cross the same. If we had to establish a calendar, there is generally a drop in sexual desire the first twelve weeks (because of nausea, fatigue, emotional variations … but also apprehension to make love). Between the 12e week and 32e Week, sexual desire tends to increase! Then, from 32e at the 36ea small fall can be felt as approaching childbirth approaches. “”Whether your libido is at its peak or discreet, whether it wakes up at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of pregnancy, do not bother: each body lives in its own way! I recommend pregnant women to listen to their desires. And if making love becomes technically complicated, opting for preliminaries or small games without penetration is also very exciting“, advises Alexandra Hubin, sexologist. In short, no need to brake if you feel a Want to make love. Do not feel guilty on days or weeks “without”, either if the desire is there, but you do not dare.
Ideal sex positions for pregnant women
“”It is up to each woman to feel, depending on the position and the moment, if she is comfortable or not with her body. The main thing is to explore your pleasure while respecting your limits“, insists the sexologist before sharing with us positions to favor during pregnancy For maximum sensations and comfort:
- The spoon : This position, synonymous with complicity, is ideal throughout pregnancy, especially in the last months.
- The missionary : Your man is on you, arms in support so as not to “crush” you. Generally, the position of the missionary is accessible up to 5e months of pregnancy.
- Andromache: You about him, it’s very good too. You can put your hands on its thighs in order to be as straight as possible and therefore comfortable with your belly. This position also allows you to be a mistress of the situation. You can choose the rhythm and manage the depth of penetration. As a variant, you can practice the position of the rider, which could be described as an inverted Andromache: you do not look towards your man, but you are back to him.
- The doggystyle : A position that works very well if you don’t have back or breast badly. Putting a pillow under the belly can also help you gain in comfort.
Rest assured (and reassure your man!)
As well as well as it may be, there is no risk for your man to touch baby and hurt him! We could laugh about it, but it’s a frequent and classic concern. Women too fear that too brutal penetration is not adequate … Baby fears nothing, on the contrary, he is delighted. Endorphin released during sex does him a lot of good. “”However, if you still apprehend a report, do not force anything. Pregnancy is also an opportunity to experiment with new practices, to enjoy long preliminary without penetration, to grant or receive massages“, Says Alexandra Hubin. We can therefore reinvent herself and perceive this period as a new page of our sexuality.
Masturbate
You can also practice autoeroticism … and it feels good. Only precaution: Avoid sextoys. We do not know the real effects of vibrations on the fetus. The hand remains a safe bet to do good!
