Position for sex while pregnant
Many people tend to prefer the missionary position for sex during pregnancy, it becomes a very difficult manoeuvre to perform
as the abdomen gets larger. So try some of these positions:
- Woman on top. This allows you to control the depth of penetration, and the majority of the movement.
You can go as fast or as slow as you'd like, while controlling the depth of the penis. This position works really well throughout
pregnancy and at the very end of pregnancy.
- Spooning. This position gets it's name from the way spoons fit together in the drawer. Usually it's best
if the man is behind allowing his penis to go between your thighs and enter you from behind. This creates no pressure on the
abdomen, and allows for a shallow penetration. Many women find this a very relaxing position for sex during pregnancy, and
it can be used throughout.
- Hands & Knees. This is a very good position for pregnant women again because of the lack of direct
pressure on the abdomen, although as your get larger your belly may actually rest on the bed. Some women find this difficult
at the very end of pregnancy, depending on how high they are able to hold their belly off the bed and still allow for penetration.
- Side lying, Lay on your side with your partner facing you, try pulling one leg up to allow room for your
partner. This can get tiring after a while, and may not be easy for the last part of pregnancy.
All of the above mentioned positions also allow for manual stimulation of the clitoris either by you or your partner. .
They also prevent the mother from laying on her back, which is not recommended after the fourth month of pregnancy. When you're
trying to think of a good position, try it, if it doesn't work stop. Creativity will be a lot of fun during pregnancy, and
it will probably carry over into your postpartum sex life as well, when creativity becomes important in a different way
Above all communicate with your partner and be respectful of their changing hormones and physical shape and most of all
don’t be offended if she does not feel sexual this will pass.
