How to have sex during pregnancy?

The basic rule of intimate relations in anticipation of the baby is patience and mutual attention of the spouses. Partners will have to be more inventive, increasing the time of love foreplay. A woman, relying on her feelings, should play a leading role in the selection of optimal sexual positions (especially in the case of late gestation).

In the first months you should prefer caresses that satisfy a man, but do not bring a woman to orgasm, so as not to burden the uterus with excessive blood loss and contractile activity. For the wife during this period oral sex can be shown, observing all rules of hygiene of the oral cavity.

Joint joyful expectation of the baby, attention to the physical and mental needs of your half, a little sexual fantasy will make this time an unforgettable holiday of harmony and love.

A few recommendations on how to have sex during pregnancy: 

• from the man expected tenderness, patience and attention; 
• provided there is no threat of miscarriage, the spouse prepares the breast for the period of feeding, stimulating the nipples; 
• during intercourse, one should not exert pressure on the woman's stomach / breast; 
• sex during pregnancy does not tolerate haste, but involves experiments (within reason); 
• it will be appropriate to use pillows, various supports, etc .; 
• Do not get hung up on the joint achievement of orgasm; 
• do not use vibrators, dildos and other intimate toys (except for stimulants of the clitoris zone); 
• in the usual days of menstruation, it is better to refrain from physical love, since in this period spontaneous termination of pregnancy is possible.

When a woman does not even think of intimacy, but a man is very thirsty for physical love, it is better to resort to alternative ways of enjoyment. This includes "coitus intra femora" - the achievement of orgasm by a man between closed femoral hips and "cotus intra mammae" - the achievement of orgasm between the female breast.

Sex Positions During Pregnancy

Intimate positions for women in position should be comfortable and safe, excluding pressure on the abdomen and chest area. For example, the pose with the position of the man from above changes one important detail - the husband leans on the straightened arms to avoid contact with the growing tummy.

The position "woman on top" is optimal, because a woman sitting can independently vary the depth of penetration of the penis and her feelings, and the male knees and hips can serve as a woman's support. And the woman can be turned to the man face or back.

Poses for sex during pregnancy should not bring a future mother uncomfortable sensations. When the stomach significantly increases in size, it is appropriate to use a large number of pillows, various supports (back of a chair or sofa). The position lying on its side, when the partners face each other, removes the load from the abdomen and uterus. The position on the side, when the woman is facing back to the man, allows the partner to partially support the weight of the partner.

In the case of intimate proximity on the knees, just softening the pressure on the stomach cushions. A woman can focus on straight / half-bent hands, so that the stomach does not touch the bed.

The position of the woman on her back is acceptable if a man penetrates her from the side, and the lady throws her legs at him or the woman lies on the bed with the edge, and the man kneels next to him. For more convenience, under the straightened legs of a woman, you can put an ottoman.

Oral sex during pregnancy

A substitute form of sexual life when expecting a baby is orogenital contact. Blowjob - a great way to satisfy the sexual hunger of a husband throughout pregnancy. And the ingestion of sperm does not affect women's health and fetal development.

Not all men decide on cunnilingus with a pregnant wife, as the secretion of the sexual sphere in women varies - the amount of secretions increases, and the taste and smell become quite specific. A number of medical sources do not recommend oral caresses for a pregnant woman, as this can cause embolism (ingress of air into the circulatory system) and death.

Oral sex during pregnancy requires compliance with all hygiene procedures, both from the woman (regular washing), and from the male side. The fact is that in the oral cavity there is a congestion of yeast fungi that can cause thrush (vaginal candidiasis), especially in the presence of caries. That's why it is so important for a man to thoroughly brush his teeth. Herpes is transmitted in the same way.

Cunnilingus, as a form of achieving orgasmic uterine contractions, is prohibited when a threat of pregnancy disruption occurs. In other cases, couples are happy to practice oral sex during pregnancy, without neglecting the measures of caution.

Anal during pregnancy

It is not bad that the pleasure from intimate relations in anticipation of the baby was received by both spouses. It's natural that future parents think about anal sex, as a way to achieve a joint orgasm.

However, this method has its opponents, which are more among women. Therefore, it is not necessary to persuade a negatively-minded spouse, especially to incline her to an alternative coition. Nothing good will bring it.

If a married couple and pre-pregnancy practice anal sex, then it can be a substitute for the usual sexual intercourse. So many believe, but the medical taboo on physical intimacy extends to any forms of intimate relationships that cause uterine contraction, that is, orgasm.

Most couples try anal sex during pregnancy for the first time. This is explained by the fact that it most closely resembles vaginal contact. At the time of gestation, the woman exhibits greater elasticity of tissues, and penetration becomes less uncomfortable. And finally, a woman receives a maximum of sweet sensations in view of the increased sensitivity of hemorrhoids.

It should be noted that this type of coition is recognized as the most dangerous by gynecologists. In their opinion, the risk of entering flora from the intestine into the vagina is increased, and hence the hard-to-cure colpites follow. Restructuring of the circulation of the female body often favors the growth of hemorrhoids, which are easily traumatized. As a result - bleeding and paraproctitis. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent unpleasant consequences in the form of injuries and infection using condoms, approved lubricants for pregnant women.

Unprotected sex in pregnancy

Seed fluid includes the hormone prostaglandin, which has a beneficial effect on the cervix, improving its opening in childbirth. There have been cases when a doctor recommended that a woman gently make love with her husband in order to activate labor activity. This fact is the reason for using a condom in couples, which is too early to give birth.

The mucous of the genital tract in the pregnant woman becomes friable, susceptible to trauma during intimacy, which in turn is fraught with the penetration of the infection. When the baby is born, the protective function of the vaginal flora is significantly reduced, the glycogen content (the ideal "soil" for the reproduction of microorganisms) increases secretly, menstruation stops (natural purification of the genital area), so it is highly undesirable to use unprotected sex in pregnancy.

A condom with a lubricant not only protects against a variety of health problems, but also helps to cope with a fairly common nuisance - a lack of natural lubrication from a partner.

Safe sex during pregnancy

Habitual intercourse is not always possible during pregnancy. This is associated, as a rule, with medical prohibitions and increased vulnerability of the uterus. The term vulnerability is used to characterize the excessive sensitivity of the epithelium to mechanical action. The friable surface of the cervix can bleed after sex because of her trauma. The problem is that, through the microcracks of the vagina, pathogenic microorganisms that are able to multiply and cause the inflammatory process penetrate without difficulty.

From future parents requires a lot of ingenuity to meet physical needs and preserve the health of the future mother with the child. It is important to consider not only personal desires, but exclude sexual positions with pressure on the developing in the womb of the baby. Therefore, safe sex during pregnancy is sex with sparing positions and a condom, as a guarantee of pregnancy retention and obstacles to pathogens.

Parents are also required to remember the rules of personal hygiene and timely consultation with the obstetrician-gynecologist. Of course, the concept of safety includes the absence of any infection that can be transmitted to the fetus (herpes, HIV, etc.). But this is already a matter of trust between partners.
