Getting busy with a baby bump
Is pregnant sex safe?
Don’t let the old wives tales scare you. Your baby will not get a “penis concussion” or any other nonsense while you and your partner have intercourse. Sex during pregnancy is perfectly safe unless you have been told otherwise by your obstetrician. In fact, your baby may enjoy the rocking motion so much, he’ll nod off to sleep.
Hot and bothered
Feeling a little hot and bothered? Fear not. That’s completely normal. While you may be turned off from sex during your first trimester due to exhaustion and nausea, hormonal spikes in your second and third trimesters may make you feel more aroused than ever. Not to mention, heightened senses and increased blood flow to your ladyparts can give you some of the most powerful orgasms of your life. Some women even report experiencing multiple orgasms during pregnancy. Yowza!
Let’s get it on
Getting busy with a baby bump can take a little extra creativity, but that’s all part of the fun! Some of your favorite positions may be uncomfortable or even impossible with Peanut in the way. Now’s the time to do some experimenting — which is always a good thing for a sizzlin’ sex life.
Communication is everything
As with everything else in marriage, communication is essential to a healthy sexual relationship during pregnancy. You may not always feel like a sex goddess, but your husband probably finds your voluptuous figure more erotic than ever. Talk about your feelings. Discuss any insecurities you might have. Share what gets you hot and what doesn’t. Take the time to explore your changing body together and cherish these moments of sensual wonder.
