Love Making During Pregnancy



Sarah has been complaining to me that ever since she entered her 3rd trimester she has become more...ummm h.o.r.n.y but her husband refuse to have s.e.x with her until the baby is born. Feeling all frustrated she e-mailed me this piece of information that she found on the net. I'm not too sure how this piece of information will benefit me, but I though I'll post it on this blog just in case you might need the info ;)

If you're pregnant, or just found out you were, you're probably wondering what the best pregnant s.e.x positions are. Because your body doesn't change that much in the first trimester, s.e.x can pretty much continue as it has in the past so there really isn't a need to be concerned about pregnant positions for s.e.x. Later, however, as the uterus grows, some natural positions may become more difficult to perform and will require you to choose better s.e.x positions while pregnant. S.e.x expert Pepper Schwartz, PhD, offers these suggestions on the best pregnant s.e.x positions:

Spoon: The spoon position can be very cozy and intimate. In this case you should lie on your side curled in a C, with your partner facing your back and curled around you. He then enters your v@gina from behind while both of you are lying on your sides.

Side by side: Another good choice for late pregnancy, this position will control thrust and keep weight off your belly. You and your husband lie side by side, facing each other. He slips his leg over yours (your leg can be either straight and to the side or bent at the knee) and enters you from an angle. In a variation of this, you lie on your back and he on his side. Put your leg that's closest to him over his legs. He can enter you from the back and side, and still have his face next to yours.

Woman on top: This can be a satisfying position during late pregnancy, allowing you to control pacing and be more comfortable. Make sure, however, that he doesn't enter you too deeply.

Edge of the bed: Try lying down face-up on the edge of the bed, with your legs spread and the soles of your feet on the floor. Your partner can stand or bend over you. This position, however, does allow him to thrust more deeply, so you'll have to tell him how gentle and slow you want him to be.
