Sexual intercourse and pregnancy sex They probably can't be the same as before. We must avoid some positions that we used to practice normally. And is that at no time should the pregnant woman suffer pressure, pain or discomfort during sex and also at the end of pregnancy you can lose flexibility due to its new curves.
At this time, dialogue and understanding between the couple are essential: communicating openly will reach an agreement to agree on the best way to manage pleasant sexual relations. In addition, we must take into account changes in the way of living sexuality during each stage of pregnancy.
The best positions to practice sex in pregnancy
The most advisable positions are the that do not produce abdominal pressure on the future mother. Try to be comfortable at all times, for which you can use cushions or pillows for support. These are the most recommended positions To have sex without harm to the pregnant woman or the baby:
- Sideways: both lying on their side with the woman's back attached to the man's chest. This posture is usually marked as the best during pregnancy, since it prevents pressure on the woman's abdomen and breasts.
- The same position along, but facing, forming a certain angle between the torsos so as not to tighten the woman's belly, although in this case the penetration is shallow.
- The woman sitting on the man (This will remain lying down, sitting or lying down), which will allow her greater control over movements, rhythm and penetration.
- The woman can be placed with arms and knees supported ("cat") and the man behind, kneeling or standing if she sits on the edge of an elevated place (bed, sofa ...). In this way there is no pressure and the belly does not weigh.
- The woman lying on her side with her legs bent in L and the man resting on her knees penetrating from behind.
- He coitus standing, with the woman straight or leaning forward, with good support, and the man behind controlling the penetration could also work.
- The missionary position It is not recommended once the pregnancy is advanced, as the woman should not rest on her back for too long or bear the weight of her partner on the belly. If the couple sits on top, they will have to hold their own weight with their hands so as not to press the mother's belly.
Finally, remember that if for some reason the doctor advises against having sex with penetration, you should consult the possibility of maintaining other intimate relationships.
