What Every Women Should Know About s*x During Pregnancy

ADVERT POST MIDDLE

s*x should be enjoyed by couples. In fact, there is no reason for them to stop s*x even when the woman is pregnant since pregnancy is no sickness. A woman with normal pregnancy may continue to have s*x until she goes into labour.

The fear that the fetus (baby) might get hurt during love making should be totally erased, because the amniotic  sac which holds the baby  and the strong muscles of a pregnant  woman  protect the baby, while the thick mucous plug which seals the cervix helps guard against infection.

Though sometimes, climax, bosom stimulation and the prostaglandins in semen could lead to mild uterine contractions; these are generally temporary and harmless.

There are some circumstances, in which the woman is advised to modify or abstain from s*x altogether for part or all through pregnancy. The midwife or doctor would let the woman know if there are complications that could make s*x a no-go-area. This is why it is good for a pregnant woman to ask questions and know if all is well with her.

Here are some facts pregnant women should know about s*x in pregnancy!

Is s*x different during pregnancy?

s*x does feel different for women during pregnancy. Some find it more pleasurable; others may generally find it less so, for part or all of the pregnancy. The reasons are not far-fetched:

Increased blood flow to the pelvic area can cause engorgement of the private part area, creating a heightened sensation which may add to pleasure a woman derives during s*x. Some women may have more vaginal discharge or moistness, which could also be a plus for them, as that stimulates them sexually.

A pregnant woman’s  br**sts may feel tingly, tender and unusually sensitive to touch, particularly in her first trimester. The tenderness generally subsides, but her br**sts may remain more sensitive. For such women, that becomes a turn-on, while for others,  they may even prefer that their br**sts not be touched at all.

Communication is essential here. It is advisable as the pregnant one to let your partner know if anything feels uncomfortable, even if it’s something you’re used to doing together before.
