You don’t need to avoid sex during pregnancy. If you do it safely, you can avoid complications. Men think that pregnant women feel less sexual desire and avoid having sex with the pregnant wives. But it is an irony to say that sex is important during pregnancy too.

Sex during pregnancy is safe provided you adopt safe positions that does not put pressure on the growing fetus. You need to adopt positions from where you can control your movements during sex.

Here are some good positions to adopt if you want to have sex during pregnancy.

Woman on top of man

Make sure your husband agrees to this! If you were overweight already before pregnancy you can avoid it. But if you are of a manageable weight, you can bet this is safest and most pleasurable of positions.

Lie on your back and bend your knees

This is another safe position. You lie on your back, and bend your knees towards your chest. Don’t put your legs down. Keep it to your chest. During sex, the movement of your body will be absorbed by your bent knees, and this will not affect your stomach.

Sideways

Lie sideways. Your partner should face your back.

Doggy style

This is a favorite erotic position. You and your partner adopt a sexual position that dogs do when having sex. You need to be on all fours. Get a pillow to support your abdomen and chest. Your partner should penetrate you from the rear. This is an exciting position, and is highly-recommended in any stage of pregnancy.
