During pregnancy, the fear of harming the baby with the penetration is one of the main myths that affect the sexual life; however, when there are medical obstacles to sustain intimate encounters, they may occur, as well as producing pleasure and security to the mom, to prepare you for childbirth. So take note of the following recommendations to continue enjoying sex in this period.


Before going in search of pleasure...Most of the time sex during pregnancy is certain, however, it is essential to consult a gynecologist if:
* There is a history of abortion.
* There multiple pregnancy.
* Abnormalities were detected in the placenta.
* There may be premature.
* There is vaginal bleeding (in this case requires urgent medical attention).

The health professional will determine how useful is to hold intimate encounters. In this regard, it should be noted that prenatal care ensures the health of the baby and the mother.


1. Know your body. "Due to hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, sexual relations in this period are usually more enjoyable when there is no pregnancy"

If this view will surprise you, know that between the physical changes that contribute to greater enjoyment in intercourse is included abundant flow of blood to the genital area, which allows the vulva to widen more than usual and, therefore, that increase the feeling of pleasure.

2. Enjoy the sex itself. Some couples postpone parenthood, pregnancy and others are looking for a long time, but in both cases the sex is valued for their reproductive function. However, now that you and your partner expect baby are ready to enjoy sex for itself, which can provoke feelings, so relax and "let yourself go."

3. Find an ally. For many women, being pregnant means being less attractive, however, should know that although your body does not look like before they can be subjected to sexual desire, because many men are attracted to pregnant women, either by their voluptuous forms or because they seek to demonstrate their affection for the woman who will give a child. So to "keep the flame burning", look in the mirror as an ally that reflects how beautiful and sexy you are.

4. Say what you feel. Female sexuality may seem disconcerting during pregnancy, however, frequent nausea and breast pain in early pregnancy to justify the reduction of sexual desire. It is therefore important that you speak of these changes with your partner and understand that the situation will improve when the pains begin to yield.

5. Forget the myths. The penetration poses no risk to the small, because the uterus is sealed by a mucus plug (mucus) that occupies the cervical canal and keeps it safe, the amniotic fluid also absorbs impacts that could be exposed, so you receive only mild pelvic contractions characteristic of orgasm (to feel more secure about it, listen to expert opinion).


6. Take care positions. Now that your body is changing, notice that it is necessary to modify the positions in which you used to have sex. Each couple will find one that is most comfortable and adapted according to the stages of pregnancy. The important thing is to use imagination and ensure that no undue pressure on the belly. In this regard, it should be mentioned that the penetration depth or violent is not recommended, as this may cause you pain.

To make this experience more enjoyable, you can use pillows to provide support and comfort during first trimester

7. Create the right environment to have romantic encounters. Remember that sexual desire is borne in mind; prepare dinner for two, seductive details like candles and daring notes. Imagination is your limit for pleasure, there must be no penetration, and you can achieve your sexual satisfaction through games and caresses.

In short, there is no fear of sex during this time, as the orgasm can help the process of delivery. In fact, when the birth is delayed, often couples have sex to induce, because semen contains prostaglandin, a chemical messenger that helps soften and dilate the cervix in preparation for labor, in addition, stimulation of nipples may also promote the release of oxytocin, a hormone that causes contractions.
