The process of giving birth to a new life is full of joy, but it also brings some trouble to the couple's sexual well-being. Recently, Kinkly in the UK analyzed the difficulties faced by pregnant women in the early, middle, and late stages of pregnancy, as well as how to overcome them and enjoy better sexual life.
How to have sex during pregnancy?
Pregnant women may feel tired in the early stages of pregnancy (the first three months), and morning sickness can also affect sexual desire. In the early stages of pregnancy, we should be aware of the fact that sex not only means sexual intercourse, but also that mutual love and communication between couples can shorten the relationship with their partners.
In the second trimester of pregnancy (from the fourth to eighth month), most pregnant women enter a "comfortable" pregnancy period and their sexual desire can be restored. Female genitalia become more plump and charming, with more lubrication. These physical changes can make pregnant women more eager to have sex. However, a raised abdomen requires couples to adapt. Both parties should choose appropriate postures to avoid compressing the abdomen. Women with normal prenatal examinations will not lead to miscarriage or premature birth, but high-risk pregnant women still need to be cautious. At this stage, pregnant women should pay attention to preventing urinary tract infections during sexual intercourse.
In the third trimester of pregnancy (the last three months), sexual behavior becomes difficult, and the pregnant woman's estrogen and progesterone levels reach their highest levels. She focuses on the child and loses interest in sex. More intimate behavior between couples can maintain an intimate relationship.
What should I pay attention to during sexual activity during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, vaginal secretions increase and resistance decreases. Before sexual intercourse, both spouses should clean the external genitalia and maintain hygiene.
2. During the close contact stage before sexual intercourse, the husband can stimulate the pregnant woman by touching and stimulating her. Do not put your fingers into the vagina to avoid damaging it and causing bacterial infections. When enjoying sexual life, try not to press the weight of the body on the wife's abdomen and breasts as much as possible.
3. Pay attention to sexual intercourse posture. Sexual intercourse can be done in a couple's customary and comfortable position, but be careful not to compress the abdomen.
4. The intensity of sexual intercourse should be appropriate, the movements should be gentle, and excessive stimulation should be avoided; The duration should be shortened accordingly (1-3 minutes).
5. Prospective fathers should be considerate and respectful of their wives, and forced sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. Don't expect your wife to have an orgasm, be considerate of her psychological and physical discomfort during pregnancy.
