As a pregnant women, you may experience sex drives much like
your moods. Up and Down! Some women claim that they have no sex
drive at all during pregnancy, and others, say their sex drive
is better during pregnancy. With changes to your body happening
so quickly, your moods and dives may also change just as quick!
Here are some common questions often asked by pregnant women
with helpful answers!
Is it safe to have sex during all trimesters of pregnancy? If
there is no pain during sex and your not a high risk pregnancy,
then sex is perfectly safe! If you are experiencing pain, or
have a history of miscarriages, or any complications, consult
with your medical professional.
I do not have any desire for sex, is this normal? Every woman's
pregnancy is different. While some women experience an increase
in their sex drive, others may experience a decrease. Many women
that are experiencing morning sickness, have no desire for sex
at all. This is fine, and actually perfectly normal. Who wants
to make love when they feel sick? As you enter your 2nd
trimester, most of the time the morning sickness will start to
vanish. Once this happens, you will feel better and your sex
drive many appear. If you seem to just have no desire for sex at
all, there are other ways to satisfy your needs and your
partners needs for intimacy, such as kissing and holding each
other.
Are there any positions that are more comfortable during my
later months of pregnancy? Once your belly begins to grow, it
may become uncomfortable to have sex in the "man on top"
position. The "spoon" position has become pretty popular among
pregnant women! In this position, each partner lays on their
side, with the man in the back. This way your belly is not in
the way and your body is still flat.
Is it true that sex can induce labor? According to medical
professionals, there is a chemical in semen, that will soften
the cervix, and aid in the labor process. However, sex will not
actually induce labor. The semen can assist the labor process
once it has begun, but will not actually cause labor to begin.
If you are experiencing contractions, consult with your medical
professional.
