What are the best sex positions for pregnant women?

You may feel that sex during pregnancy is a "no go" area. The fact is that you can still enjoy and engage in sex during pregnancy. The reason for this misconception is that pregnant women are perceived as fragile and delicate, and that sexual intercourse may hurt them and the baby.

This is not entirely true; having sex is perfectly safe and will cause no danger to the baby or you. However, just to be on the safe side, it is always highly recommended that you consult your doctor before engaging in any sexual activity.

If your doctor agrees, you most likely can continue to have sex right through the third trimester. In some cases, a doctor may even recommend having sex when you reach your due date, as this will help induce labor naturally.

There is no one correct way to having sex when pregnant, just using common sense about what you are doing will assist you greatly. Here are some sex positions for pregnant women that will be comfortable and pleasurable.

This technique is very effective as there will be no pressure to your abdomen, and you will both be in a restful position. Lie down on your side and have your partner lie down on his side behind you. He will then penetrate your vagina from the rear, this position will allow him to simultaneously stimulate your breasts.

Woman on Top ( Click Here for Animation)

"Woman on top" will allow you to control the depth of penetration and speed. It is very comfortable and puts no weight on your stomach. Simply position yourself on top of the man with your legs astride. This position can be a little tiring for women in their third trimester.

Sitting ( Animation Coming Soon)

Have your partner sit in a chair and then you straddle him. This position will also allow you to keep the weight off your stomach, and is a very intimate position.

Rear Entry ( Animation Coming Soon)

This is very similar to doggy style and is a rear entry position that many pregnant women favor. Get into position by going on all fours and use lots of pillows to support your stomach and chest. Your partner then approaches you from the rear, and you engage in sexual intercourse.

As mentioned before, it is a case of adjusting to the new situation. There is no need for sexual relations to stop unless indicated by a doctor. Find positions that are comfortable and satisfy both you and your partner. You can continue to enjoy a healthy sexual relationship throughout the pregnancy.
