While waiting for a bun in the oven... This post is for my pregnant friends. :) Three years ago, when I was expecting, I was reading about anything related to pregnancy and noticed that there was not much clear documentation about what positions were safe or not during pregnancy. Not until my friend sent me this flyer that they gave out at the Verdun Hospital, up in Montreal.
I know some mom-to-be will see this and think "What? Me having sex now with this huge belly? Not interested! I'm way too tired and uncomfortable to even consider it!!". Some would despise intercourse so much they would tell their spouse they can't be active for six months after the delivery.
This post is for those who are not too floored by all the pregnancy sickness and fatigue, and not in a situation where sex isn't recommended by their doctor.
Five great reasons to have sex when you’re pregnant
- Your body is geared up for better, easier sex: increased blood flow to the pelvic area can cause engorgement of the genitals and heighten the sensation
- Sex increases your bond with your partner. You’re heading for a magical, but stressful, time so the closer you are in the run-up to the birth, the better.
- - Orgasm – or just massage – is a great way to relieve tension in the body and soothe aching limbs.
- It helps you prepare for childbirth by keeping your pelvic muscles strong and supple.
- It’s free and it’s fun. What else can you say that about during pregnancy?
For some reasons, Blogger won't let me add captions directly in the photos. Those two illustrations above are the sexual positions that are safe ONLY for the first THREE months.
These other two positions above are to be practiced until up to FIVE months.
These three pictures above are positions that are safe throughout the entire pregnancy and even until the end.
It is inadvisable to practice this last position above throughout the entire pregnancy as the penetration would be too deep.
I hope this document will help some of you. Have fun!
