If everything is normal - it's safe
It is quite safe to have sex during the entire pregnancy, if it happens traditionally, without perversions and rudeness. In normal pregnancy, when there is no risk of miscarriage or the birth of a dead child, sex is not contraindicated. However, parents often worry that sex during pregnancy can cause embryonic malformation, lead to premature birth. Sometimes they even worry that the child understands what is happening, and this causes him additional inconveniences. Do not worry about it, because the child is well protected from such "influence" in the womb of the mother.
Men usually fear that they can harm a future mother, that sex will be painful for her. Such fears are perfectly normal, but most often they are unreasonable. In fact, there is often an increase in sexual desire in some pregnant women. To the genitals blood flow increases, the chest becomes more sensitive than usual. This gives stronger feelings during sex. If your pregnancy is not risky - there's nothing to be afraid of. If there is a risk, it is best to consult a doctor. Sometimes it may be recommended that sexual activity be discarded throughout pregnancy.
Sexual attraction during pregnancy
The desire of many pregnant women increases and decreases in different stages of pregnancy. And in all this process is strictly individual. If something bothers you, the best thing you can do is share your wishes and problems with your partner. Tell me how much you want (or do not want to) have sex so that your partner is also aware of the situation. Thus, you can avoid unpleasant misunderstandings, do not trash yourself into thinking that something is wrong with you. Do not give up physical contact with a partner. Do not want sex - then just kiss and hug him to keep the closeness between you. This is good when partners together understand the characteristics of sexual activity during pregnancy. Many women lose their sexual desire because of the increased excitement (or fear) of the forthcoming birth. But if harmony reigns between you, even this will not prevent you from maintaining a whole and trusting relationship.
There are many reasons why sex during pregnancy can get even better than usual, even if you resort to it less often. First, it contributes to the flow of blood to the genitals and chest. Also, you can add to this the best quality of lubrication - it gets bigger, it stands out constantly. Moreover, if you have long tried to become pregnant, it certainly created tension in sex with your partner. If you are pregnant, this tension disappears, and you can indulge in pleasure without looking back at the expectation of the result. Of course, if you are stressed by the idea that sex can harm a child, it is unlikely to help ...
