Best sexual positions whilst pregnant?
If you’re asking this question then bravo to you and your libido.
Very impressive indeed. Your menu of sexual positions to choose
from whilst cooking a baby in your belly can include the whole
Kama Sutra if you’re up for it. Really, you can be as adventurous
or as basic as you want to be in the bedroom. Your first trimester
will be the easiest to manoeuver some of those more complex
positions but as you get further along in your pregnancy, you’ll
want to accommodate for your growing belly.
The only thing to watch out for is laying flat on your back which
could cut off the blood flow to your baby, so if missionary style
is your thing you’ll have to find an alternative position once
your belly becomes larger. Also to note, oral sex is totally fine,
just ask your partner to refrain from blowing air up there whilst
he’s doing his thing. This could block a blood vessel and cause
an embolism, which would be harmful to mama and baby.
Here are some of the best positions you and your
partner can try during pregnancy:
•
Spooning:
Sure spooning can be used for cuddle time, but
once you take your clothes off and spoon, it becomes sexy
time. For safety reasons, lay on your left side.
•
Mama on top:
This classic position is ideal for pregnancy. You
and your belly are in control and out of the way.
•
Scissoring:
The scissors position can be a lazy, or pregnant,
women’s fave position for the shear ( ! ) fact that you’re
basically just using your inner thigh muscles. The gentler and
slower penetration will also be a welcome relief if you’re in your
third trimester.
•
On a chair:
Your partner sits on a chair and you’re either facing
him or facing away from him. Facing away from your partner
is a good choice if you’re still in the I’m-going-to-vomit-any-
minute stage.
