Love and Sex
Sex during pregnancyThere is no reason to change your sexual life during pregnancy, unless your doctor advises you to do that. Relationships or sexual orgasm will not affect your baby unless you have medical problems.Remember that the baby is protected by your uterus amniotic fluid that surrounds it. The doctor may recommend you to avoid sex during pregnancy if you suffered in previous pregnancy, had complications as premature birth or bleeding. How can I be comfortable during the sexual act?Once the pregnancy progresses, changing positions may become necessary to feel comfortable. This may be true also after child is borne. You can use a lubricant based on water during the sexual act, if necessary.During the sexual act you shouldn't feel pain at all. Your uterus will be contracting during orgasm, but if the contractions are more painful, then you need to call a doctor. Also, the sex should be interrupted if you are bleeding or if your water brakes (nothing should enter the vagina after your water breaks!) And call your doctor immediately.  Communication with partnerDiscuss with your partner: Tell him how you feel, especially if you have doubts about sex during pregnancy. Encourages him to talk to you, especially if you notice major changes in his behavior. It will help both of you to better understand your feelings and wishes.Will I want something else?It's natural that during pregnancy to want and need something else. Hormones can cause some women a greater desire for sex, while other women may be less interested in sex as before becoming pregnant. During the first trimester of pregnancy, some women can lose interest in sex because they do not feel comfortable, or are tired but some women maintain their desire for sex.Take your time for intimacyIf your doctor has put limits on you sexual activity, or if simply you are not in the mood for having sex, remember to make time for you and your partner. Being intimate does not necessarily mean to have sexual intercourse. Love and affection can be expressed in many ways.Enjoy as much time together. You can go for romantic walks, have candle light dinners and give yourselves massages. On how long after birth can I have sex?In general, you can get back to your sexual life after your bleeding stops and when you and your partner will feel comfortable. The doctor may recommend you to wait until after the first birth control.After birth, some women may lack natural vaginal lubrifiant during sexual act. In this case you can use a lubricant based on water to get rid of the discomfort. It's very difficult for women to stay focus during pregnancy but in the same time to let their fantasies become true. If you are one of those women who benefits of increased desire for sex during pregnancy then don't miss out the chance to enjoy from time to time. |
