When you are pregnant, you experience many emotions and body changes. Consequently, you might keep wondering whether you are still sexy and attractive. It’s normal for pregnant women to feel shy about getting intimate with their partners. However, when you know how to explore your sexuality during pregnancy, these nine months will be the best time of your life.
Agree to be ‘sexy’
Look keenly at your body. You will notice that as the pregnancy grows, so do your breasts. They are fuller and more rounded. For some women, the nipples and hips also become more pronounced. Some women get acne problems but others glow, and hair looks fuller. The fact is that you are sexier and still beautiful when pregnant. So, feel free to enjoy your body.
Communicate with your partner
You already know the importance of communication in a relationship. The great news is, it’s easy to boost how the two of you communicate during pregnancy. Remember that your partner cannot bond with the unborn baby without involving you. Hence, you can take advantage of such an opportunity to take your intimacy to the next level with or without sex. Talk about how you feel and find new ways to stay close to each other. Provided that both of you are open with your feelings, you will experience a deeper connection and better sexual encounters.
Accept the change
If you don’t accept your new body, you will keep second-guessing yourself. You cannot change the fact that your belly is growing big, or that you may begin having some stretch marks.
Nevertheless, you are about to bring new life to the world-something that many women can’t do. Hence, accept the changes happening to your body. Choose to feel adequate, unashamed, and sexy. If you don’t embrace the new you, your sex life might suffer.
Play with New Positions.
When you attend your prenatal clinics, your doctor will prohibit you from some sex positions. That means you and your lover have the chance to experiment and discover new things.
As you figure out the sex positions that work for you, explore the depths of your sexuality. Many women have the best sex of their lives when pregnant. Have fun.
Follow your sex drive
Your feelings will fluctuate from one trimester to another, and so will your sex drive. In the first twelve weeks, you will still be adjusting to the idea of being pregnant. You might also experience severe morning sickness but here are ways you can manage that.
In the second trimester, you will be more energetic and active, and in the last one, you will be tired and heavy. Therefore, your desire for sex will vary during the three trimesters.
Conclusion
If you have a problematic pregnancy, the doctor might prohibit you from sexual intercourse – read more about that here. That does not mean that you cannot enjoy other forms of intimacy. However, if your clinician has given you the green light, you can go wild in the bedroom. Sex during pregnancy is extremely enjoyable for both men and women.
