Do you want to grind and bump through every trimester? Then this article is for you. Rest assured, the penis won’t hurt the fetus and pregnancy sex is totally safe, unless you’re at risk of an early delivery and your doctor recommends you otherwise. So, feel free to try all these pregnancy positions over the next nine months and feel amazing! Because during gestation, your progesterone and estrogen levels are rising, increasing the blood flow and upping vaginal lubrication.
Just keep in mind that although all these positions are fair game, you might not want to lay on your back after the week 20 since the missionary position can compress the vena cava, impacting this way your circulation and your baby’s circulation throughout the body.
Another thing to remember: during pregnancy it is more likely for your cervix cells to bleed so don’t freak put if you notice spotting after sex. Even so, talk to your doctor every time it happens, even if you believe it could be sex related to rule out some other causes. And if in this period, you don’t feel particularly good during sex, try digital penetration, anal sex or oral sex.
All of these options are great and they will help you maintain intimacy in your relationship not to mention that they will make up for those 6 weeks after you give birth when you’ll have to abstain from having sex. So girl, get your sex portion now and accommodate with any of these positions while your belly grows.
First Trimester:
Scissor
In case you’re still a little freaked about the fact that your baby is going to be poked in his head during sex, you can begin with a shallower form of penetrative sex, a gentle position that will also increase the blood flow over there. More than this it will allow you to rub your clit against your partner’s pelvis, feeling hornier and more excited than usual.
How to: Sin on the bed facing your partner and lift his right leg over your left. Then lift your right leg over his left. Try to lean back while your partner shafts himself up using his arms. Allow him to gyrate gently into you, rather than thrust aggressively.
X-Files
Since after your 20 week it will be harder for you to lay back on your back, you should try this position now, especially when it gives your partner complete access to your breasts & nipples. Remember that they are more sensitive now thanks to the high level of estrogen and progesterone.
How to: Lie flat on your back keeping your legs crisscrossed in the air or wrapped around your partner’s neck, while he enters you. When you cross your legs, your vaginal opening is tighter and -we promise- the sensation will be more intense for both of you.
Cross Buttocks
A crazy position that you should definitely try before your belly grows and takes over your body. Not to mention the lubrication you’ll naturally get from those hormones will help a lot in this case.
How to: Start out in missionary position and let your partners slide his legs and chest off your body before the action begins. Remember that his limbs need to cross over yours.
Edge-of-Couch Missionary
Do you really love missionary? What about a fun twist that will spice up this position while letting your partner do most of the work, which can work perfectly when you’re tired.
How to: Lie down at the edge of your couch, bed or you can even use a chair and plant your feet firmly on the floor. Depending on the height of the surface, your partner will stand or get into his knees, grab your thighs and enter you.
Second Trimester:
Doggy Style
A classic position that can get you off without going acrobatic. Use some pillows to prop up your chest, especially if your back hurts during this position.
How to: Get on your knees and hands and have your partner enter you from behind. Remind him that he can help you with some extra anal or clitoral stimulation while you’re heading straight to Big O.
Leap Frog
Too tired to hold yourself up? What about a sex position that gives you rest while changing the depth of penetration? Consider to be one of the best sex positions during pregnancy, leap frog requires you to tilt your pelvis while using a pillow to give your head and arms some extra support.
How to: Lie on your bed facing down and bent your knees while raising your hips. Lean forward and use pillows to prop your body up. Allow your partner enter you from behind, while he’s bending his knees.
The Hot Seat
Although in the second trimester your belly will start to show up, you will still be able to do this sex maneuver and if you do it in front of a mirror while your partner strokes your breasts and stimulates your clit, it will be not only extremely sexy but also very intimate.
How to: While your partner sits on the edge of a bed you will lower yourself down, facing away. This position allows him maximum leverage, so test out all angles and see which one feels most comfortable.
Cowgirl
If you’re ready to take control, this position lets you set the depth of penetration and the pace you feel comfortable with, while giving your partner full access to your breasts.
How to: While your partner lies down on their back, having his legs outstretched, you kneel and spread your legs straddling your partner’s hips while facing forward. Lower yourself down and start riding up and down, as fast as feels comfortable.
Third Trimester
Spooning
If you want to take the pressure of your back and uterus, in the third trimester it will be better to get your belly out of the way and choose a position that doesn’t allow deep penetration, because it can be uncomfortable in the latest stages of pregnancy.
How to: Both of you should lie on your sides facing the same direction. Bend your knees while your partner behind you enters you. Help him by pushing your butt towards him and adjust the leaning of your bodies to enhance thrusting.
Reverse Cowgirl
This position gives you total control depending on how much you lean forward while increases clitoral stimulation. So change the angle until you find the right spot.
How to: While your partner lies on his back with his legs outstretched, spread your legs and kneel next to him. Then turn facing his feet and straddling his hips. Lower yourself down, and ride up and down.
Table Top
Great in the last trimester, this position provides easy access for your partner while standing. Not to mention you can embrace him with your legs while laying down on the table and enjoying different sensations.
How to: Use a table as a prop and sit with your butt on the edge of it. Ask your partner to support your legs and have him enter you.
