THE SAFEST SEX POSATION DURING PREGNANCY
THE MISSIONARY
- Suitable for: First and second trimesters, possibly third if comfortable.
- Benefits: Allows relaxation while the partner does most of the work; face-to-face intimacy; partner can touch you.
- Precautions: In the third trimester, lying on your back may cause dizziness—use pillows for support. Avoid excessive weight on the bump and switch to a modified position if needed.
THE BEST SEX POSITIONS
THE SPOONING
- Suitable for: All trimesters, especially the third when a growing bump makes face-to-face positions difficult.
- Benefits: Allows bump support with a pillow; partner’s hands are free for stimulation; easy clitoral contact.
- Precautions: Penetration may be shallow, so it may not be ideal if deeper penetration is preferred.
THE BEST SEX POSITIONS
YOU ON TOP
- Suitable for: All trimesters.
- Benefits: Provides comfort, intimacy, and pleasure without requiring a wide leg opening. Allows for clitoral and breast stimulation.
- Precautions: Squatting may be difficult in the third trimester, so kneeling can be a better alternative.
THE BEST SEX POSITIONS
DOGGY STYLE
- Suitable for: All trimesters, especially the third, as it accommodates a growing bump.
- Benefits: Relieves pressure on the back and pelvis, making it ideal for those with pain in these areas. Allows for clitoral stimulation and can be adjusted for comfort by using cushions or trying variations like positioning at the edge of the bed.
- Precautions: If you have wrist pain or carpal tunnel syndrome, reduce strain by leaning on a wall or sofa. Deep penetration may cause discomfort, so communicate with your partner and use pillows for support. Adjusting your posture can help prevent pressure on the vaginal wall.
THE BEST SEX POSITIONS
SCISSORS
- Suitable for: First and second trimesters.
- Benefits: Provides an intimate and loving experience with face-to-face contact, allowing for kissing, cuddling, and eye contact.
- Precautions: Generally low risk, but using a cushion under the bump can enhance comfort.
