During pregnancy a woman experiences severe changes - in health and in lifestyle. But every woman wants to look beautiful and feminine during pregnancy. At least, life does not stop for nine months - it goes on and even could change directions. Women and men might suffer from different inconveniences, but the most regular question they are keen in is "What about sexual health concerns?". Sex during pregnancy is possible. There are a few pre-existing contra-indications which could become a reason for no sex during pregnancy: miscarriage during first 3-6 months when a women has been pregnant before, premature birth pangs or rupture of the fetal membranes (ROM).

In the most cases pregnancy sexual health (and mental health of a pregnant woman) depends on regular sexual intercourses. It is not worthy worrying if a woman is not so passionate like she has been before, but try to understand each other, to communicate on the sexual health concerns and even to experiment with poses and alternative sex (Tantra sex, petting, vestibular coitus, etc). Along with that, it's better to avoid using the sexual toys. Anal sex is not recommended. Just remember that intestinal bacilli that are transfered into vagina are hardly treated.

One of the sexual health concerns is pregnancy weight gain planning. Excess weight gained during pregnancy could become an obstacle for usual life style and for sex during pregnancy (pregnancy weight gain review). If it prevents you keeping your lifestyle, consult a physician. Not only women, but men could feel uncomfortable while a wife is pregnant. Learn how to cope with bad feelings together in order to share with positive emotions on waiting a moment when a baby will see the world.
