Sexual positions during pregnancy

As the baby inside you grows, the traditional position of the man on top of the woman will become increasingly uncomfortable. This is a good time, therefore, to experiment with new positions that you haven't tried before.

You will want to avoid putting pressure on abdomen, so try woman on top positions, as well as side entry and entry from behind positions as well. There are many positions, limited only by your imagination. Or get some sex books, and look up some positions you may have never tried before. Here are a few to get you started.

Missionary position

While the woman lies on her back, the man lies on top of her, but supports his weight on hands and knees so that he doesn't place pressure on the abdomen. This will be possible during the first few months of pregnancy but will become uncomfortable later.

Woman on top

The man lies on his back. The woman straddles him, leaning forward if she wants to, or backwards for more penetration. Many women like this positon because it allows them to control stimulation of the clitoris.

Side-by-side

While the man lies on his side, the woman lies on her back alongside him, and throws her legs across his pelvis. This position allows much face to face contact and considerable freedom of movement.

Sitting position

The man sits on a chair or the edge of the bed, while the woman sits facing him in his lap. This is a highly emotional position that can be highly enjoyable for both partners. When the woman's belly becomes too big for both partner's to sit face to face, the woman can turn her body slightly to one side.

Rear entry

In this position, the woman kneels on all fours while the man, kneeling, enters her from behind. This position can be very enjoyable for both partners, with deep penetration, and no pressure placed on the abdomen. The man can caress the woman's breasts, abdomen and genitals.
