Every woman is unique and so during the course of pregnancy, every woman’s desire fluctuates. While some may feel uncomfortable and lack enthusiasm for sex, others may find that their sex drive has fit the roof. But no matter which category you may fall into, you still have doubts about sex during pregnancy and its effects on the baby.
Well, let us break some myths and face the facts which will help alley your fears.
Myth 1: You can’t have sex during pregnancy
Fact: We all know that you have to have sex if you want to get pregnant. But can you have sex during pregnancy? Well you most definitely can!! As long as your pregnancy is going on normally, you can have sex as often as you like. In fact, there is no medical evidence suggesting that sex during pregnancy causes any damage whatsoever. The only times when you are most likely to be advised against having sex are:
• If you have had a tendency to miscarriage
• If you have a history of premature labour
• If you have a low-lying placenta
Myth 2: Sex during pregnancy causes miscarriage.
Fact: Many women worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, especially in the first trimester. But sex isn’t a cause of anxiety. Early miscarriages are usually connected to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems in the developing baby.
Myth 3: Sex can harm the baby
Fact: The baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as also by the mucous plug that blocks the cervix throughout most of your pregnancy. Having sex won’t affect your baby.
Myth 4: Orgasm can trigger premature labor
Fact: Sex doesn’t trigger labor as your due date approaches. Contractions caused by the orgasm are different from the contractions you’ll feel during labor. Orgasms, which may occur with or without intercourse, don’t increase the risk of premature labor or premature birth in case of normal pregnancy,
If we talk of experimenting with the positions, you can go ahead and play as much as you like but provided the position is comfortable. Finding the position with maximum pleasure and minimum risk is actually fun!
Most of the couples find that the sexual relationship between them changes during pregnancy. If you don’t feel like having sex during pregnancy, that is absolutely acceptable. After all there is more to the relationship than sex. In such a case, the best course of action would be to talk to your partner at length about your feelings. Share your needs and concerns with your partner in an open and loving way. Try to find alternatives if sex is difficult, unpleasant or off-limits. You may try cuddling, kissing or massage.
