Sex and Pregnancy: How to Make Love to a Pregnant Woman

You Don't Have to Be Psychic to Please Her

Pregnancy changes a woman's body in a number of ways. Your pregnant partner will experience both physical and emotional changes that may affect your sex life. As her partner or father to be, you may feel alienated from by your inability to experience what she is going through. It may be hard to tell what she wants, especially if she is having mood swings. You're a man, not a mind-reader, after all! Let this expectant mother tell you how to satisfy your wife in bed during the long nine months of pregnancy.

Understand that her libido may change. She may want sex more often or less often. Remember that you do not have to have sex if you don't want to--and neither does she. Do not pressure her to have sex with you if she is not in the mood. Don't beg for sexual favors either. Likewise, if you're feeling oversexed or aren't in the mood, let her know. It is okay to ask for sex or for a sexual favor from a partner, of course; you just have to be respectful of the answer.

Many women find themselves very tired and sick as their body adjusts to pregnancy. Often, in the first trimester, women aren't that interested in sex. This isn't true for every woman, though. Some want it more. In the second trimester, she will probably have more interest in sex. By then she should have more energy and no longer be plagued by morning sickness. In the third trimester, once again, it is likely that she will lose interest in sex. This is because her growing belly is putting more of a strain on her physically.

She may be interested in different sexual activities as well. A woman that once enjoyed oral sex may no longer be interested in fellatio or cunnilingus. A woman that never showed much of an interest in either may now prefer oral sex. She may also be interested in trying new things in the bedroom. This will include sexual positions, especially as her belly expands, but it may not be limited to them. Now is a very good time to engage in both of your fantasies and to carefully experiment.
