1 of 5
At the onset of gestation, most women show no great love for sex as they remain nauseated most of the time. Gradually, when she heads towards the 2nd trimester and in the peak of this period, she may feel the urge to indulge in sexual pleasures. This is because of the hormonal changes which trigger lubrication coupled with engorgement of the genitals. During the 3rd trimester again, she may feel a lack of desire for intercourse. If the would-be-father is anxious as well, you would be happy to know that the baby is well-protected in its mother s womb.

As the baby within your womb gradually becomes larger, it is better to avoid the classic guy-on-top position. This is because the weight of the baby may suppress some of the most important blood vessels in the back. This situation applies in particular in the 3rd trimester when the enlarged uterus can make it difficult for the pregnant woman to breathe when she is lying on her back. Opt for the sex position that makes you feel comfortable rather than pressuring you.

Even though during the 2nd quarter, you may feel the need to indulge in sexual activities, it vanishes away in the 3rd trimester. This is due to the fact that fatigue has returned with full force and sex takes a backseat. Plus, it becomes physically daunting to take part in any tiring act including sex. If it hurts to have sex, then it is better not to have intercourse. And make sure that you don t blow your partner during oral sex as it can develop an air embolus which can lead to fatal results.
It is important to take protective measures even when you are pregnant.

The function of the condom is not limited to preventing the sperm from reaching the genitals of a woman. It substantially shields against all kinds of sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Thus, it is critical to protecting yourself as well as your baby when you are pregnant.
