The side-lying front to front position won't work as well later in pregnancy as your belly grows, but try it early on. The advantages to side-lying front to front include being able to see your partner and not having pressure on your belly. Again, it may help to support your upper leg with a pillow.

 

As you progress through pregnancy, having your partner on top of you can become uncomfortable. So a little modification to this position for sex during pregnancy is to have your partner on top, with his weight supported by his arms. This way, he is not pushing on your belly, yet you are still able to enjoy this position. Do not stay on your back for long periods of time while pregnant, though, as the extra weight of your baby can put added pressure on your abdomen and eventually your aorta, making you pass out.

 

For this sex position, you are on your hands and knees with your partner behind you. This position will work well, especially as your pregnancy progresses and your belly gets bigger. There is no extra weight on your belly, and your partner will have room to maneuver. This position can allow deeper penetration, so remind your partner not to thrust too deep.

 

This sex position is pretty self-explanatory -- sit in your partner's lap. For a little variety, have your partner sit on a chair, and sit facing him.

 

One of the advantages of the on-top position during pregnancy is that you can support the weight on your knees, either facing towards or away from your partner, while he is lying down. This position avoids unnecessary weight on your belly; it also allows room for your growing belly.

 

Final Thoughts on Sex Positions During Pregnancy

Sex during pregnancy is just another part of your changing life. It can be a fun, bonding experience for both you and your partner. Always be open in communication, and let your partner know if something is uncomfortable. Also, if you get to a point where the actual act of intercourse is not comfortable anymore, there are other ways to be sensual together, such as oral sex or massage.
