Dangerous sexual positions during pregnancy

As we have indicated, there are no dangerous positions as such that you cannot practice while pregnant. But there are some sexual positions that are uncomfortable during pregnancy. Below, we show them according to the stage of pregnancy:

First trimester

During this period of gestation, most pregnant women tend to maintain a good level of lubrication, the belly is not yet almost swollen and their feminine areas, such as the breasts and clitoris, are usually more sensitive than normal.

Therefore, during these first months there is no sexual position that could be uncomfortable for the future mother. So, take advantage of this entire period of time to practice all the positions you want with your partner.

Second quarter

This stage begins after the 20th week of gestation and is characterized by the enlargement of the maternal uterus which, in turn, puts pressure on the area where the aorta is located, which compromises the blood flow that reaches the placenta. Therefore, during the second trimester it is recommended that you avoid sexual positions where you have to lie on your back. Therefore, you should avoid positions like missionarysince in this position, there will be too much pressure on the aorta area.

Third trimester

The last trimester of pregnancy can be a difficult stage to enjoy sex due to the physiological conditions that the woman has acquired, including the dimensions of her belly, which will occupy a huge space between her and her partner.

Therefore, in this phase we will avoid all those positions that put pressure on the belly and we will practice those that allow us to control the depth of the penetrations. In these cases, the best positions to have sex are those where the woman is with her back to her partner, such as fusion or dressage.

Thanks to the previous section, we already know what type of positions it is advisable to avoid in each trimester of pregnancy. However, what are the most pleasant positions during pregnancy? Keep reading and discover them:

The fusion: In this sexual pose, the woman sits astride the man, so it is ideal when the pregnancy is in the second or third trimester because no pressure is exerted on her abdominal area.The dressage: In this position, the man will sit on the edge of the bed or sofa while the pregnant woman will sit on top with her back to her partner. It is also a very pleasant position, especially in the second trimester, since as we have indicated, the woman should avoid lying on her back and, in addition, as in fusion, there is no pressure on the belly.Mirror: This position is ideal for the last weeks of pregnancy since the man penetrates the pregnant woman while she rests her legs on his shoulders while lying face up, which offers her a lot of comfort.Mold: This position is very similar to the spoon, where the woman lies with her back to her partner, while he penetrates her from behind.
