9 OF THE BEST POSITIONS DURING PREGNANCY
What's the most comfortable position
When it comes to sex during
pregnancy, your go-to positions may start feeling awkward as your
bellY gets bigger. Sex is definitely still in the picture – but you'll probably
be looking for new ways to make it happen.
Here are some ideas
(complete with illustrations!) to get you started.
· "Missionary" position
If you try missionary
position after the first trimester, wedge a pillow under you so you're tilted,
not flat on your
back. And make sure your partner supports himself so his weight
isn't on your belly.
You on top
This position can work throughout your pregnancy.
Straddle your partner as he lies on his back. That way, there'll be no weight
on your abdomen and you can control the depth of penetration.
Side-by-side, from behind
Lie with your partner facing your back and entering
from behind. Keep some pillows handy for extra support as your pregnancy
progresses.
Penetration tends to be shallower in this position.
That's a good thing, because deep thrusts can become uncomfortable in later
months.
From behind, doggy style
Support yourself on your
knees and elbows as your partner kneels and enters from behind. A pillow can
provide needed tummy support.
Side-by-side, at an angle
You each lie on your side, your bodies creating a
V-shape. Wedge a pillow under your back for support as you face your partner,
and rest both legs over his hip. This position allows him to keep most of his
weight off your belly.
On a chair
Straddle your partner as he sits on a sturdy chair.
Position the chair near a wall or another piece of furniture to lean on when
you're ready to get up from this position.
Edge of the bed
Shift your bottom to the side or foot of the bed
and lie back with your knees bent. (After the first trimester, wedge a pillow
under one side so you're not completely flat on your back.)
Depending on the height of the bed, your partner
can kneel or stand.
