The big changes in your body are bound to change your sex life. Some women, finally free from worries about conception and contraception, feel sexier than ever. But others are just too tired or nauseated to make love, especially in the first trimester . The second trimester is often marked by a resurging libido. Your desire may wane again in the third trimester as birth, labour, and your belly loom large, or you may simply feel unattractive.
Most people find their pregnant partner truly attractive.
But a partner's desire may be dampened by concerns for the health of the mother and baby, apprehension about the burdens of parenthood, fear that sex can hurt the baby, or even self-consciousness about making love in the presence of their unborn child. Yes, normal oral sex won't harm you or your baby and many consider it a good solution if intercourse is deemed too risky. But during pregnancy blowing air into the vagina could be dangerous. Having your partner on top demands increasingly creative gymnastics as your tummy swells. But lying partly sideways allows your partner to keep most of his weight off your uterus.
