My belly is growing, and I'm finding it harder to get comfortable in bed, especially next to my husband. Does anyone have tips on how to sleep comfortably with my husband during pregnancy?
My mother-in-law advised us to be very careful, but our doctor said normal intimacy is totally safe unless there is spotting. Just find comfortable positions where you don't feel any strain. Stay happy and calm.
Oh god, I panicked so much thinking it might hurt the baby. But my doctor laughed and said baby is well protected in amniotic sac! Once I realized that, we both felt so much more relaxed.
Honestly, sleep was my first love during pregnancy, sex was way down the list! But jokes apart, spooning or side positions work best if you actually have any energy left after dealing with all the fatigue.
We kept things very gentle and safe. Just like I had to be super strict with my diet and glucose checks, we were cautious about physical exertion too. Safe positions are key, nothing that puts pressure on stomach.
Please check with your gynac first before anything else. In some cases like low-lying placenta, they advise complete pelvic rest. Safety of the baby comes first so don't hesitate to ask your doc.
Arey don't feel shy, it is completely natural. Just avoid lying flat on your back in second and third trimester. Side-lying positions are the safest and most comfortable for both.
