Now that the bump is growing some positions feel uncomfortable and we want to be safe for baby. Bit shy to ask my gynac directly tbh. Mommies who dont mind sharing, what worked for u?
While side-lying or spooning positions are generally recommended because they protect the abdomen, you must check with your gynac first. Every pregnancy is different, and if you have any complications, your doctor might advise complete pelvic rest. Please stay safe.
With a huge twin belly, most positions felt like trying to park a truck in a small garage! Spooning or side-lying was the only practical way we could manage without me feeling like I was suffocating. Keep it gentle and don't do any crazy acrobatics, haha!
Going slow and using the side-lying spooning position is usually the most comfortable option during pregnancy. It doesn't put pressure on your baby bump at all. Just prioritize your comfort and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
We are still trying to figure this out too! My doctor said spooning or woman-on-top is best because you can control the depth and there's no pressure on the bump. Have you girls experienced any cramping after? I get a bit scared sometimes.
I totally understand how important intimacy is for your bond, but your comfort is the most precious thing right now. Spooning position is very gentle and keeps the pressure off your belly, allowing you to feel close without any strain. Just listen to your body and go very slowly, dear.
In our family, elders always say to be extremely gentle and careful with everything during these months. If you do plan to be intimate, side-lying spooning position is usually considered safest as it doesn't put any weight on your stomach. Just make sure you are fully comfortable.
Because of my past loss, we were extremely cautious and avoided intimacy for a long time. When we finally did, we only used the side-lying position as it felt the safest and gentlest. Please consult your doctor first to make sure there are no risks like a low placenta before trying anything.
Honestly, during pregnancy I was too tired for sex, but when we did, woman-on-top was best because I could stop immediately if I felt weird. Now with a crying baby, the only position I care about is horizontal sleeping! Just do whatever feels comfortable and don't stress.
