As my pregnancy is progressing, my husband and I are wondering about safe sex positions. Are there certain positions that are more comfortable and safe to try during pregnancy, especially as my belly grows? We want to be careful.
Beta, always be very careful during these times and don't put any pressure on your stomach. The most important thing is comfort, so only do what feels safe and gentle. If you ever feel even a little pain or notice any spotting, please stop immediately and consult your gynac.
Hey, don't stress too much about this, baby is totally safe inside! Spooning or being on top are usually the most comfortable positions since there’s zero pressure on the bump. Just take it slow and do whatever feels comfy for u, okay?
Just like with my yoga and walking routine, I made sure to get my doctor's green light first before anything. Side-lying positions are great because they don't put any strain on your pelvic floor or back. Just be gentle and stop if you feel any fatigue or discomfort.
I completely understand how anxious you must be feeling right now, I was in the same boat last year. Spooning worked best for me because it felt so safe and didn't put any strain on my tummy. Just listen to your body and don't force anything if you aren't feeling up to it.
Listen, the main rule is no pressure on your stomach, so the missionary position is a big no. Side-lying or being on top are much safer options to try. Also, just make sure your doctor hasn't advised complete bed rest or mentioned any issues like a low-lying placenta.
