The news of pregnancy changes a lot in the life of a spouse, including intimate relationships. Sexual frenzy during pregnancy is not provided, but it is also not necessary to give up sex if there is no medical indication for this.
First trimester sex
In the first trimester, many women do not feel very well physically and mentally. Weakness, nausea, dizziness or any other manifestation of toxicosis do not contribute to the appearance of sexual desire. Changes in progesterone levels can affect morale, which will be manifested by a sharp change in mood or tearfulness. In general, this can be called a kind of "protection" of pregnancy, because even with good health, expectant mothers should be careful and moderate their sexual appetite so as not to provoke a miscarriage.
Having sex in the second trimester
The second trimester can be characterized by the normalization of the physical and psychological state of the expectant mother. Most women at this time become very attractive sexually - the shapes are rounded, the breasts become larger, but the belly is not yet pronounced. It is believed that the period from the 16th to the 28th week is the ideal time for sexual activity. Hormone levels stabilize, vaginal discharge increases, desire and arousal are faster. For many women, pregnancy is the first time they have an orgasm.
Intimate life in the last trimester
In late terms, there are still pleasant features of the second trimester, but with the approach of childbirth, parents often abandon intimate life or reduce it to a minimum. The reasons for this are mainly not physiological, but psychological - fatigue, anxiety and tension accumulate, associated with preparation for the appearance of a baby. A large belly and excess weight make a woman feel not very attractive, and on the part of the future dad, there is a fear of harming the child. But even in this case, you can have sex by finding positions for yourself that will not cause fears for the future baby. If you want to refrain from intimate relationships until the baby is born, there will be no negative consequences.
