Pregnancy is a time when many emotional and physical changes occur.

It is important to know how the woman and her man feel when it comes to have sexual intercourse when it comes to pregnancy. The feeling of love making and sexual needs may differ then the usual.
And the best to tackle these types of differences should be removed by discussing about each others wants and feelings. One should know that it is very essential that baby expecting couple should discuss about sex and its effect on the baby at the pregnancy care centre at the time of prenatal visits.
Pregnancy Transformations and Sexuality
In many females, the initial 3 months of pregnancy gives nausea and fatigue. If such symptoms persist the woman will not feel like making love. In pregnancy the blood supply increases near the pelvic area. At the time of second three months, after the initial trimester symptoms have gone and before the uterus grows and makes a position, a lot of woman take pleasure in sexual intercourse.
During pregnancy a woman’s breast increases and enlarges more when sexually aroused. Some women enjoy truly when their breasts are fondled whereas others feel these modifications in an uncomfortable way.
When the pregnancy advances and the female starts losing her waistline, the positioning and comfortability becomes an issue while lovemaking. The female gets depressed as her figure changes. And the baby starts moving down near the pelvis; the female gets disturbed with the increasing pelvic pressure. Even her partner should be concerned about not hurting the baby.
On top of this orgasm is something scary for woman at the time of pregnancy, the reason being while reaching orgasm the uterus contracts in a flowing fashion. This contraction long lasting in pregnancy and the third trimester are more long and hard contractions which are really uncomfortable. Each other’s wishes are of course important so massage and cuddling can be a good alternative to spend time together.
