1 - There is no reason to stop having sex during a pregnancy is progressing normally.
2 - Should be consulted in case of abnormal signs (vaginal discharge, bleeding, burns ...) especially in the second half of pregnancy. This, whether or not we have sex!
3 - If for any reason (pregnancy complications, rejection or blockage of one of two partners, ...), penetrative sex had to be interrupted, it would be important to continue having sex without penetration: caresses, sex play, mutual masturbation ... This does not harm the fetus and perpetuates complicity in love, intimacy and maintains a balanced relationship that will benefit the family balance after the baby arrives and is resumed after delivery.
Psychologists believe that pursuing a relationship during pregnancy is important for establishing a proper triangulation of the future family (the family relationship would be less likely to be unbalanced by hypertrophy of the mother-child relationship to the detriment of marriage).
4 - Positions: with advancing pregnancy, some may become uncomfortable. You will have to avoid all those where the woman would feel "crushed" by the weight of the man or where the woman is lying face down.
For example:
- The position of the conventional so-called "missionary" (the man above the woman, herself on the back) can be continued long enough. In fact, as a man can avoid influencing the womb of his partner under his body by pressing your hands.
- The woman dominant position astride became one of the least uncomfortable and most appreciated, if necessary by limiting the depth of penetration.
- The lateral positions are also more comfortable for women (especially in late pregnancy): face to face, on each side, quickly limited by the protrusion of the stomach, woman turning her back to man, both on the side , with the inconvenience for her not to see his partner. Finally, the woman can lie on his back and on the side, more or less perpendicular to it, surrounded on both legs of his partner (position "scissors").
Anyway, with common sense and a little curiosity, couples are finding the most comfortable positions for them!
5 - The breasts may become sensitive or painful during pregnancy as power. It should, if this were the case, be considered when petting or the choice of positions.
6 - If vaginal dryness, penetration may become less pleasant. Using a lubricant would be enough to remedy.
7 - In patients with a history of sexually transmitted disease (or risk of having one), use condoms.
Surveys show that while 76% of pregnant women feel they should talk about their sexuality to a physician, only 29% "dare" to broach the subject. Nearly half of women think it is embarrassing to talk about. Sexuality of pregnant women, nowadays, is still a taboo. Do not hesitate to ask your obstetrician issues that you come to mind.
