Pregnancy and postpartum
Sexuality during pregnancy appears to be in the minds of many, very compatible, if not totally prohibited. This prohibition covers the period of pregnancy and the postpartum period of time after delivery to "return rules."
On the medical side, most studies conducted from 1989 to 1995, show that sex is possible and even desirable during pregnancy unless there is a cons-formal indication prescribed by the gynecologist or obstetrician, as such a threat of premature delivery.
Although there is a cons-indication to penetration, it is good to keep games erotic, sexual and emotional.
Due to the increased hormonal impregnation and circulation in the vessels encircling the vagina, lubrication becomes more abundant and stronger pleasure.
Some women discover orgasm during their pregnancy, the more easily they seek the least.
The frequency and duration of intercourse must be tailored to the desire of women.
The clitoral or vaginal orgasm is not dangerous for pregnant and having sex does not cause miscarriages.
The woman instinctively chooses the positions that are less restrictive.
Some pathological pregnancies may indicate the cons-coitus (open collar, preterm delivery, hypertension, edema, excessive smoking or malnutrition, certain gynecological infections). Some women may have experienced an orgasm at the time of giving birth to the child.
The childbirth preparation is essential for the sequence of events: The information it provides on the development of pregnancy, the birth process and its aftermath raise many issues of anxiety.
In the postpartum period, the reports can resume, as the desire of the woman within two to three days.
Episiotomy performed at present in 70% (which is too in our opinion) women requires several weeks of healing.
The resumption of sexual activity is marked by the fear of pain, of being torn.
During the healing period, the woman scrutinizes her perineum as he has learned to do in order to monitor the evolution of which is more easily because the region is set as often as possible "to air ". The resumption of relations is a very gradual manner by using a lubricant.
At the same time, she learns to retrain her perineum during his sessions with the physiotherapist and, subsequently, alone or with her partner at home.
This rehabilitation achieves an awareness of pelvic floor muscles, the levator ani and gluteal muscles. The "pee stop" (this is to block his urine several times before the bladder is completely emptied) is an excellent method of rehabilitation and some sexual games such as contraction of the vaginal muscles on both fingers slightly apart partner or on his sex during intercourse.
This exercise allows you to associate pleasure and rehabilitation. The resumption of sexuality in the postpartum period is even easier there is no real break in the pregnancy.
This period is also often extremely revealing of poor quality of sex in the past: whether a lack of orgasm or ejaculation premature partner.
We see very often in our consultations in men as in women an inhibition of sexual desire during and after pregnancy.
A man must be prepared for childbirth of his wife, for the vision of the birth, as wonderful as she may be, can result in some men a rejection of that part of their intimate partner.
Many sexual dysfunctions or many psycho-emotional can occur in either partner or because the couple can not accept his new parental role, because sexuality is stopped during pregnancy.
Anesthesia (loss of feeling), muscle laxity (strained muscles become too loose), the gap of the cavity and vulva vulva (often experienced as very humiliating for the woman), flows vulvovaginal in the aftermath of childbirth, lead to difficulties of resumption of sexual activity.
The lochia (blood loss of uterine origin), not the final healing of an episiotomy, cesarean section suites prohibit resumption of sexual intercourse with.
In fact, it is the woman who best to tell your partner how and when to resume sexual intercourse is possible, man must remain very attentive to the messages sent by its partner.
Be aware that in some cases, pain after pregnancy can hide a psychological problem or a marital discord that existed before pregnancy.
Making love in the ninth month is more than an act of love is to open a long-term perspective in the relationship.
