The good news is that yes, it is. But are certain sex positions better than others during those nine-ish months? Glad you asked. For a lot of pregnant people, the first trimester can be rough, between the possible fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. In addition to the mood swings and breast tenderness, you are also experiencing increased blood flow to the pelvis, Dr.
Lisa M. This can have various effects on your sex drive, including increasing genital sensitivity and vaginal lubrication, as well as causing discomfort, she explains. Like being on top? Might as well go for it during your first trimester, before your bump starts growing and may make it more difficult to get in this position further down the line. If at any point during or after sex you experience heavy spotting or bleeding, you should call your physician immediately. During the second trimester, your breasts and uterus have grown significantly, and your bump is starting to get noticeable.

In general, sex should not be painful, Valle says. Having said that, you are going to want to avoid any sex positions where pressure is applied to your abdomen. This also applies to the third trimester. Your best bets for your second semester are side-lying entry or rear entry positions yes, like doggy style.
According to Valle, these are good examples of positions that avoid any abdominal pressure or weight on the belly. Another thing you want to keep in mind is that your cervix might bleed easily with deep penetration, she explains, so she advises sticking with positions involving shallow thrusting, like having the woman on top, and variations of sitting and standing positions. Starting at approximately four to five months, Valle recommends avoiding lying flat on your back to prevent blood flow to the uterus and fetus decreasing.
Valle says that the same type of positions mentioned for the second trimester can apply to the third trimester as well β like a nice side-by-side position. In addition to making sure sex is safe for you and your developing fetus, you may also want to take additional precautions in certain situations.
