Diagram of body positions for intercourse during pregnancy

Since you can have sex during the second trimester of pregnancy, you must pay attention to your posture during the second trimester of pregnancy to avoid pressing on the expectant mother's abdomen. You can actually use the following postures:

The man sleeps on his side, and the woman lies flat on her back, with her legs resting on the man's legs. This allows for close-range sexual intercourse and protects the abdomen from compression. In addition, this posture does not affect the caressing before sexual intercourse.

Female side-lying position: The woman lies on her side, and the man enters her body from behind, with his body close to her. The advantage of this posture is that it does not cause any pressure on the female abdomen, and is particularly suitable for women in the late stages of pregnancy. Men can also hug women intimately, caress their breasts, and kiss their shoulders, neck, and back.

Man on top, woman on bottom (avoid oppression of woman's abdomen): man is on top, but should pay attention to support with both hands to avoid oppression of woman's abdomen. This posture can be used until the abdomen bulges too much.

The woman is on top and the man is on the bottom. This position is ideal for couples in the second trimester of pregnancy. In the late pregnancy, women can change to the woman on top position.

In the doggy style, the woman kneels on the edge of the bed, spreads her legs as far as possible, and leans forward, and the man enters her body from behind. The man can stroke the woman's back and control the depth of the rubbing. For those women who cannot bear the weight of men at the beginning, this posture is more suitable, which can protect the abdomen from being subjected to excessive impact.

In the sitting position, the woman sits above the man's legs at zero distance (suitable for the stage when the abdomen is not too big), supports herself with both hands, and the man can help the woman move left and right. If the woman is too tired, she can adjust and slow down the rhythm by herself. Because this posture allows the male's penis to penetrate deeper, both parties experience significant pleasure. When the abdomen becomes larger, the woman can turn the body over and use the sitting position to enter from behind.

Generally speaking, in the first half of the sexual intercourse, it is best for women to lie flat with their legs bent or flexed and stretched apart, which can help men ejaculate earlier and reduce the time of sexual intercourse. In the second half of the pregnancy, because the pregnant woman's abdomen is protruding, it is advisable for the man and woman to sleep on the same side, with the man lying forward and the male penis inserted into the vagina from the woman's buttocks. This will reduce the length of the penis entering the vagina and weaken the stimulation intensity of the vagina and uterus.
