Pregnancy can make sex a bit difficult or clumsy especially when you approach the final trimester. However, it’s still important you have sex occasionally. These 6 sex best positions can be adopted while you’re pregnant.

You on top:

This sex position is quite similar to the reverse cowgirl style, you’ll have to get your partner to sit on a sturdy surface or floor with his legs stretched out in front of him or crossed. You’ll climb on top of him facing his feet for a reverse cowgirl. This style is effective because it helps you determine the pace and penetration, it also reduces the pressure on your stomach. Squatting can be difficult because your bump is heavier but then, another option to avoid pressure on your stomach is to kneel on your partner.

Him sitting on you:

You will have to use a chair or you sit on his lap. You can do this two ways. Either you sit with your back on him or face him spanned with two legs either side. If your feet isn’t touching the ground, get something to make the floor closer to you with this you’ll be able to bounce up and down using your feet as support.

Spoon sex:

You can make use of the spoon sex when your bump is heavy and you can’t practice face-to-face anymore. Just lay down with your side, move closer to him with your back facing his chest and leave the rest to him. He’ll penetrate through the back and it allows shallow penetration and the position isn’t too strenuous either.

Him from behind:

Doggy style is used most times during the early stages of pregnancy however, once the bump starts getting bigger your penetration won’t be strong before the bump got bigger. At this point, you can use pillows as support for resting your weight, use your hands and knees at the edge of the bed and your partner behind you. You can as well lower yourself onto your forearms in order to help your partner penetrate.

Scissors:

If you enjoy slow/tender sex then adopting the scissors style during pregnancy isn’t a bad idea as it breeds comfort and gentle sex. Both lie at opposite ends of the bed with legs scissored together. There is not much to worry about in this position since penetration tends to be shallow and tender.

Edge of bed:

Lie at the edge of you bed, lie back with your partner in front of you, wrap your legs around his waist. This style helps you control the pace of penetration and if you feel dizzy after laying on your back for a while, you can always get a pillow to brace your head.
