Sex During Pregnancy

There are varied opinions surrounding the issue of sex during pregnancy. While some people believe that it is wrong, some think that it is right while some people find their place in-between the two extremes.
Those who say it is wrong have their reasons.  Some of them are that sex during pregnancy is unsafe, the baby might be hurt, the baby might see them, it could cause miscarriage or that it is "unclean".
Those who say it is right affirm that it makes delivery easier, reduces infidelity, creates strong bond between the couple and so on.

But sex during pregnancy is not wrong and it is not entirely unsafe. In fact, there have been reports of women who claim to enjoy sex more during pregnancy. The only thing is that it should be done with care and you should consult your doctor before you make love to your wife while she's pregnant. This especially is important if you've had case(s) of miscarriage in the past.

Here in my part of the world, it is conventionally accepted that there should be no sex during the first three months of the pregnancy. The belief is that it could cause the pregnancy to come down ("come down" is the term for miscarriage in my language).

Although I heard that it is medically safe to have sex during pregnancy but I think it is better to avoid it in the first trimester. I didn't do it during that period to be on the safe side.
Any time you are in the mood, make the move. Any time we want to do it, we usually use these three sex positions and I recommend them.

The dog style
In this style, woman kneels (Sorry. Like a dog) and you do it from the rear. This position is good because the penetration is not deep enough to cause any discomfort and some people enjoy it. The only thing to bear in mind is that since the clitoris is an important part in sexual enjoyment for the woman, her spouse should fondle it with his hand in order to take the woman to the peak of enjoyment.
The Back-to-Back Position

Here, the woman lies on the bed and her spouse lies behind her with his belly to her back. He then enters her from the back. Like in the Dog style, the man should not forget the other parts of the woman's body especially her clit.

Sitting position
The man sits on a chair (an armless one if it is available) and his wife sits on top of him. In this position, she controls the depth of the penetration so the man could concentrate on the other parts of the body.
And for the baby, you don't have to worry. You should know that if my woman does not feel any pain while we are making love, it means that you are not hurting the baby.

You see, sex during pregnancy is not a taboo per se. You can enjoy it without restrictions. In fact, you can use any position to do it as long as it is convenient for you and it is not painful but it is always advisable to see medical experts for advice.
