Please, Baby, Baby, Please
Your sex drive is gone, but his isn’t? Just you wait! In the second trimester, your sex drive is likely to come storming back like Sherman marching on Atlanta. Until then, there are lots of ways to maintain a steamy level of intimacy that will leave you both sated.
Massage -- A really good foot massage can surpass the pleasure of sex -- especially when your feet are two sizes bigger than normal, courtesy of that retained water.
Making Out -- No one said that just because you don’t feel like sex, you don’t feel like necking. Rediscover the joys of those high school days in the back of the movie theater.
Making Out (down there) -- This one’s for both of you. Oral sex can make a fabulous replacement for traditional intercourse -- and the intimacy level is top notch. A word of warning, however: do not ever blow air into the vagina. I’m not sure why this would ever be enjoyable, but in this case, it can cause an embolism -- and that's not the kind of "little death" we like.
Cool Rock His World
With the addition of your belly, pregnancy sex can sometimes feel like a threesome -- at the very least, it is a bit cumbersome. But, with some creativity you can easily work around that beautiful belly of yours and take advantage of the increased blood flow you are experiencing in your girlie parts. Add these positions to your repertoire and he’ll be on you like static cling.
Cowgirl -- You on top, facing him. This is one of the best ways to get the face-to-face intimacy you crave without having to lie on your back (which can cause potentially dangerous circulation issues thanks to your vena cava being compressed).
Reverse Cowgirl -- Get a little bit crazy! This is you on top, facing away from him -- you get the same advantage of regular cowgirl, plus some extra G-spot stimlulation.
Spooning -- With you on your side and your partner behind you, there’s lots of places for hands to explore, and neither of you have to support the weight of your belly.
