SEX DURING PREGNANCY
During pregnancy, changes in a woman’s sexual desire and in her response are usual. Most pregnant women have a reduced sexual interest in the first half of pregnancy, which continues, with considerable individual variation, through the second half of pregnancy. Once aroused, however, pregnant women experience an increased amount of swelling around the vagina, so that sexual intercourse itself can be very pleasurable to both partners.
It is not clear why women are less sexually aroused in pregnancy. While it is probably due to the hormones which are produced by the placenta, there is also an emotional factor. Some women find that sexual intercourse is uncomfortable; others fear that the man’s thrusting penis may injure the baby; others are embarrassed about their enlarged, droopy breasts and their swollen abdomen, and see themselves as unattractive and not sexy. In contrast, some women enjoy sex more in pregnancy, as they have proved their fertility and are no longer fearful of becoming pregnant.
