Sex During & After Pregnancy

Share this:

Global Women Connected Sex pregnancyDuring and after pregnancy, there are hormonal and physical changes that can make sex difficult. The obvious physical problem when pregnant is the size of the bump, which may make it difficult to get in a comfortable position for sex. During pregnancy some women can become more interested in sex but some less interested. Some women and men worry about hurting the baby during intercourse or causing a miscarriage. There is no risk of either. After delivery, hormone levels change causing lack of sex drive and vaginal dryness which can make sex painful. Women are often too tired to have intercourse and worry about disturbing the baby who may be sleeping in the same room. Men need to understand how a woman feels after delivery.
