Sexual Positions for Pregnancy

I love having sex with DH..Which is why we're pregnant in the first place...But now that I'm 20 weeks, its uncomfortable to make love to him in the classic missionary position, which is wonderful to see his face, but uncomfortable when he lays on my stomach and the baby then starts kicking the ever loving crap out of me. We were making love with the rear-entry position, but he was getting a little saddened because he thought I didn't want to see his face or kiss him. I told him it was the opposite, that it was because it was becoming very uncomfortable for him to lay on my stomach. Spoon sex is sweet, but it doesn't get my anywhere..The angle is all wrong..And my being on top is sensational, but because of my hip (my left one has twenty inches of metal strapped up inside the hip bone to prevent it deforming again from a disease I have) I can't go for extended periods of time.

Is there a position out there that satisfies his desire to watch me and vice versa and that is comfortable all the way around..We found one last night that involves a really soft couch, my butt hanging off it, and him kneeling in front of me..But, we need more for the bedroom because having sex in the living room isn't always an option for when DSD is around..

You'll really have to experiment and see what is most comfortable for you.

If he sits upright and you lie on your side he can see your face still. I used that position alot towards the end of my pregnancy.

Yup, missionary doesn't mean he has to put all his weight on you, pregnant or not. And he should know it's got nothing to do with you not wanting to see his face! The sheer logistics of it should make it apparent, lol.

Try rear-entry (I know...you're not facing him...but you're both going to have to learn to adapt to that if you want to continue having sex) but don't lay on your stomach. Kind of rest your weight on your elbows and knees, but crouching so your belly is between your legs..knees drawn up a bit, and your weight is on your haunches rather than just knees and elbows.

Personally, I love the spooning position, that's our most common one because then either he or I have access to my more important parts. That angle isn't really any different from rear entry, he's still behind you, but you can turn a bit more on your side and still be able to turn your head and see him. And Leticia's suggestion is good too. Or you laying back on the bed with him standing.

All you can do is try. If it doesn't work, you'll know it.

Riding him would be the most obvious position that comes to mind. But there is another that we discovered when I was heavily pregnant - and it remains one of our favourites even today.

First of all, you need a high bed. Have him stand at the edge of the bed facing inwards, and you are laying on your back with your legs around him. He can use his arms to support your butt - and your arms support the top half of your body. I find the angle of his penis rubbing on my Gspot totally awesome in this position.

A few that have worked for us

Me sitting on the edge of the couch, leaned back. Him on his knees in front of me. I spread my legs and he enters me.

Me on the edge of the bed. Him standing. I wrap my legs around his waist.

Me on my back in bed.. I lift my legs. He lays on his side and slides under my legs and enters me. We look kind of like a T. This frees all our hands and lets us do lots of playing while having intercourse.

Me on my side, legs pulled up. He kneels behind me and enters me. This frees our hands up, and lets him bend over and suck my breasts.

All of these can lead to orgasm, although a vibrator or fingers speed up the process. Have fun.

Hi Jen,

When my wife was pretty far along, we found one that worked for us. She would lie on her side and bend one knee (pointing it toward the ceiling), then I would straddle her bottom leg and enter her from sort of semi-kneeling position. We could see each others faces and the inside of my thigh would stimulate her clitoris. It's also not a lot of work...which is the best part.

Good luck.
Scott.

Ya know what I personally found interesting? These ideas/suggestions are actually helpful when it comes to certain other physical problems too. For instance, when I have one of my bad back days, we can't really dig into our routine(s) that we have so much fun with, so experimenting becomes the only choice sometimes.

DH and I tried the couch out again for fun..And OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD! I think that the couples in China could hear me..I didn't mean to be so loud, but damn if it didn't feel sensational...We've been trying all different sorts of positions that allow for us to be close yet not put so much pressure on the baby.
