Q&A: What are some great sex positions we could try during my pregnancy?

My belly keeps getting in the way. What are some great sex positions we could try during my pregnancy?

The Bump Expert

It can be frustrating when your tried-and-true lovemaking positions (like the old standby, missionary) don't work, but there are plenty more, like:
REAR-ENTRY We don't love the term "doggie-style," but you know what we're talking about. You can also stand slightly bent over with one knee on a chair and your guy behind you.
SPOONING Lying in bed with your guy behind you can be intimate, and you don't need to use a lot of strength.
SEATED Have your guy sit in a chair. Sit on his lap, either facing away from him or sideways so you can have eye contact without your belly in the way.

Q&A: What are some great sex positions we could try during my pregnancy?

My husband says that he "wants to see the belly too". Some men find pregnant bellies quite attractive. While this might seem odd, I think they are wired that way so that when they get their wives pregnant the attraction doesn't fade. If it did, we'd all be screwed - or not. lol But for me, being out to "here" pregnant can make some positions very uncomfortable. TIP: Orgasm first, it makes things lubed up and stretched out and puts you more in the mood so you don't notice the discomfort as much. ;)

if he wishes to see your belly as part of the experience, try rear entry positions in front of a mirror. This may be the most comfortable position during the end stages of pregnancy. and remember, when you are tired of being pregnant, sperm helps to ripen the cervix for labor....so there is something in it for you too ;)

Me with my butt on the edge of the bed and a pillow behind my back and him standing up works well for us.

I'm 7 months preg and we found out that it works best if my hubby lays on his back and I put my butt against his hips and have him enter me with my right leg over his right hip and my left leg between his legs. Then i slide my body a way from his just a bit and it feels as great as doggy or reverse cowgirl.

girl on top was the best for us, so you can control how deep and the speed to. my husband liked seeing the belly to.

I think you can try to talk to one of those escorts London I bet they know many positions and for a good price they can assist if you can do it.I know that it sounds a bit weird but sex is not something we should be ashamed of.
