For a long time (too long), the idea that sex and pregnancy don't mix was imposed on women, and in turn, on their partners. Today we know that, from a medical point of view, when there are no contraindications - and they are rare - sexual relations between parents during pregnancy pose no risk to the child, who is perfectly protected by the amniotic sac and a hermetically sealed cervix. On the contrary! Cuddles and pleasures, given and received, release endorphins which are analgesic (they soothe pain), anxiolytic (they reduce anxiety and stress) and relaxing, making for a well-deserved nap or night's sleep.
Pregnancy libido update
At this stage, it's worth remembering that sexual relations are fulfilling when they are fully consensual. However, throughout the 9 months of preparing and expecting a baby, the libido of the parents-to-be can change enormously.
Often non-existent in the first trimester due to intense female fatigue, it can exceed all expectations between the 3rd and 6th months of pregnancy, only to become more discreet and hide behind an increasingly bulky, rounded belly. Your breasts may be too sore to touch, your libido may remain at half-mast no matter what you do, you may be completely sucked into your new role, or your mother-to-be body may disturb your partner to such an extent that he or she is stopped in his or her tracks.
On the contrary, other women enjoy a blossoming sexuality throughout their pregnancy. So, for them and for all the others, for every moment of complicity and intimacy, Élhée has concocted a little pocket kamasutra, specially adapted for pregnant women, to slip into your bedside table.
