Sex is possible during all stages of pregnancy, and it can be super-hot, yes, you read right, but that’s only if you’re doing it right.
It is a must for you to enjoy sex even when pregnant and you know what? Pregnant women are almost always ‘wet.’ Yes, you heard right.
Being pregnant doesn’t mean you have to deny yourself certain pleasures like sex.
That’s why WuzupNigeria have highlighted 4 benefits of having sex during pregnancy.
1. Orgasms Can Be Intensified
Many women have stronger orgasms during pregnancy, which tend to increase their sexual satisfaction and reduce stress levels. During the second trimester, hormones and a boost of blood flow can significantly increase sex drive. Chemicals released in the brain after an orgasm can help ease pain and increase immunity.
2. Sex Is a Great Workout
When you are sexually active, you are continuously working out and burning calories, which can help lower blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause many different issues during pregnancy (as well as create problems for men and women at any age). After a bedroom session, you may find that you also fall asleep quicker and have a more relaxing night of sleep.
3. Improved Labor and Recovery Time
Orgasms are contractions of your pelvic muscles, which strengthens them, helping to ease labor pains and improving bladder control to avoid leaks or urination during pregnancy. Stronger pelvic muscles can also lead to a quicker recovery after giving birth.
4. Enhanced Self-Confidence
Changes in your body and fluctuating hormones can lead to feeling differently about your body. Many women begin to feel unattractive during pregnancy. Frequent sexual intercourse with your partner can help boost your self-esteem and make you feel like yourself again.
