Sex and Romance During Pregnancy

Feeling romantic? Contrary to what some people believe, feeling sexy and being pregnant are not mutually exclusive! Your doctor can tell you what is and isn’t safe during pregnancy.

If you’re feeling sexy, enjoy and give in to it! As long as you’re following doctor’s orders, there’s no reason to sit around wishing. Even during those times when you feel a little too bulky or tired for sex, though, there’s always room for romance. This is a great time to step back and remember what made you fall in love to begin with. Quiet walks, candlelight dinners, massages, handholding and foot rubs are all perfectly lovely, easy, and free ways to warm up your relationship.

Of course, there is no right or wrong way to “do pregnancy.” If you don’t feel romantic, that’s all right. Get some sleep and see if you feel differently tomorrow. Remember, at your core, you’re a romantic and sexual being, even if at times you don’t feel like it. Be open to possibilities, and let some of those delicious feelings have some room from time to time!
