Benefits of Sex Positions for Pregnant Couples

Support: Expecting mothers need extra support for their expanding bellies (especially towards the end of their gestation). Some of these sex positions such as spooning poses have excellent support for her large stomach.

Access: Many of these sex positions allow gravity to gently draw her belly back away from her pelvis so that her husband has better access during foreplay or intercourse.

Reduced Pressure: Several of these sex poses allow the husband to make love to his wife without putting any weight on her baby bump.
