Positions During Pregnancy

The goal is to prevent excessive pressure on the belly and to restrict penetration as required by the particular partners. Some of the positions below are popular positions for sex during pregnancy. Woman on top: takes the pressure off of the woman's abdomen and allows her to control the depth and frequency of thrusting. Woman on back: like the missionary, but with less pressure on abdomen or uterus. The woman lies on her back and raises her knees up towards her chest. The partner kneels between her legs and enters from the front. A pillow is placed under her bottom for added comfort. Sideways: also keeps pressure off of her abdomen while supporting her uterus at the same time. Spooning: very popular positions to use during the late stages of pregnancy; allowing only shallow penetration and relieves the pressure on the stomach. Sitting: she mounts the sitting partner, relieving her stomach of pressure. From behind: allowing her to support stomach and breasts.
