However, here is a quick look at the best sex positions for pregnant women, what to avoid and how best to stay comfortable during this period.

Classic Cowgirl Position (Women On Top)

This is one of the best sex positions for pregnant women because it does not put any pressure whatsoever to your belly and it enables you to control the depth of penetration, speeds, body movement and clitoral stimulation.

This type of sex position is a satisfying spot for late pregnancy or third trimester since it allows you to control your pace and comfortably move around to find the best angles. But when your belly has gotten bigger than you ever thought, you could find it tough to manoeuvre into this position.  

By sitting up and straddling your partner, you have the advantage of being in control, just rest your hands or forearms on the headboard to help support your weight. Many pregnant women prefer this position during the third trimester, studies also revealed that pregnant women enjoyed increased sexual satisfaction from this position.

Cowgirl sex position can be done in the first, second and third trimester as a pregnant woman. 

Doggy/Rear entry

Rear entry is another sensual way a pregnant woman can comfortably enjoy sex during any trimester without any hitches. Although, the rear entry also known as doggy style is best during the last trimester when the belly is large enough to get in the way in forward-facing positions.

This type of sex position keeps pressure off of your stomach and allows the belly to be free and more comfortable to hold the extra weight on all fours. Your partner can enter from behind while using the other hand to stimulate the clitoris to attain orgasm.

To achieve this sex position is to pose yourself on all fours, using pillows to prop you up so as to be comfortable and have your partner enter you from behind or try standing with your hands against the wall, or having your partner sit on a chair with you sitting on his lap facing away from him.

There is no way you can not achieve this position, In a rear-entry position, you can be on your hands and knees or kneeling, or you and your partner can lay side by side (spooning). You can also use rear-entry positions while standing.

Since this sex position allows for deeper penetration, you may notice some spotting after sex during pregnancy, especially toward the end of the third trimester, when your cervix starts to soften but if you find it difficult to reach orgasm in this position, try adding manual clitoral stimulation.

Lying side by side is often the most comfortable sex position for pregnant women during the third trimester because it doesn’t require a lot of energy to manoeuvre. This position will help you to control thrust and keep weight off your belly you can look at each other face for added intimacy while having sex. But if you feel pressure on your low back, you can try tucking a pillow between your knees and have your partner lie behind you.

In this position, all you need to do is to lie down facing each other in a slight V-shape, with your heads farther apart, putting one leg up over your partner’s leg. He slips in by entering you from an angle. In a variation of this, you lie on your back and he on his side. Put your leg that's closest to him over his legs. He can enter you from the back and side, and still have his face next to yours.

Missionary Style 

During this period, missionary style or man on top is good for a quickie or spontaneous sex as long as your partner keeps his weight off you by supporting himself with his arms. This position is best during the first trimester and early second trimester but as the pregnancy progresses you may not be comfortable in this position anymore since you won't be able to lay on your back or withstand pressure on top of your abdomen.

As your belly grows and the position becomes more challenging, you can maintain this aspect of the position by rolling onto your side, similar to a spooning position because, in the late stages of pregnancy, the size of your belly may prevent the missionary position from being tolerable, even with support from pillows.

Edge Of The Bed

If you are not so comfortable with the missionary style, you can try moving to the edge of the bed by lying on your back on the bed facing up, then scooch down so that your bottom is at the edge of the bed and your legs are dangling down towards the floor. Thereafter you can have your partner kneel or stand in front of you to penetrate.

 This position, however, allows him to thrust more deeply, so you will have to tell him how gentle and slow you want him to be. Tucking a few pillows under your back can help relieve any pressure.

Spooning

This is another pregnancy sex position that can be very cosy yet intimate. This variation allows you to bolster intimacy by facing one another, which allows for more eye contact, kissing, romance and dirty talk. This sex position also keeps pressure off your belly.

This slow and sensual position allows you to be in a close and intimate position with your partner, Stimulating your clitoris with hands while entering from behind gives comfort, physical connection and less tension in the body due to the extra weight in the belly.

In this position, all you need to do is lie comfortably on your side curled in a C position with your partner facing your back curled around you and enter you from behind while both of you are lying on your sides. With a pillow between your knees, it will feel better for your back.

Standing Position

This is a perfect position throughout the pregnancy trimester, standing sex position is also a rear entry that boosts your pleasure quotient by making it easy for you or your partner to stimulate your clitoris with your hands. To accomplish this position, you need to place your palms on a sturdy wall and balance your leg firmly on the ground, then ask your partner to hold your waist and enter from behind 

You can also perform standing sex while leaning. Try using a wall, bed, table, or whatever happens to be nearby to brace yourself. Many women like standing sex positions during pregnancy because it allows shallow penetration and slow sex down. So to take the pressure off your back and belly use standing sex position. 

Reverse Cowgirl

To enjoy a switched-up sensation during your third trimester, the reverse cowgirl sex position is a goal to. This position allows you to sit on your partner and thrust as you wish and control the penetration due to the size of the belly. You can even place your arms behind you for support, as you shift your weight back toward your partner.
