Let’s be real: pregnancy is one of the most miraculous periods of our lives, but it’s also full of “unknowns.” Our bellies grow, our hormones change, and that famous question pops into our minds: “Could I hurt my baby?”

Especially when it comes to sex life, many couples retreat into a shell of silent anxiety. Some even drift apart from their partners just because of this fear. But I have great news for you: Take a deep breath and relax. Unless you have a specific medical restriction from your doctor, sex during pregnancy is not only safe, but it is also a wonderful way to strengthen your bond!

Your baby is perfectly safe inside that protective fluid (the amniotic sac) within the uterus. So, it is physically impossible for this intimacy in the outside world to harm your little guest.

So, how do we make this “comfortable” with growing bumps and changing body balance? Here are some position suggestions that will be a remedy for both you and your partner—safe, comfortable, and enjoyable!

1. You Are in Total Control: Woman on Top

This is the position where you get to say, “I’m in charge!” especially in the later months of pregnancy. Why? Because you adjust the speed and depth of the movement. Since there is absolutely no pressure on your belly, you will feel very comfortable both physically and psychologically. You can balance your weight by holding onto your partner’s shoulders or chest and enjoy the moment without getting tired.

2. A Favorite for Tired Moms-to-Be: Spooning (Side Lying)

Ideal for those days when you feel sluggish but still want to cuddle with your partner. You lie on your side, and your partner hugs you from behind. You can double the comfort by placing a small pillow under your belly. It’s a “low-effort” position that requires almost no energy from you, but it’s incredibly romantic. You can safely choose this right up until birth.

3. Face-to-Face Intimacy: The Scissors Position

If you want to maintain eye contact and stay comfortable, try the scissors position. In this position, where you face your partner and slightly intertwine your legs, your belly remains free on the bed. You might only need to say goodbye to this one in the very last weeks of pregnancy if moving becomes too difficult, but until then, enjoy it!

4. The Savior of the First Months: Doggy Style

This is a very comfortable option when your bump hasn’t grown too much yet. You are on your hands and knees, while your partner is behind you. Your partner is in control, but the golden rule here is “slow and steady”! A small warning: When your belly gets quite large, this position might put a strain on your back; when that time comes, it’s time to switch to other options.

5. For Couples Who Love Comfort: The Sofa (or Edge-of-Bed) Position

If your partner says, “I’m afraid of hurting you,” this is the position to reassure him. You lie on your back on the sofa or the edge of the bed, resting your legs on your partner’s shoulders or sides. Since there is no contact with your belly, your partner can approach you without worry.

6. For Those Who Stick to Classics: The Missionary Position (But Be Careful!)

You can continue with the classic position in the early stages of pregnancy. However, as your belly becomes more prominent, lying flat on your back might leave you breathless or create a feeling of pressure. If you can’t give it up, make sure your partner supports his weight on his arms and never presses down on your belly.

🌸 Finally, A Little Secret…

Remember, every pregnancy is like a fingerprint; it is unique to you. You are the one who knows best which position feels good for you. Don’t hesitate to get support from pillows and talk to your partner. Don’t be afraid to say, “I’m not comfortable right now, can we try this way?”

These are the last months you will spend alone with your partner before holding your baby in your arms. Enjoy it!
