You're bloated, you're nauseous, you're retaining water and you're not feeling particularly sexy. All of those symptoms don't mean that your sex drive is gone or that your partner's is either. Here are some important points to remember: It is important to continue your physical relationship through your pregnancy and, although this surprises many women and men, it is safe to engage in sex during pregnancy.
How far along in the pregnancy can you continue to make love? Through the ninth month! You and your partner may have to improvise positions, and you will have to remember to be gentle. Also, your baby is oblivious to your lovemaking.
The point is that in most cases sex is safe in pregnancy, however, there are certain conditions in which your doctor may tell you that you cannot have sex. Your doctor may tell you to abstain from sex if you have an unusual placental position, or if you are having a certain high risk pregnancy, which pre-disposes you to pre-term labor. Make sure that you ask your doctor. If your doctor tells you that no sex is allowed, you can still do a lot of things together, they include, touching, holding and keeping a warm enriching relationship.
Some women will find that their sex drive significantly increases during their pregnancy, while others will experience a decreased interest in sex. The same holds true for fathers. The most important thing here is to be open. Talk freely with your partner, and continue to build upon your warm, healthy relationship.
