Enjoy sex during pregnancy

October 4, 2006 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

As long as both you and your spouse are willing, it is generally okay to continue having sex right into late pregnancy. However, the missionary position may be uncomfortable for your spouse at this time because of the pressure on her stomach. You can resolve the problem by trying out some creative positions.

  • Spoon: Your spouse may find this position particularly relaxing during advanced pregnancy. She lies on her side, slightly curled up, while you lie around her facing her back. You can enter her from behind, between her thighs. This way, there is no pressure on her belly and the penetration is shallow.
  • Woman on top: Your spouse may prefer this position because it allows her to control the degree of penetration. This position is ideal throughout pregnancy.
  • Side by side: Here, you and your spouse lie facing each other while you put a leg over her and enter from the front. Alternatively, your partner may have to pull up her leg to make space for you. This position may be tiring her, especially during advanced pregnancy.
  • Hands and knees: In this position, your spouse gets down on her knees and bends forward to support herself on her palms, with the hands held straight down. There is no pressure on her belly, though in advanced stages, it may rest on the bed. However, the belly’s weight may make this a difficult position for your spouse to maintain.
  • Edge of bed: Your spouse lies facing upward on the bed, with legs spread out and the soles of her feet on the floor. You can stand on the floor and bend over to enter her. You may need to control your thrusts to suit your spouse’s comfort levels.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews

Decoding Dad’s Mental Load with Zach Watson
byPaul Banas

In this episode of Great Dad Talks, guest Zach Watson dives deep into the often-misunderstood topic of “mental load” in modern partnerships and parenting. Zach, known for his educational and relatable takes on invisible labor in relationships, shares how the mental and emotional workload disproportionately impacts women—often in ways that go unrecognized by men.

Whether you’re struggling with household challenges, feeling disconnected from your partner, or just want to strengthen your role as a dad and partner, this episode is for you.
