Sex during your pregnancy: this will be different

One person can't even think about it while the other can't get enough. Not every pregnant woman is charmed by sexy time. If you're newly pregnant, your sex drive does indeed decrease. After a while, the desire for intimacy often returns. For some, the libido actually skyrockets. And that's not the only thing that changes... LotteLust tells you what to expect.

Less/more desire for sex

In the beginning of a pregnancy, most women have no desire for sex. That's not strange, because due to nausea and the sudden dose of hormones, you can feel out of sorts. The desire for sex often returns quickly and it can even become excessive. This is because your nipples, labia, uterus, and clitoris are better supplied with blood when you're expecting. The result is that these erogenous zones are more sensitive to stimuli. Do you notice that your sex life is on the back burner due to the pregnancy? Use these tips to increase sexual tension.

Bleeding during sex

It can be a bit of a shock... When you're pregnant, you might find a bit of blood between the sheets after a sexual encounter. Don't worry, as this is often harmless. It can happen because his love lance bumps against the cervix during sex, which is now extra sensitive. Prevent this by performing these positions for pregnant women.

Painful belly after an orgasm

You may have felt it yourself: when you reach a climax, your uterus contracts. If there's a baby in your belly, your uterus and cervix are extra sensitive. It can happen that you have a hard and painful belly after an orgasm. Also nothing to worry about. Place a warm water bottle on your lower abdomen to ease the pain. If the pain persists, always consult a doctor.
