Remaining intimate during pregnancy is a problem for some mothers-to-be, and this is for several reasons. First, a lot of pregnant women feel like they are not as attractive as they used to be. They feel like they look overweight, like their bodies are not as attractive, like they are swollen, like they are retaining water, like they eat all the time… needless to say, a set of these kinds of feelings would prevent anyone from wanting to be intimate. However, you have to realize that this is not the truth.

As a woman, you might gain weight being pregnant. Also, you might have a bigger tummy (duh, there is a baby in it!). Also, you might feel like being close with someone while pregnant is weird because there is like a baby there now, and you might feel like it is awkward or even wrong because of the baby.

Well, here are a few things to remember about sex while you are expecting. First off, pregnant women need sex just as much, if not even more, than women who are not. There is a reason why you need it… it is good for you. It can help you feel prettier, it can help you reduce your stress level, and the happier you are during pregnancy, the better off your baby will be. So, being intimate during pregnancy is a good thing for your baby, and for you (just so long as you keep it safe, and you don’t do anything dangerous for you or your baby).

Also, being pregnant does not make you look overweight. You are still sexy, you are still exciting, and you are still you. Your guy will understand this, and probably thinks that you are even hotter than ever! So, don’t lie to yourself by saying that he would never want to be with you while you are pregnant… even if he does not say it often, he really loves the changes that are taking place in your body right now.
