    The 6 Most Common Fears About Sex During Pregnancy

    Sex during pregnancy can be all kinds of things from totally nonexistant to ragingly hot to sporadic and so-so. Some women find they have an increased sex drive during pregnancy, some feel numb. Some partners love the new curves, some are weirded out by the pregnancy or worried sex will hurt the baby. Is your pregnancy easy? Are you vomiting? What trimester is it? There are so many factors going into the way pregnant sex pans out, I don't want to generalize. But I will say that all expecting couples have some kind of anxiety about sex during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a physical and emotional upheaval, there's no way it won't affect your sex life. Here are 6 of the most common concerns about sex during pregnancy. - By Ceridwen Morris

      It might hurt
      Usually pregnant women don't find sex painful, per se, but since pregnancy-- especially early and late pregnancy-- is rife with "discomforts" it's not surprising that some positions are no fun. So be creative: What can you lean on? Grab another pillow. Get some lube. Bring in some toys. This is an opportunity to grow and adapt as a couple. Maybe you'll discover some new awesome way to do it (for now).
