Rated for coziness, not karma sutra. You're welcome.
Let’s get one thing straight: when you’re pregnant — especially mid-second trimester — you’re glowing, maybe horny, maybe not, definitely snacky, and your body is undergoing more plot twists than a reality TV finale. So when it comes to sex? We’re not here for Cirque du Soleil. We’re here for cozy, supported, belly-friendly vibes that say, “Yes, this is happening... but like, can I still keep one leg on the pillow?”
This isn’t the Karma Sutra. This is the Kinda Comfy Sutra. Your guide to getting down without pulling a groin muscle or needing a chiropractor on speed dial. Because spoiler alert: sexy can still be soft, and comfort is the new lingerie.
“You’re not fragile — but you’re also not auditioning for Olympic partner acrobatics.”
Important Note: Communication = Hot
Before we even dive in (pun intended), let’s get this out there: talk to your partner. About what feels good, what doesn’t, what’s off limits, and what’s “try it and see.” You’re navigating a new body and new hormones — things are shifting (literally), and flexibility isn’t just physical. Emotional connection? Still top-tier foreplay.
Let’s Rate These Positions, Shall We?
1. Side-Lying Cuddle (aka The Preggo Spooning Special)
Comfort rating: 10/10
This is the holy grail of second trimester sex. You’re on your side, your belly’s supported by pillows or your trusty Emamaco leggings (yes, they’re sexy, don’t fight it), and your partner is behind you. Minimal pressure,
easy access, maximum cuddles."Like sex, but also like being held emotionally."
2. Missionary (with Mods)
Comfort rating: 7.5/10
This classic gets a remix in trimester two. You’ll need a pillow under your hips or back to slightly elevate and reduce belly pressure. Or swap in a wedge. Still intimate, still eye contact-y, just with a little ergonomic flair.
Bonus tip? Rock an Emamaco crop that supports your boobs while you focus on everything else. Because gravity is not your friend right now.
3. Cowgirl (aka You Take the Reins, Babe)
Comfort rating: 8.5/10
This one puts you in control — speed, angle, everything. Great if you’re feeling like a goddess and want to call the shots. Not great if your knees are saying absolutely not today. Grab a sturdy surface (like your partner’s thighs or a well-braced couch) and take breaks as needed.
Also: this is your excuse to go full glam. Braid the hair. Apply the glow serum. Feel that Emamaco energy even if you’re wearing nothing else.
4. Reverse Cowgirl (If You Want a Workout)
Comfort rating: 6/10 (but hotter in theory than execution)
Honestly? Looks good in movies, feels like a squat class in real life. Fun for switching things up but probably not your go-to unless you’ve already stretched and had a protein shake. Bonus if your partner gets the view — but don’t be afraid to say, “No thanks” after 45 seconds.

5. Edge of the Bed
Comfort rating: 9/10
This one is an underrated fave. You lie back on the edge of the bed (with pillows under your hips for support), and your partner stands or kneels. There’s space for your bump, less pressure, and an “elevated but relaxed” vibe.
Pro move? Drape a soft robe, pull on your Emamaco maternity shorts (easy to remove, just saying), and channel your inner maternity siren.
6. Doggy Style (But Pillow-Fort Edition)
Comfort rating: 7/10
This can work really well — but needs some adjustment. Kneel on a soft surface, rest your upper body on a stack of pillows or the headboard, and have your partner go slow. Communication is key. Great for deeper penetration, but if your back’s tight or your belly feels unsupported, skip it or save it for a stretchier day.
“Pillows. Are. Everything.”
Tips to Keep It Comfy (and Cute)
- Warm up with touch and convo — second trimester hormones are flirty, but your body still wants time.
- Use lubrication — estroge n levels fluctuate and dryness is not uncommon. Make it smooth, babe.
- Take breaks — even mid-session. Switch sides. Stretch. Snack?
- Laugh! Awkward angles and belly noises are part of the joy ride.
What to Wear Before (or After)?
Look, you might start with nothing — but there’s something deeply sexy about slipping into your Emamaco nursing crop or maternity shorts after. They’re soft, sculpted, and made for lounging with the post-romp smugness of a woman who’s got it all: pleasure, comfort, and an outfit that slays even horizontal.
And hey — they hold the bump with more love than your ex ever did.
So yes, sex in the second trimester can be wild, weird, wonderful, and very, very warm. But it doesn’t have to be a Cirque routine. Keep it soft. Keep it supported. Keep it Emamaco.
And always remember — you’re the main character here. Whether you're in a full embrace, a sideways cuddle, or just laying there giggling in a nursing crop, you’re doing it right.
Now go get cozy, get yours, and let those maternity leggings be the afterglow outfit they were born to be. 🔥
