Gymnastics Not Required for Good Sex: Embrace Your New Adventure

Ah, pregnancy. That magical time when your body decides it's a grand idea to grow a whole new human while simultaneously turning you into an emotional, hormonal superhero. You're strong, you're glowing, and more often than not, you don't know whether to laugh or cry (thankfully, crying and laughing at the same time is totally on-brand). But let's get real for a second: just because you're growing a Tribeca-sized bump doesn't mean your sex life has to resemble a reality TV show with all drama and no action.

Let's face it – you've probably spent a few nights Googling, "can I still have sex in the missionary position while pregnant?" followed by "is the cowgirl position safe when you're as round as a hot air balloon?" Well, you're not alone, and guess what? Gymnastics are not required in the bedroom - leave the handstands to the professionals at Cirque du Soleil.

Pregnancy sex: It's like Twister—without the plastic mat and color-coordinated circles.

Let's break down some practical (and saucy) pregnancy sex positions that don't require you to audition for Cirque du Soleil. Get comfy – in more ways than one!

The Best 5 Pregnancy Sex Positions (Because the Wheel Has Already Been Invented)

1. Spooning – It's like the Netflix-and-chill of pregnancy sex. You'll keep it cozy while your belly gets the space it needs. You can also whisper sweet nothings into each other's ear or just randomly moan like your favorite movie star. Totally your call!
2. Side-by-Side Sci
   
   ssors – Now, at first glance, you might be thinking, "but I've got just the one pair!" Fear not, we're talking about a side-lying position where you both face each other like two ships running parallel courses on calm seas.
3. Woman on Top – Because now's the time to embrace your inner Beyoncé. You might not be running the world (yet), but you're definitely running this ride. This position keeps pressure off the belly, and you’re in control of pacing and depth.
4. The Reverse Cowgirl – It's like cowgirl's sassy cousin who went traveling in Europe and came back with a French accent. Bonus? You can pretend you're in a James Bond movie or simply count your spouse's freckles to take charge of your visual pleasures.
5. Sitting Positions – Find an inviting seat, and let your partner sit down, providing you the optimal means to rock and roll. Whether it's a soft chair, or your bed's headboard, it's time to get creative without needing Cirque du Soleil's agility.

And there you have it, the top sexual equivalent of "don't work harder, work smarter." But fear not if you're yearning for even less effort—check out the five positions we're adding to the "maybe next trimester" list.

And there you have it! Gymnastics optional, playfulness obligatory. Your bump is both a wonder and occasionally, a wonder-wedged in the way. But hey, remember, every part of this experience is unique. The great news is, there’s always a position or place that’ll get the best out of you both.

Give those positions a whirl or two, and let your imagination roam while keeping those acrobatics intentions at bay. And remember, keep it safe, consensual, and adventurous.

Pregnancy is literally the ultimate tandem skydive—you're both strapped in and going for a ride! Make it a beautiful, saucy one.

So mom-to-be, rock those hormones, laugh off the awkward, and remember: nobody’s expecting Simone Biles in the bedroom but every Simone has coffee (or lemonade) days. Oh, and those Emamaco's have got you covered, in case you missed the memo.

Glam it, slam it, and thank us later!

Here's to a second trimester that’s iron-fisted on fun and fabulousness! Until next time, stay cheeky, stay saucy, and keep strutting that bump like the unapologetic queen you are.
