Yes, pregnant people still get it on — here’s the unfiltered truth.

You’re 20 weeks in, your boobs are doing their own thing, your hormones are having a party, and suddenly someone implies your sex life is on pause? Honey. Let us grab the body oil and clear some myths.

Just because you're pregnant doesn’t mean sexy-time gets locked in a drawer until postpartum. In fact, for many women, the second trimester is the perfect blend of feeling good, looking lush, and being just hormonal enough to want to rip someone’s clothes off… and then cry about it 10 minutes later. It’s all part of the charm.

But no one really talks about the real experience. The awkward moments. The unexpected adjustments. The positions that work (and don’t). So let’s dive into the bumpin’-and-grindin’ side of pregnancy — unfiltered, fabulous, and totally safe.

“Your sex drive didn’t disappear — it just came back wearing maternity leggings and craving pickles.”

The second trimester: where sexy returns

For many mamas, the first trimester is about nausea, fatigue, and the energy level of a slug on a hot day. But once you hit trimester two? Your libido may just rise from the dead like a phoenix in stretchy pants.

Increased blood flow? Check. Hypersensitive nipples? Oh yeah. A belly that’s clearly housing a future icon but not quite in-your-face yet? Perfection. Your body is ready. Your partner’s interested. And suddenly, you’re wondering: can I still be the queen of the bedroom when I’ve got a foot wedged under my rib?

(Answer: absolutely.)

Pregnancy sex myths that need to die immediately

• Myth: Sex will hurt the baby — Nope. Baby is chilling in a deluxe amniotic hot tub. They’re not involved.
• Myth: Orgasms cause preterm labor — Also no. Unless you’re at risk (placenta previa, preterm labor history), orgasms are safe and, dare we say, encouraged.
• Myth: Your partner thinks it’s weird — Actually, they’re probably into it. If anything, they’re just worried about squishing you. (Spoiler: they won’t.)

Let’s talk positions, baby

Missionary might not be your go-to anymore. And anything involving deep bending, belly-squishing, or Olympic-level flexibility? Hard pass. But that doesn’t mean sexy has to stop. It just means you get creative.

Here are a few pregnancy-friendly go-tos:

• Spooning: Cozy, intimate, and bump-safe. Bonus: very nap-adjacent.
• Side-by-side scissor: Requires communication, but hits all the right angles without pressure.
• You on top: Total control. Adjust as needed. Also, you look amazing.
• Edge of the bed: Practical, powerful, and lets gravity help.

Real talk: what might actually happen

• You might laugh. A lot. Pregnancy sex is funny. Things jiggle, positions evolve, and bodily sounds happen.
• You might get emotional. Hormones don’t care what’s on the agenda.
• You might get interrupted — by baby kicks. (Yes, they time it perfectly.)
• Your boobs may leak. It’s fine. No one died from a nipple surprise.

Also, there’s no shame in saying “not tonight”. Some days you feel like a sexy siren. Other days, you're a sweaty nesting goblin in an Emamaco crop and nothing else. Both are valid. Both are iconic.

Self-love counts too, babe

Whether you’re partnered or solo, don’t forget about you. Masturbation during pregnancy is safe and healthy. It helps with sleep, mood, and that built-up tension that even snacks can’t fix.

It’s not about replacing anyone — it’s about reconnecting with your body, your pleasure, and your power. And if you’re rocking your " target="_blank">Emamaco maternity leggings while you do it? Extra points for peak self-care fashion.

Tips for keeping it spicy (without getting stuck)

• Talk it out: Let your partner know what feels good now. It may change daily.
• Laugh often: Nothing kills the mood like perfectionism. Let it be awkward and hot and funny.
• Stay lubed: Pregnancy hormones can dry things up. A little lube goes a long way.
• Dress for the vibe: Maternity wear that makes you feel like a snack? We know a brand.
