Some of our fondest memories have been made between the sheets: that’s how amazing sex with my partner is!

Coz you know, why ruin the mood? Anyhow, here I am writing things I couldn’t tell him, things I’m pretty sure your partner needs to know too about pregnancy sex.

Pregnancy hormones did crazy things to me and I wanted my partner like all the damn time! Anything and everything about him turned me on. Even when I was working, I couldn’t stop myself from having wild thoughts.

2. But not really all the time

Sometimes my switch for sex used to shut down on its own, and I can’t really be blamed for it. Between rushing to the washroom for morning sickness and going through severe mood swings, I had no time to think of sex. And that was never my partner’s fault.

3. It only takes a second to change my mood

I had such wild crazy mood swings that I could be all turned on and ready to jump on my partner, but at the very next second, I could turn into cold turkey. My advice? Carpe diem: seize the moment, hubby.

4. I’m feeling experimental

My body went through so many changes that I realized I started liking different things in bed. I was all open to suggestions as long as there was room for an emphatic, ‘no way, not happening’.

5. I’m too sensitive right now

Certain parts of me hurt like crazy! My nipples used to pain and my clitoris was just way too sensitive for any rough action. It was sweet vanilla in bed for me all the way.

6. And a bit self-conscious

Pregnancy made me feel un-sexy a lot of times. Positions that were so familiar to me suddenly became strangers because I just didn’t know how to function my body. I felt pretty conscious of how I looked and sex became the last thing on my mind.

7. I don’t want to make the first move

Like I said, I felt really unsexy. It was impossible for me to jump up on my partner’s lap like I used to. I was constantly afraid the heavy me would smoosh him!

8. I can’t do all positions

Getting pregnant put a limit on my body. And while some positions felt awesome, others just didn’t work. A lot of them were plain awkward in fact. It took patience and a sense of humor to find the right ones.

9. I need compliments

Body image issues became so rampant for me that I needed positive reinforcement to feel sexy again! Getting showered with compliments would have really helped me at this time.

10. More foreplay, please

While my vagina became more sensitive than usual, it became super dry as well. It took a lot more turn-me-on this time. I started needing more foreplay than usual, and sometimes even a lube!

11. Sometimes, it was just wow

Honestly, sometimes pregnancy sex was even better for me than sex at other times! And I just want to thank my partner for it. I know at times he felt that he wasn’t doing the right thing, but believe me he was doing it right, alright!

So dear partner, I hope you read this and found out all that I wanted to tell you but couldn’t! Just wanted to thank you for being there through all of it and giving me some amazing times in the sack! I just wish you knew these things too.
