Women confess about sex during pregnancy

Many women fear that having sexual intercourse during pregnancy endangers the health of the baby. That's not true! Having sex during pregnancy is normal, but few women talk about this. However, in a study carried out in Portugal and published in professional circles "The Journal of Sexual Medicine , " women confessed and told the truth about sex during pregnancy.

Making love during pregnancy is normal, healthy and necessary. Most couples have an active sex life unless there is any declared risk for pregnancy , multiple fetuses ( multiple pregnancy ) or risk of preterm birth . If a pregnancy that develops normally do not have to deprive yourself of the pleasures of love. Sex during this stage can fully enjoy and strengthens the bond between you and your partner.

This is an issue that does not talk too much with your friends by shame, or if you do not know to what extent they will tell the truth. Therefore, a group of scientists in Portugal decided to interview 188 women who had just given birth (between 17 and 40 years), anonymously, to learn the truth about what women think and what they do with your sex life during the months of gestation.

For some reason, people respond more freely when they keep their identity anonymous.

Here are the curious results of the study:

1. Almost all women said they had vaginal intercourse during pregnancy.

2. 20% of women reported having masturbated, 38% said they had engaged in oral sex giving or receiving and 7% reported anal penetration .

3. The frequency of sexual intercourse did not decline until the third quarter, although, interestingly, 10% of women reported being more sexually active during the third quarter than during the first months

4. Almost 40% of women said they had lost sexual desire, and 50% said they found the equally satisfying sex. However, 28% said they did not find as satisfying as sex before becoming pregnant.

5. 42% said they feel sexy and sensual. However, 75% said their partner found them equally desirable at this stage.

6. Approximately 15% of women were afraid that vaginal penetration will hurt their babies but still continued to have penetrative sex.
