Using Sex Toys During Pregnancy

Many are so afraid to use their sex toys or engage in a sexual intercourse during pregnancy because of the uncertainty if it’s safe or not. But although there are only a few researches about sex during pregnancy and most of it are directed on penile-vaginal sex rather than sex toys, most experts agree that it’s safe.

So it’s not yet time to hide adult novelty gifts such as vibrators, strap-ons and dildos yet. The fact is during child bearing, the developing baby is guarded by amniotic fluid with a thick mucus around it. But this doesn’t mean that there are no precautionary actions to be made. This article will let you know how to safely continue love making to yourself or your partner during pregnancy.

Some pregnant women are not comfortable having sexual acts, some on the other hand do so. Anxieties and anatomical changes may be what decrease their sexual desire. While those who enjoy it can be attributed to the fact that pregnancy increases blood flow to the perineum, which makes it for some to reach orgasm easier. But the increased blood circulation also furthers vaginal sensitivity and irritability. You can handle this by using adult novelty gifts like lubricants to avoid scrapes or any other small wounds –and don’t forget to trim your nails!

Since pregnancy is unique to every woman, it is prudent to consult your doctor first. Infections, low lying placenta, premature labor, early uterine changes, or other conditions may make your doctor say no to any sexual practice.

If you were given the go-ahead signal, you may enjoy sexual positions that put the least pressure to the abdominal area. Being passionate with yourself or with your partner actually relieves tension which is good for the mother and the baby. Adult novelty gifts such as dildos or any penetrative sex toys are generally safe to use but careful not to be forceful on thrusting motions. Use softer dildos as rigid ones increases risk of vaginal wall damage.

To avoid contracting infections, make sure to clean all toys for sex before usage. Once anal play is started, never switch to vaginal play. Instead, use your toys for vaginal stimulation first before switching. Thoroughly wash penetrative toys after use then completely dry it before placing it back in a clean and dry container.

Slight bleeding after sex when pregnant is normal. But it is wise to take extra precaution and notify your doctor accordingly.
