Benefits Of Sex During Pregnancy by chrisbrain(m): 9:22am On Dec 19, 2015
It might look awkward having sex when pregnant, but hey, it's not awkward the way your seeing it. It's more beneficial than you've ever think of. Making love during pregnancy boasts a number of big health benefits. Here's why a little extra alone-time with your hubby can do your body and your baby good:


Improves orgasms: 

Since your body’s nerve endings are more sensitive, your nipples and clitoris are engorged, and there’s more estrogen drawing blood flow to your pelvis, it’s usually easier to achieve orgasm and they’re also longer and stronger,

Blood flow intensifies your sexual desire. In fact, some women achieve a real orgasm for the first time ever during pregnancy!


Burns calories:

 Sex is the most fun way to stay fit you’ll burn 50 calories or more in 30 minutes of love-making.


Lowers blood pressure:

Sex has been found to lower blood pressure a good thing for both of you, since high blood pressure is linked to the pregnancy complication preeclampsia.

NB: Although your blood pressure may be lower right after having sex, it’s only temporary so the cure isn’t sex all the time.


Reduces stress:

Oxytocin, the love hormone that your body releases when you have an orgasm, can help to negate some stress and also help you sleep better.


Improves sleep:

Sex is relaxing so it helps you sleep better.


Boosts happiness:

Endorphins(neurotransmitter involve in mood changing) are being released during orgasm  which make both you and the baby happier and more relaxed.


Increases intimacy:

Having frequent sex now will help strengthen the intimate relationship and bond you have with your partner and establish a healthy habit for the future.


Speeds up postpartum recovery:

Orgasms during pregnancy prepare the pelvic floor for childbirth, which in turn speeds postpartum recovery.


An easier labor and recovery:

Having an orgasm increases the contractions in your pelvic floor, which help to strengthen the muscles you’ll need for labor and after delivery.


Improved self-esteem:

With all the changes that happen during pregnancy, it can feel that your body is no longer your own. Yet having sex can help restore your body confidence and positive feelings about yourself.


Improved connections:

Having frequent sex now will help strengthen the intimate relationship and bond you have with your partner and establish a healthy habit for the future.
