You might think having sex while pregnant isn't safe but in truth, being pregnant shouldn't put a damper on the amount of sex you should be having — as long as the pregnancy is progressing normally. 

Not only does pregnancy make you glow all sorts of amazing, but the changes to hormone levels – particularly to rise of estrogen and progesterone – can actually boost libido, too.

Plus, the hormonal shift often boosts blood flow to pelvic region, increasing vaginal lubrication and intensifying the sensitivity of the pleasure zone and nipples.

Of course, there are certain positions deemed more comfortable and enjoyable as your pregnancy progresses as Tracey Cox, sex, body language and relationship expert, and Lovehoney ambassador explains.

*Before sex, speak to your gynaecologist and check on your pregnancy's progress. Bleeding or spotting during sex may occur as the capillaries in your cervix can often swell and get irritated during sex. If this happens, inform your gynaecologist.
