Very few events in the life of a woman come close to comparing with the joy of carrying a baby to full term and delivering safely. The gift of motherhood is about the greatest joy nature provides to women, hence every woman looks forward with excitement to giving birth to her own flesh and blood some day.
Yet it may surprise you to note that some women view pregnancy as a painful load they have to carry, while others think these bodily changes that come with conception is something miraculous, and to be cherished. But truth be told, pregnancy is not an easy journey to go through; gestation – the period from conception to birth, when a woman carries a developing foetus in her uterus can be stressful. Hence a number of special benefits have been made available to her by nature so as to help douse the stress that is likely to come with it.
Reduces Blood Pressure
Having sex during pregnancy aids in reducing blood pressure; love hormone, Oxytocin, is released during sex and it has been known to be a good stress reliever. So much of the accumulated tension will easily go away, and this keeps your blood pressure at a healthy level. Sex during pregnancy helps you to be more relaxed thereby reducing the risk of heart attack.
Helps You Get Sound Sleep
Pregnancy comes with all manner of experiences, and uneasiness – back pain, frequent urination, morning sickness, strange appetite/ cravings, and irritation. You might not be getting enough (good) sleep due to a growing foetus in the womb. But research shows that sex during pregnancy is a good way of getting sound sleep because you are bound to get a real good feeling and sense of relaxation after having an orgasm which easily comes during sex while you’re pregnant.
Pumps up Your Intimacy to Increase Bonding
There is improved bonding between the woman and her husband and it remains intact as a result of sex during pregnancy. So many people believe that women become very harsh and irritable during this period and want to stay away from them. Not totally correct; on the contrary, during pregnancy, oxytocin which is also known as the bonding hormone is released, and it actually promotes emotional attachment and makes pregnant women more compassionate, caring and trusting. Husband and wife draw closer to each other, and this certainly boosts their love life.
Helps Douse Your Pain
A number of hormones such as prolactin, oestrogen and progesterone, which heighten blood flow to the woman’s pelvic region, part of which is the vagina, aid the lubrication and sensitivity of the vital areas. Blood flow to the vagina is increased thereby aiding smooth and pain-free intercourse. Having sex when you are pregnant also aids ripening of the floor of the cervix, and this can lessen the distress of delivery.
You’ll Have Better Orgasms
Simply due to the high sensitivity level of your body’s nerve endings, your nipples and clitoris get filled with rushing blood and become distended. According to Nelson, because more oestrogen drawing blood rush to your pelvis, and so normally it becomes easier to attain orgasm, and they’re also longer lasting and stronger. Plus, women who had difficulty having an orgasm before becoming pregnant may now discover they no longer have that problem.
