What are the best positions for sex during pregnancy?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/26/2023

The best position for sexual intercourse during pregnancy is one in which both partners are comfortable. However, care should be taken not to put pressure on the woman's abdomen and the woman should avoid lying on her back, especially when the belly has reached a large size, to avoid pressure on the blood vessels and organs.

Some women feel more comfortable lying on top or on their side with their partner behind them.
