Pregnancy isn’t always a walk in the park. I experienced nausea that felt like a relentless rollercoaster during my first trimester. By the time I hit the third trimester, my belly felt like it was lodged in my throat, leading to heartburn that was nothing short of unbearable. Not to mention the agonizing ligament pain with every step I took, and those leg cramps that left me immobilized for hours.
Yet, amidst the discomfort, I stumbled upon a hidden gem: some of the most mind-blowing orgasms of my life. Seriously, they were phenomenal.
It surprises me how little we discuss this aspect of pregnancy. I completely understand the hesitation. Initially, the surge of intense sexual desire during my pregnancy was bewildering. I was growing a human! The whole experience felt so clinical, especially when I read statements like “This week, your baby’s brain is developing.” Plus, the thought of intimacy while a baby was literally in the mix felt rather strange.
However, it seems our bodies are wired for a heightened sense of sexuality during pregnancy, thanks to hormones. With an influx of estrogen, blood flow to your genitals and uterus increases, and you can also thank estrogen for those beautiful, curvy breasts. Add to that a significant surge in progesterone, which gives you that radiant glow and a more relaxed vibe (and yes, more breast growth).
But the real star of the show is oxytocin, often referred to as “the love hormone.” Its levels rise dramatically throughout pregnancy, enhancing feelings of happiness and arousal while also facilitating the contractions and release experienced during orgasms. The result? Some of the most intense, pleasurable experiences you could imagine.
I’ve heard from friends that pregnancy was the first time they experienced multiple orgasms, and I can confirm that my own experiences left me in tears of joy. So why are we not shouting this from the rooftops?
I recognize that for some, discussing sexuality during pregnancy feels taboo. There are concerns about miscarriage, premature labor, or potential harm to the fetus, but the truth is that sex and orgasms during pregnancy are generally safe unless there are specific medical concerns (always consult your healthcare provider about any worries you might have).
The reality is, the incredible orgasms available during pregnancy are something we should celebrate. Women should feel empowered to embrace pleasure during this unique time. Pregnancy can be physically demanding and emotionally taxing, so why not focus on the perks rather than just the sacrifices we make for our little ones?
So, ladies, when you find yourself not battling morning sickness, struggling with sciatic pain, or feeling overly constipated, take a moment to revel in the ability to experience pleasure like never before. It’s a gift just for you, and you absolutely deserve it. And when you reach that point of ecstasy, soak it all in—it might just be the universe’s way of compensating for the inevitable dry spell that often follows childbirth.
