Explanation

During pregnancy, it's not unusual to experience some pain during sex. This can be due to changes in your body as the baby grows. Here are some things you can try to help:

  1. Talk to Your Partner: Share how you're feeling so you both understand each other better.
  2. Try Different Positions: Some positions might be more comfortable than others.
  3. Use Lubrication: Sometimes, using a lubricant can help reduce discomfort.
  4. Go Slow: Taking things slowly can make it more comfortable.

Remember, every pregnancy is different. If pain during sex is bothering you a lot, it's a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider who can give you advice specific to your situation.
