Pay her compliments

All women, whether pregnant or not, love to get compliments from their partners. But for an expectant mom dealing with increasing weight gain or skin pigmentation, it would mean a lot to be praised by her husband. If physical changes were not enough, pregnant women are also subject to mood swings which can again leave them feeling down in the dumps. At such times a sincere compliment from a partner can go a long way in making her feel great about herself and thus put her in the mood for love. In fact some men find a swelling body in their wives pretty sexy during this time. And even if you don’t, choose an aspect of your wife’s looks which seem undeniably nicer than before, like her glowing skin or her thick lustrous locks and compliment her about it.

Give her a massage

The physical changes a body undergoes during pregnancy leaves it vulnerable to various kinds of aches and pains. And to a wife who has to endure this for nine whole months, a leisurely backrub or a foot massage is likely to mean far more than a bouquet of roses or an expensive gift. After all touch therapy is increasingly being recognized as having genuine pain-reducing powers and if it comes from a loved one, what better way to feel romanced and pampered?

Cater for her cravings

Very likely during her pregnancy, your wife has surprised you with an intense and completely unaccountable craving for a particular food or drink. Some mothers-to-be have been known to polish off buckets of ice cream while other simply need to have a pickled cucumber at the middle of the night. While all these may seem rather bewildering to you and being woken up at two in the night to go out to get some ice-cream rather excessive, decide to indulge your wife anyway. Remember it is not easy being pregnant and going out of your way to supply her crazy cravings will make her feel that you both are in this together and in the process make her feel loved and cared for.

Do all you can to help

Before your wife got pregnant, it is likely that she had no problem doing her share of the household chores and still be ready for love. But now that she is pregnant, it is only natural for your wife to feel exhausted - both physically and mentally - most of the time – a situation which is hardly conducive to romance. So as far as you can, take over your wife’s responsibilities at home. Apart from feeling grateful for your considerate attitude, she will also have more energy for love and better able to reciprocate your overtures.

Take pleasure in intimacy

If you want some deeper physical contact with your wife but are unable to go the whole way because of her pregnancy, explore the nuances of a more sensual instead of a merely sexual relationship. Acts of intimacy like cuddling, kissing and caressing can spice up your married life without any danger to your wife or the unborn baby. In fact stroking your wife swelling belly can make for a highly sensual experience for both of you. Alternatively you can have a long romantic session in the bathtub with both of you soaping each other or getting frisky amidst the bubbles. Apart from the fact that all women look forward to such moments of intimacy with their partners, your pregnant wife will love knowing that you think her attractive enough to get close to her and this will surely put her in the mood for some active romance.

Have sex but carefully

Most doctors believe that a pregnant woman can continue to have sex as long as she feels comfortable and there are no other complications like bleeding or a history of miscarriages. Usually the woman on top and side by side positions are safest for sex during pregnancy since these involve the least amount of pressure on the woman’s abdomen. Moreover with the woman being above her partner or lying by his side, she is able to move her body as she is comfortable with the added advantage of being able to control the angle and depth of penetration. The edge of the bed position is another favorite of couples who are coping with an expanding belly due to a pregnancy. No matter what position you decide to explore, make sure that you are not going against medical advice and that above all your wife is alright with it. To be doubly sure, ask your doctor about what to avoid – oral or anal sex in some cases of pregnancy – and what precautions to take if you and your wife want to keep having sex.

Accept the changes

The best way to romance a pregnant wife would be to let her know that you are right by her side through this roller-coaster journey. During pregnancy, a woman’s body is going through an incredible number of changes and an expanding belly is usually the last of them. In the early stages, the hormonal fluctuations caused by a pregnancy can leave a woman fatigued, nauseated and with extra sensitive breasts and nipples - hardly the right conditions to put one in the mood for love. On the other hand, increased vaginal lubrication and engorgement of the genital area may help some women to experience orgasms like never before. Besides these, the lack of birth control and - if the couple have been trying for a while - the return to sex as pleasure as opposed to sex as procreation may make the experience more fulfilling than ever. So accept the fact that your wife may feel different from one day to another and then do your best to make her feel pampered and special on this most special of all experiences of womanhood.
