AT WHAT STAGES OF THE PREGNANCY WOULD IT BE MOST RECOMMENDED?
During the first trimester, a woman’s sexual desire tends to decrease and this is related to nausea and vomiting that usually occur at this time. In men, the desire is usually maintained the same as in the preconceptional stage. 👨
During the second trimester, pregnancy usually increases a woman’s libido or sexual desire 👩 as a result of the hormonal changes that the mother experiences in this period. As for them, there is usually a decrease in libido because there is a fear of harming their partner or the baby.
In the third trimester, a woman’s sexual desire decreases again and this is mainly due to the discomfort, weight and fatigue of this last stage. 🤰 The same is true for men, in whom a fear of injuring the baby or inducing premature labor increases.
