Many women experience an increased sex drive during pregnancy.

What is the reason of this?

Of course hormones! High levels of certain hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen, in your body during pregnancy may be the most likely culprits for an increase in sex drive during pregnancy. In addition to the hormones that raise your sex drive, the increased blood flow to help support your baby can also increase blood flow to the vulva, increasing the sexual pleasure felt during pregnancy.

Tips

Make your day! There isn't much advice we can give you on the way to lower your sex drive, aside from considering something completely unattractive. But for most pregnancies, sex is completely safe and healthy throughout the pregnancy. Some pregnancy-related complications may mean sex during pregnancy isn't safe, but in the absence of them, the choice is yours if you're in that mood!
