There are lots of benefits of having sex while pregnant, and some women even say it's more enjoyable when they're expecting.
But in the later months when the bump is getting big, many couples find their old positions aren't that comfortable anymore.
Don't worry, according to the parenting website BabyCentre there are lots of other things to try.
Try sitting on your partner's lap when he's sitting on a chair - but make sure it's nice and sturdy!
This means you can control the penetration by standing or squatting, so you can do whatever is comfortable.
You can also try straddling your partner when he's lying down, either facing him or facing away.
According to BabyCentre: "This position has been shown to be associated with higher levels of sexual satisfaction in pregnant women."
Sit on the table and get your other half to stand in front of you and wrap your legs around him.
When your bump starts getting bigger simply lean back a bit so it doesn't get in the way.
Sit on a cushion if it's a hard surface so it's not too uncomfortable.
Alternatively you can try bending over it and getting your partner to stand behind you
As well as keeping his weight off your bump, by resting your leg on a pile of pillows he'll only be able to penetrate lightly which most pregnant women find more comfortable
Lots of women say this position is great for the last few months of pregnancy as there's no weight on the back or pelvis.
If the peneration is too deep, get him to put a pillow between your bottom and his lower back.
Lots of couples love this sex style because it allows the male partner to go deep. And any position that offers more depth will increase your chances of having a baby, Jennifer Landa, MD, an ob-gyn at BodyLogicMD in Orlando, tells Health.
“Doggie style may be a great position for trying to get pregnant because you have excellent depth of penetration, putting the head of the joystick right at the cervical opening—which means that sperm are released in an optimal position for travel through the cervix,” says Dr. Landa.
