Pregnancy and sexuality: our advice

Whether you are in a relationship or not, whether it is your first pregnancy or your third, we strongly recommend that you plan a “babymoon”, a honeymoon just for you or the opportunity to add a little dose of self-care, relaxation and sensuality to your daily routine before the baby arrives, just to create beautiful pregnancy memories. Timing, ideas for rituals, we share with you our best advice to make the most of this new period of your life as a woman.

Fewer symptoms, more pleasure

Congratulations! You're pregnant. Hopefully, your progesterone and estrogen levels are starting to drop (after skyrocketing early in pregnancy) and the drowsiness, fatigue, and nausea are slowly fading away. You're getting used to your new body and starting to see your belly peeking out a little more each day.

For many women, this period tends to coincide with the end of the first trimester or the beginning of the second trimester, usually around the 10th week, when we feel a little boost of energy and the probability and therefore the anxiety of having a miscarriage - which still affects 1 in 4 women - drops considerably.

A phase conducive to sensuality and sexual desire

This rather pleasant little period is a bit like a honeymoon during pregnancy. It's the perfect time to focus on relaxation by taking more naps or sleeping in on weekends or by taking warm baths (not longer than 10 to 20 minutes all the same) to relax all the muscles in your body.

If you are in a relationship and your libido is on the rise, this is also the ideal time to make room for more sensuality and complicity with your partner, in order to reconnect with each other in anticipation of the major upheavals (especially in priorities) that will soon occur with the arrival of the baby.
