Making love in this way when you are expecting

​By a Staff Reporter: “Spooning is awesome,” study says. It’s a comforting position where the partner holds and usually penetrates the pregnant partner from behind while lying down, both facing away from each other. But whether you’re penetrating or not, always touch the clitoris as that’s where the pleasure center is. In later trimesters, it may be comforting to hold the belly. Trimester: Always good, but best during second and third as this position can help put less pressure on the belly.
