If you’re ready to try for a baby, congratulations! This is no doubt a very special time, but any mom who’s been in your position will know that the journey from thinking about getting pregnant to getting pregnant can be a bit of a rollercoaster.

Understanding how pregnancy changes libido and learning the safe ways to engage in sex during pregnancy can help pregnant moms stay close to their partners while preparing for baby’s arrival.
