SEXUALITY AND EROTICISM DURING PREGNANCY - A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE

Hey there,

Ever wonder how pregnancy and sexuality fit together for a woman? Read on for my personal diary-style thoughts from the time of my pregnancy, of how I was experiencing myself as an erotic being while pregnant.

“I am pregnant. ✨

So it’s been a few months and I have gone through multiple stages.

Total disbelief. I had a hard time believing that it had happened to me. A part of me created a story that getting pregnant would not be easy (I am 37 at the end of the day). Well, I know so many stories of women who had difficulty getting pregnant, and so I thought I would be one of them too. We didn’t try or plan, but we weren’t careful either. But my body was ready. She is so strong and I am so grateful for all the years of nourishment and exercise and healthy lifestyle and my sexuality work I have done.

Deep gratitude for this miracle. We calculated the exact day of conception. It actually happened right on the Beltane holiday, which is a pagan holiday of fertility and the first days of summer. And, it was also Russian Orthodox Easter. It was indeed a magical night, full of love, devotion, and rapture. And it was intentional for both of us!

A very accelerated stepping into being responsible adults. Both my partner and I had to shift our priorities. He, as a new father, took to this role so well. And I’m so so grateful for this man.

Identity crisis. There were a few dark nights of my soul when I wanted to destroy it all, burn it all to the ground and run. My poor man! It almost felt like the old me was dying, making space for a new me - the Mother.

And the most fascinating stage of it all:

I’m the most feminine I’ve ever felt. I feel the Divine Mother and the Sacred Whore parts of me dancing together in unison, and I am feeling intoxicated by how contradictory this is. And I giggle to myself because it turns me on.

I am very turned on.

Turned on by my new soft body, my breasts, my slut desires to be devoured and consumed by everyone around me, by my partner who is my rock now… by life. 💕

The other day, when we were at the nude beach, I was the happiest, because I felt like I was one with the earth and the ocean.

Never have I felt this way before. It’s so wild and so primal. And I’m going to write more about this, I suspect. Nobody really talks about sexuality during pregnancy and I would like to.

I am more intuitive and trusting, and also very emotional, vulnerable, and open. “

What do you think? Do you wonder about sexuality and eroticism with your partner - and pregnancy?
