During pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will experience a new sensation, with hormonal fluctuations and increased blood flow. Many women also notice that their breasts have become larger, their appetite has increased, and their sexual desire, emotions, weight, dietary habits, and sleep patterns may also change. So, the increase in sexual desire after pregnancy is usually caused by the following factors.
1. Hormones fluctuate
In the first three months of pregnancy, due to the increase in estrogen and progesterone levels. Symptoms of decreased libido in early pregnancy include hormonal changes and breast sensitivity, which can increase libido. In late pregnancy, weight gain, back pain, and other symptoms may once again lower a pregnant woman's libido.
2. Increased blood flow
After pregnancy, due to the increased blood flow in the body, especially in the sexual organs, breasts, and external genitalia, it is easier to arouse and enhance sensitivity. Proper sexual intercourse between couples can be more harmonious than before, thereby improving their sense of happiness in life.
3. Enhanced libido
Many women experience an increase in sexual desire during the first three months and second month of pregnancy. With the increase of sexual desire, vaginal lubrication increases, and the clitoris becomes sensitive due to blood flow outside the genitals. If the body allows, pregnant women can use this time to share the joy of physical changes with their partner. Sexual activity during pregnancy is a great way to maintain mental, emotional, and physical connection. Therefore, during pregnancy, increased sexual desire can bring certain benefits to both pregnant women and partners, but it should be restrained and not excessively indulged to avoid harming the fetus.
