1. Better orgasms
Having sex during pregnancy feels better than sex during the normal times. This is so because during pregnancy the blood flow to the pelvic area is increased which in turn makes this area even more sensitive. Due to this reason chances of reaching an orgasm increases and so does the number of orgasms. Even the women who find it difficult to reach an orgasm otherwise could reach a climax very easily when pregnant.
2. Improved relationship
With your pregnancy, you are entering a completely new and unpredictable phase of life (especially if you are going to be first-time parents). it is a bumpy road for the mother and the child but along with that your relationship with your partner too may get affected adversely. One thing that can really ease out things and lessen the stress is the physical intimacy. The hormone oxytocin released after having sex is a feel good hormone and thus helps in maintaining that affection while strengthening the bond.
