Pregnancy is a major time of change, and life between the sheets definitely is not the same with a baby on board. While this subject used to be taboo, women are now much more comfortable talking about the way their desires change while pregnant. In fact, celebrities have even gotten in on discussing what intimacy is like during pregnancy.

Due to more blood flow to the lady region, many women describe pregnancy intimacy as the best kind of pleasure. However, others don't even want their partner approaching them. Sometimes it's because they are too weirded out about feeling a baby move and experiencing the big O within seconds of each other. Others just don't feel attractive enough to be that close to anyone, even their partners.

There's no right or wrong way to feel about intimacy during pregnancy. Unless a doctor prohibits intimacy due to medical concerns, every woman will have to deal with this issue and come to terms with how she feels about the sexy side and the maternal side overlapping.

Even among celebrities, there's no consensus when it comes to pregnancy intimacy. Some stars are all for it, sharing more details than are necessary, and others aren't afraid to say it was not their thing at all. Readers may be surprised to find where some celebrities fall on this issue, but every woman will likely be able to find someone whose view she can relate to.

15 Angelina Jolie

Though golden couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are no longer a pair, they had some beautiful kids during their time together. Besides three adopted children, they had three biological children, including a set of twins.

Jolie has always been candid about her desire for intimacy, including talking about meeting lovers in hotel rooms when she was a single mom to son Maddox. She was no less candid when discussing intimacy during pregnancy.

Jolie said intimacy while pregnant led to a certain amount of creativity, something anyone who has to deal with a nine month pregnant belly can understand. For Jolie and Pitt, pregnancy added fun to the bedroom, and Jolie even commented on the positive side of being round and in bloom as a pregnant female.

It's true that the size of a woman during her pregnancy can make the old standby positions impossible to achieve. Jolie is correct in her assessment that creativity often becomes the name of the game, and that can be its own kind of fun.

14 Jessica Simpson

Simpson once famously commented that she couldn't get married because her wedding plans to Eric Johnson kept getting pushed back due to her conceiving! The former Newlyweds star has always been open about her life in the bedroom, whether it was about her virginity or about getting pregnant by accident.

Simpson said that pregnancy did great things for her desire for intimacy. She wanted it more, and the climax was the best it had ever been for her.

Science supports Simpson's theory that pregnancy orgasms can be stronger than the regular variety since extra blood is flowing to the reproductive organs. Mom doesn't need to worry about if her big Os are safe for the little one either. Unless instructed by a doctor, it's fine for mom to get frisky between the sheets and make it to the end.

13 Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba had practical questions about logistics when she ended up on a talk show with a sex educator. She asked if it was possible for a child to be hurt when mom was in the last part of pregnancy if she engaged in intercourse, and the educator gave her an encouraging answer.

Because the cervix stays closed until the baby is ready to come out, it serves as a barrier. That means dad's man bits aren't getting anywhere near that baby during intimacy. While there are situations when mom and dad will want to refrain from intercourse, such as a risk of preterm labor or if mom has been put on bed rest, in most pregnancies intercourse up until the delivery day is fine.

Of course, mom's comfort level comes into play, so if she feels like intimacy is causing her pain towards the end, she may be the one to pull the plug on bedroom fun.

12 Kristin Cavallari

Though Cavallari might not have had a problem with pregnancy intimacy, her husband Jay Cutler wasn't interested. Cavallari said that knowing the baby was moving and was inside of her made Cutler less inclined to engage in intimacy. This can happen with any man when he gets a woman pregnant. Once the baby is in mom's body, he doesn't feel like he should be.

To stay connected, Cavallari and her husband had date nights, and she also mentioned ways to stay intimate without sex. Baths together and conversations daily helped her stay connected to Cutler, even if there wasn't much going on between the sheets.

If a woman feels physically neglected during pregnancy, she should talk to her partner about why he is hesitant. It may be because he fears hurting the baby and doesn't understand how thoroughly a child is protected within the womb.

11 Kristin Bell

The Frozen actress married actor Dax Shepherd, and they have children together. While pregnant, Bell reported their intimacy receiving a boost because of Shepherd's feelings about her body.

Since the petite Bell gained 43 pounds, her husband felt like he wasn't even going to bed with the same person, and Bell credits this with the reason their intimacy was exciting. Because Shepherd felt like he was with another woman, adventures occurred.

Bell wasn't offended and felt that her husband was lucky to have an experience with "another woman" that didn't involve him actually cheating. In fact, other husbands may feel this way as well. That can make intimacy during pregnancy a kind of role play where each partner has a new chance to find out what the other one wants. Role play and tons of desire? That's not a bad combination.

10 Coco Austin

Coco Austin didn't have her first child until she was in her late 30s, but that didn't make intimacy with husband Ice T any less hot. In fact, Austin wanted Ice T's hands on her at all times while she was growing their child, and Ice T confirms that the smallest incident could cause Austin to rev up for intimacy.

Hormones play a huge role in these changes. Women who might not have previously initiated intimacy suddenly can't stop approaching their partners for sex. It's normal, and women should embrace this season of life. Most men are not complaining about being on the receiving end of all this attention.

Plus, when the baby comes, life in the bedroom changes for a while. Recovery, sleep deprivation, and trying to get used to our post baby bodies can put a damper on our feelings towards intimacy. Take advantage of all the hot sheet action while pregnant.

9 Ali Fedotowsky

Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky was not a fan of pregnancy intimacy. In fact, she didn't even want her partner touching her. As opposed to having the best intimacy of her life or feeling empowered by her pregnancy body, Fedotowsky just wanted to be left to grow in peace.

She's not the only woman who feels this way. While pregnancy sex is a wonderful, mind-blowing experience for some women, others don’t want to be nude in front of their partners, and they definitely do not want to negotiate the proper positions for intimacy while large. Women can feel insecure about their bodies, or they can just be so uncomfortable that intimacy doesn't sound appetizing.

This reaction is fine, and mom should simply explain her feelings to her spouse so he won't take it personally. Between morning sickness and the sheer exhaustion of growing a person, it's no wonder women sometimes want a time out from other activities related to their bodies.

8 Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett spoke honestly about her intimate life with husband Hank, saying that when she was pregnant with her second child, she couldn't really get into it. Why? Her fear was that Hank didn't find her attractive, and it's difficult to have an intimate relationship with someone when mom doesn't feel secure she's desired.

It's true that some men love women's bodies during pregnancy and some can't wait for their bodies to return to the shape they were before carrying children. That's not a woman's fault. Our bodies are doing miraculous work by bringing our kids into the world, and the way they change during the process is just part of it.

However, women shouldn't put up with a partner talking trash about the way they look while growing. Women need to feel free to tell their partners to be respectful. A little respect will do wonders for life between the sheets.

7 Catherine Giudici

Catherine Giudici married Bachelor Sean Lowe, and they started procreating. Though she didn't get into too much detail, Giudici praised Lowe for being gentle and said her desire for her husband was still there, just like it had always been.

Giudici said she and Lowe stuck with the tried and true and didn't experiment with crazy things sexually while she was pregnant, but she did say she enjoyed pregnancy intimacy.

This is true for many moms. They may expect a massive change in their intimacy, either wanting it all the time or not wanting it at all. For some women, the desire stays the same, and though there are obvious physical barriers to overcome, certain old standby positions also stay in rotation. Business as usual is not a bad way for things to be for an expecting couple. There will be plenty of change in every area of life when the baby arrives.

6 Scott Disick

Despite having three kids with Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick has no class. While it's fine for a man to not enjoy intimacy while a woman is pregnant, just like it is fine for a woman to want to refrain, Disick took it a step further. He compared the mother of his children to a capsizing boat and described intimacy with her while pregnant as bad.

It's no wonder these two had problems. The lack of sensitivity behind those statements is astounding, and few women would want to be described in such cruel terms.

There are men who shame women for the way their bodies look, but they shouldn't. Women's bodies are amazing for all they go through while bringing a child into the world. Even if a man can't appreciate the physical part of the pregnancy, he can at least be respectful enough not to make rude comments about the woman having his kids.

5 Naya Rivera

The second trimester is usually one of relief with mom feeling a surge of energy and less morning sickness. There's also less mental stress since the risk of miscarriage decreases. For many women, this means a surge in bedroom activity.

Not so much for Naya Rivera. While she and husband Ryan Dorsey may have been intimate during that blessed second trimester, Rivera found it to be a strange experience. She felt limited by the number of positions they couldn't try, and said there were only a couple still in rotation. This made sex have an unfamiliar feel.

Women tend to love or feel slightly uncomfortable with the limits of pregnancy intimacy. Women like Jolie see them as ways to be more creative, but for Rivera the changes put too many limits on the experience. At the very least, pregnancy doesn't last forever, so those longing for things to go back to somewhat normal won't have to wait too long, though it's a whole different normal than pre-baby.

4 Britney Spears

Britney Spears very publicly broke down and pushed through some serious struggles, but she had very enlightened comments when it came to pregnancy bodies. According to Spears, pregnant bodies should be adored, and pregnancy is a time to let the body be treated well. She also praised pregnancy intimacy, which is a very Britney thing to do.

One way to possibly enjoy pregnant intimacy more is to look at our bodies as capable of superpowers and truly love them properly. We should also not feel weird about letting our partners pamper us physically. Pregnancy is uncomfortable and daunting, so when someone wants to offer us some physical relief and affection, we should feel free to take it if we desire. Our bodies are nothing to be ashamed of, pregnant or not.

To get the most positive feelings about her pregnancy body, mom should focus on all the things her body can do instead of just how it looks, especially if she is concerned about weight gain.

3 Eva Amurri

Actress Eva Amurri said her intimate life with her husband was fine. That is until she conceived. While pregnant with their daughter, Amurri said that despite enjoying pregnancy, she didn't feel like being intimate all the time. As her due date came closer, her time in the sack with husband Kyle Martino came to a halt.

Amurri still wanted her husband near her, but she didn't feel right about mixing baby growing with intimacy. The feel of her child moving put her off the idea of intercourse, and that's a perfectly normal reaction for many women. In fact, some men are even too freaked out by the thought of a baby's movements to enjoy intercourse.

Amurri has been open about not only intimacy during pregnancy but also after, another topic for a whole different day. She also admits to feeling weird because pregnant friends were enjoying their intimate lives, and she could not. Don't fall for that trap. We're all different.

2 J Woww

Jenni Farley, also known as JWoww, had a reason to avoid pregnancy intimacy: doctor's orders. Due to a low-lying placenta, her doctor recommended against intimate activity while pregnant. For some women, this would have been hard news to hear. However, JWoww was fine with it.

The changes her body was experiencing didn't leave her feeling sexy, so she wasn't feeling in the mood anyway. Though she acknowledged pregnancy as a gift, she also didn't love being bloated and heavier than ever before.

For women with medical issues, intimacy during pregnancy isn't worth the risk. These women can find other ways to connect with their partners, such as cuddling, date nights, and conversations. It is important to pay attention to a relationship that is going to be without intimacy for a while. Though one partner may be fine with it, the other can feel hurt or rejected. Talking about why abstaining is necessary is key.

1 Snooki

Nicole Polizzi, better known as Snooki from Jersey Shore, had no problems with a lack of desire while pregnant. Besides dreaming about intimacy, Polizzi often woke up to find that she was actually in the middle of the act, fulled by pregnancy hormones.

She wondered what the big O felt like for her baby and didn't have any inhibitions about getting it on while growing a baby. Like Coco Austin, anything seemed to be enough to get her going.

This overactive pleasure drive can make pregnancy especially great for all involved. However, desires can change throughout pregnancy. A woman who wanted nothing more than to get it on during the second trimester may find that weight gain and exhaustion zap her desire during the third. It's a good idea to enjoy a good thing while it's going on.
