Not so long ago the topic of sex was relegated to a paragraph or footnote in most books about pregnancy. If it was discussed at all, the assumption was that sex during pregnancy meant intercourse, and so if intercourse was a problem (or if you're pregnant and you don't have an opposit sex partner) you're out of luck. The books listed below offer a different take on sex and pregnancy. With varying degrees of narrow and open-mindedness, each of these books at least offers more than a rebuke to anyone interested in continuing to have a sex life while being pregnant.
Sexy Mamas: Keeping Your Sex Life Alive While Raising Kids
New World Library
Hot Mamas
Gotham Books
Dr. Ruth's Pregnancy Guide for Couples
Routledge
Making Love During Pregnancy
Much of the information in this book is out of date (it was originally published in 1977) but it’s still worth reading for the variety of first person sex stories of men and women during pregnancy. This book is out of print, but used copies can be found on line.Your Orgasmic Pregnancy
Hunter House
A more recent title that offers couples (mostly heterosexual, with a few token nods to lesbian couples) ideas on ways, beyond intercourse, to maintain a sexual connection and enjoy sex during pregnancy. Written by a sex educator and a fitness trainer who is also a "pregnancy coach", this book might over state it in the title, but it delivers plenty of creative ideas and supportive words that counter the standard medical advice about sex during pregnancy.
Pregnant Sex: Masterclass
Erotic Print Society
This title is from a series of sex instruction manuals published in the UK.
The Complete Book of Breastfeeding
Workman Publishing
As the title indicates, this isn't a book about sex during pregnancy, but it comes highly recommended by sex therapist and author Dr. Marty Klein, for it's stand out chapter on sexuality and breastfeeding, which covers information about pleasure and health related to sex after having a baby.
