As a woman with a predilection for the kink side of things, who also happens to be a mother, I have heard it all, been asked it all, and had to wade my way through the information I was processing in my mind. I know I was one of the lucky ones. In a day and age before 50 Shades of Gray, I was navigating the icy waters of pregnancy and kink, but I had an added element. I was able to find a doctor who was not only kink aware but also kink friendly! To find a doctor who was so open to welcoming kink, to the point that, 9 years later, he is asking me for advice on different possible activities he should caution his current patients against. To top it all off, I found this doctor on a military base!
Since the entire concept is still considered taboo, even amongst the taboo, there is not too much published and widely known about the concepts of Risk Aware Consensual Kink during pregnancy. It seems that, for 9 months while you are pregnant, even though sex is usually allowed, any and all kink is expected to just stop. Do power exchange dynamics end when the submissive partner is pregnant? Is any kink safe while pregnant? I don’t think the entire dynamic has to change, just some aspects and activities have to be altered. It does take common sense to know what is safe to engage in during pregnancy, especially if you do not have a doctor or medical professional you feel comfortable enough to ask about these things.
Before I continue, though, I must state that, before engaging in any kind of kink activities, please be sure to check with your doctor that your pregnancy is healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. While it is usually safe to do so, some high risk pregnancies do require caution when engaging in sexual intercourse. This is NOT intended to replace the advice of your own doctor, but simply to share some activities that will allow you to continue a BDSM/kink dynamic during pregnancy.
After you have confirmed with your doctor that you are able to engage in sexual activity, many subs and slaves do, in fact, continue to engage in some form of their dynamic throughout pregnancy. In fact, many subs and slaves find new, non-sexual ways to live their role in daily life, and they flourish in these altered dynamics, many incorporating the new services into their daily lives after birth.
While I am going to try to keep this list to the most popular kinks and fetishes around, it is impossible to compile a complete list and determine if the activity is safe during pregnancy. For any kink that is not mentioned here, please use common sense and think, does it have any chance to harm the baby? If you are not sure or there is even a remote possibility, please refrain from that activity until after you give birth. Also, this is written from the submissive point of view and I do not feel I would be doing the information justice if I spoke to the safety of a Dominant woman doing any of these activities during pregnancy.
One of the most helpful things is to find a kink friendly doctor. While some women do not have that luxury, it does help if your doctor is welcome to working with a kink/fetish patient. If you cannot find a kink friendly practitioner, you may have to compromise on some things, such as wearing your collar during birth. If you do not know if your doctor is kink friendly, call and ask before giving him or her any of your personal information. I know I was very lucky to find my kink friendly doctor. Also, if you cannot find a local doctor who is kink friendly/aware, remember to use your safe word at the first sign of something being amiss. This is not a time to guess about safety.
Now, let’s talk about the fun stuff, shall we?
