It details for you the things that are safe and not safe during pregnancy. Thank goodness for this girl, spanking is an approved activity, as long as it is delivered to appropriate areas of the body. You shouldn't be laying on your tummy to receive the swats either, which is a bummer for me since other than being otk, laying on my belly is my favorite position to be spanked in. Of course, it is always a good idea to use discretion and during pregnancy more than ever it's important to remember your safe word (and not hesitate to use it should you feel the need).
Most of the not recommended activities are things we don't really do anyway. Electricity play, the violet wand, etc are considered dangerous. The baby is surrounded by a sac of water and adding electricity to water is never a very good idea. This won't affect our play at all, since we don't engage in electricity play to begin with. Other things that are not encouraged include whips, blood play, and breath play. I can understand the first two, since the tails of a whip are tricky to control, it would be very easy to strike a pregnant sub somewhere the Dom did not intend, and accidentally cause damage. Blood play is dangerous because the increase in blood volume during pregnancy can make you bleed more than normal, and make it more difficult for your blood to clot. Blood play is definitely a hard limit of mine so no skin off my back there, and we don't mess around with whips either. The breath play is something I'm doing a little interpreting of my own with, however. The article explains that restricting the oxygen flow to the woman means also restricting the oxygen to the fetus. Which completely makes sense. However when Daddy puts his hands around my throat, he doesn't often cut off my oxygen supply. His grip is firm and is enough to make my panties wet, but doesn't actually restrict me from breathing. I feel that this is probably still safe for us to continue since there is no actual deprivation of oxygen. A few other things that are not recommended are tight bondage, suspension, and restrictive clothing such as latex and rubber. For those very heavy into bdsm and that take part in many of these activities, this might seem like a daunting list of do-not's. Don't worry, it will be well worth waiting until after delivering (and recovering!) to resume these things. Not to mention, there's a bunch of other ways to keep your dynamic alive while you wait!
Like I mentioned before, spanking and paddling are approved. Just be cautious and listen to your body. Use your safeword if you need to. During pregnancy the woman's body changes immensely and you might be able to take a lot less pain than you can otherwise. That is definitely true in my case! I am such a wimp when I'm pregnant! So, don't try to push through just because you normally can take more. If you're in distress, your baby can feel it, and it can cause distress for them too! Orgasm control is a great way for your Dom to assert his power over you. This is something we have only played minutely with, but I want more! More, more, more! (I'm a needy preggo girl hehe). Mild pet play, foot worship, and cum shots are some other fun things you can still engage in while pregnant. Nuzzling up to Daddy or curling up in his lap like a kitty sounds particularly nice when I'm not feeling well or am exhausted from chasing the little guy around all day. I don't do feet, but for those who do, or might, pregnancy is the perfect time to do so! Since I'm pregnant and it doesn't really matter if he, ya know ... cums inside .. he usually does just that. It's enjoyable for both of us. However, in the past, when we weren't trying to get pregnant, he has pulled on and finished on various parts of my body. This is slightly humiliating, and definitely makes me feel super submissive .. not to mention aroused!
Another thing not mentioned in the article, that you can still participate in while pregnant is mild anal play. I have seen warnings not to go from the anus to the vagina as you're more susceptible to infection when pregnant, but as long as you follow the basic health guidelines associated with anal I don't see why you couldn't do that while pregnant! Plugs can be especially fun and can be used by your Dom as a way to dominate you! Pregnancy wouldn't be a bad time to check out some new sex toys and experiment. Unless you've been put on pelvic rest, trying out a new dildo or vibrator could be a great way to put your pregnancy libido to use! I, for one, become insatiable when pregnant! Thank goodness Daddy got me a nice new toy for Christmas ;)
Of course, the most important thing to remember when playing with a pregnant woman is to listen to and trust her body. There is no such thing as being too cautious, so if she feels any discomfort or "off" in any way, all play should cease. Enjoy this time!
