Sometime ago a woman came to class. She waddled in on crutches, late. Her pelvis had been giving her bother and she was laboured and tired. We had been chatting and various women had been explaining their tiredness, exhaustion and discomfort. The woman on crutches edged her way down to sitting obviously in some considerable pain. I thought I could tell from her body. I could read the pain and the incarceration she was feeling, or so I thought. I was very wrong. What was most alive for her was feeling irate that sex, her last saviour, had been taken away from her by bleeding. The rest of the class listened on with a mixture of jealousy, compassion and admiration.
Here’s a bit of her story:
‘So I struggle up the stairs for what may have been the 20th pee of the day. Now not only do I find it was all a trick by my baby and I barely have a few drops of urine but, as I sigh and try to reach my undies, I notice blood. No matter how calm and chill you are there’s a wee streak of fear that fizzles through you when you see this. “Don’t google it – don’t google it”, the mantra plays through my head.
I get through to a midwife and we go over the details of who I am and such like, I can hear her typing everything. She’s asking me lots of questions about ‘my mary’. It’s no longer weird being asked the intricacies of ‘my lady’. The midwife continues trying to get to the root of the problem. By the way, explaining the viscosity of the body is harder to do than one would think. “Have you had sexual intercourse over the last few day?”. Well yes I say. I can hear her typing stop on the phone. For a fleeting moment there’s no sound and I wonder if I might have done some damage I can’t repair – can I get to the hospital tonight if I need to? I haven’t packed a hospital bag yet, shit, can I get it done like right now??
And there’s a wee sigh from midwife. “Oh honey that’s perfectly normal” hallelujah! ‘As long as it’s diluted and not brightly coloured you’ll be fine”.
Good grief. Our third trimester, when we feel massive, bloated and only getting bigger. We have swollen feet and fingers, we’re tired but can’t sleep – then we’re thrown this. Give us a break. If I can manage to get myself into a position comfortable enough to have sex, I wanna have it without worrying about bleeding! Come on man, we’re peeing ourselves a little, and discharge staining our clothes. Why can’t we have this one thing? This simple release???
So what is so important about sex in pregnancy? In pregnancy your body grows and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. Sometimes you develop so many aches and pains that you get a hint of what it must be like to be old. Sometimes you feel so ‘out of shape’ that you question who you are and what it’s all about. Almost invariably what was private becomes public, what was solely sexual also becomes motherhood.
In pregnancy our bodies are no longer our own. Literally. We house another being in our body as their sole protection and nurturance. We seem to become public property, everyone thinks we can be touched, commented and judged on a whim. ‘You’re only…’, “You’re very big’, and ‘well, let me tell you…..’.
When the woman above came to class I thought she’d share her discomfort and her pain. She was brave and present and shared her passion and her frustration. It’s normal in pregnancy for other women to tell you their birth traumas, not their empowering and powerful births. It’s normal for us to share our troubles and yet to evade our deep joys. It’s normal to go into the staffroom at work and complain about your partner. What fun it is to imagine sharing our deepest passions with the same vigour on a daily basis. And the question is why don’t we? Why don’t we share the utter joy of being alive?
Of course, there’s something precious about our deepest joys. Their privacy can intensify their strength for some. This said, it seems a little out of balance.
I remember another woman, she was so consumed with sexual desire in pregnancy that she was quite beside herself. Her partner was worried he’d hurt the baby and did not want to have sex. In fact he stoically refused. She shamedly admitted she was so desperate, in a half comic way, that she’d considered going down to the docks to see if she could gain some pleasure and release. Her eyes darted as she laughed off her gnawing pain.
Despite all the changes we are still us. We have needs like every other woman. Of course it doesn’t help that female sexuality is often prioritised by giving pleasure. Women, traditionally, are less able to define and enact their sexual needs.
In pregnancy our needs are communicated to our babies, whether that’s your desire for cut grass, sliced ham or Ben & Jerry’s.
Our sexual needs are communicated to our unborn babies as well, and I think of it much like Ben & Jerry’s. If the lady wants ‘Cookie Dough’ the lady should have ‘cookie dough’. What could be better than physical intimacy when we’re not sure who we are and who we are going to become.
I don’t know how you’re feeling in this pregnancy, maybe you are enjoying the space around you and relishing the lack of interference, and maybe you’re not. I invite you to explore how you’re feeling, noticing what you’d like, and how. And I invite you to seek that out.
The Japanese have a lovely saying – in pregnancy look on beautiful things. Find what is beautiful to you, whether that’s hot chocolate and an open fire, sunlight on a wooden floor or some loving. And if they’re not willing I’d suggest finding your own pleasure, not so much via the Docks but a nice vibrator. It may feel counter-intuitive, it may meddle with your logical mind; with your role as a mother and as a lover, with Freudian worries of the babies experience – but I invite you to leave all this behind. Working things out with your mind is not going to transform anything. Follow your body, follow it’s desire – for space or for intimacy – and trust that your experience is real. Allow yourself to feel and to go with that feeling.
Whether you want ‘cookie dough’ or ‘Kamasutra’ is immaterial. What matters is that you cherish yourself enough to find out what you’d really love…. and then to find it one way or another, for both you and your baby.
Overheard the other day: two new mothers talking over double lattes. Very tired Mom says, “I fantasize about sleep the way I used to fantasize about sex.” More tired Mom replied, “I plan my whole life just hoping I will get some sleep.”
Thanks Emaret, I think a lot of new mums have ‘sleep fantasies’!
Avoid lying flat on your back in the “missionary position” for sex after the fourth month of pregnancy. That way, you can avoid the weight of the growing baby constricting major blood vessels.
Thanks you and I admire you to have the courage the talk about this,This was a very meaningful post for me.Thank you.

Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
COSC Validation and its Strict Standards
Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC validation is a sign of excellent craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all watch brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its own strict standards with movements like the UNICO calibre, attaining similar accuracy.
The Science of Precision Chronometry
The central system of a mechanical timepiece involves the mainspring, which provides energy as it loosens. This system, however, can be susceptible to environmental factors that may affect its precision. COSC-certified movements undergo rigorous testing—over 15 days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests measure:
Mean daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
Mean variation, highest variation levels, and effects of temperature changes.
Why COSC Validation Matters
For timepiece fans and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a piece of tech but a demonstration to enduring excellence and precision. It symbolizes a timepiece that:
Provides exceptional reliability and precision.
Provides confidence of quality across the complete construction of the timepiece.
Is apt to maintain its worth more efficiently, making it a sound investment.
Famous Chronometer Brands
Several famous brands prioritize COSC certification for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Soul, which highlight COSC-accredited movements equipped with innovative substances like silicon balance suspensions to improve resilience and performance.
Historical Background and the Development of Timepieces
The idea of the chronometer originates back to the need for precise timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a standard for assessing the accuracy of luxury timepieces, continuing a tradition of excellence in horology.
Conclusion
Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an visual selection; it’s a commitment to quality and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation offers peace of mind, guaranteeing that each accredited timepiece will function reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment, COSC-certified watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of meticulous chronometry.

로드스탁과 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자법의 신규 지평
로드스탁을 통해 제공되는 레버리지 스탁은 주식 시장의 투자의 한 방식으로, 높은 이익율을 목표로 하는 투자자들을 위해 유혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 전략은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 자본을 넘어서는 투자금을 투자할 수 있도록 함으로써, 증권 시장에서 더 큰 힘을 행사할 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.
레버리지 방식의 스탁의 원리
레버리지 스탁은 기본적으로 투자금을 빌려 투자하는 방식입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자들이 일반적인 자본보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 사들여, 주식 가격이 증가할 경우 해당하는 더욱 큰 수익을 가져올 수 있게 해줍니다. 하지만, 증권 값이 하락할 경우에는 그 손해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지 사용을 사용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.
투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 높은 회사에 투자할 때 유용합니다. 이러한 기업에 큰 비율을 통해 투자하면, 잘 될 경우 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 큰 위험성도 짊어져야 합니다. 그렇기 때문에, 투자자들은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력을 가진 장터 분석을 통해, 일정한 기업에 얼마만큼의 자금을 적용할지 결정하게 됩니다 합니다.
레버리지의 이점과 위험성
레버리지 방식의 스탁은 큰 수익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 큰 위험성 동반합니다. 증권 시장의 변동은 예상이 어렵기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 늘 상장 추세를 세심하게 살펴보고, 손해를 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 구성해야 합니다.
맺음말: 신중한 결정이 요구됩니다
로드스탁을 통해 공급하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 강력한 투자 수단이며, 적당히 활용하면 큰 수입을 제공할 수 있습니다. 하지만 상당한 리스크도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 결정이 충분히 많은 데이터와 세심한 고려 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자자 본인의 금융 상황, 리스크 감수 능력, 그리고 시장 상황을 반영한 안정된 투자 계획이 핵심입니다.
