Be a missionary
It might seem like the boring way to get intimate, but the missionary position, with all that deep penetration close to your cervix, is going to give your partner’s sperm a little extra help in their swim for the egg!

Stay in bed
Don’t leap out of bed and go straight to an aerobics class after sex. If you want to get pregnant, lie on your side and draw your knees into your stomach. Stick a pillow under your hips, put your feet against the headboard, and relax for a while.

Have an orgasm
As well as bringing a smile to your face, good sex makes babies! It’s official – a post-coital study of women found that those who had orgasms and enjoyed their sex retained more sperm than those who just lie back and think of England. It’s all to do with the muscular contractions you experience during an orgasm, which sucks up more sperm.

Do your pelvic floor exercises
Strong pelvic floor muscles. They’re good for you, they’re good for him, and they’re good for making babies! We don’t know for sure, but a few pulls in and up after sex can’t do any harm, can it?

Staying behind
Doing it doggy-style is guaranteed to get your partner’s sperm close to that all-important baby-making organ – the cervix.
