What should a pregnant woman be advised regarding sexual activity in the later stages of pregnancy?

In the later stages of pregnancy, advising a woman about sexual activity should consider her comfort and any physical changes she is experiencing. Choosing the response regarding different positions for comfort addresses the reality that as the pregnancy progresses, a woman's body undergoes significant changes that can affect her physical comfort during sexual activity.

Practical adjustments, such as trying different positions, can help accommodate her growing belly and any discomfort she may be feeling, allowing her to engage in a more pleasurable and comfortable sexual experience. This also acknowledges the need for open communication between partners to ensure their mutual comfort and satisfaction during this time.

While it is true that nausea and fatigue can affect sexual desire, which is noted in one of the other options, it does not provide actionable advice about how to navigate sexual activity itself. The suggestion to avoid sexual activity until 6 weeks postpartum is overly restrictive and does not consider the varied individual circumstances of women during pregnancy. The mention of pelvic congestion influencing desire does highlight another dimension of sexual health, but it does not directly address the need for comfort in sexual activities, making it a less practical piece of advice for navigating later pregnancy.
