1. Lithotomy.
2. Fowler's.
3. Supine.
4. Side-lying.
4
Rationale 1: The lithotomy position can be uncomfortable during advanced pregnancy, and is not recommended.
Rationale 2: Fowler's position can be uncomfortable during advanced pregnancy, and is not recommended.
Rationale 3: The supine position can be uncomfortable during advanced pregnancy, and is not recommended.
Rationale 4: As the abdomen increases in girth during later pregnancy, changes in position might be necessary to achieve sexual activity. The side-lying position reduces pressure on the abdomen and avoids supine hypotension.
