Break into song with me, sing it: “Let’s talk about sex, baby! Let’s talk about SEX”. Yep it’s happening, we’re going there in episode 16 of Oh Mama, diving in on all the questions you might have about sex while pregnant. “Can you have sex while pregnant?” “Is sex painful when pregnant?”, “Will my baby be ok if I have sex?” “Are you more horny when you’re pregnant?”. Trust me sister, I asked those questions too.

And while I am nowhere near a doctor, I am 21 weeks pregnant, wondered all those things myself and am here to tell you what it’s been like in my experience so far. If you thought I was an open book so far, you ain’t seen nothing yet. We’re really going there in this one, and I’m holding nothing back as I talk about my own sex life and experience through pregnancy.

Okay mama, here’s all the things we’re talking about:

• 21 weeks pregnant update
• Having a breakdown and crying in the woolies carpark
• Worries I had about sex while pregnant
• What the first time having sex felt like after finding out I was pregnant
• How things have changed for us as a couple since getting pregnant
• What we’re doing differently during sex now in the second trimester
• What feels different in my body and how I respond to sex now vs not pregnant
• Are you REALLY extra horny when pregnant or is that a myth?

OH MAMA MANTRA: “I will let go of how I think today is supposed to go and accept how it imperfectly happens.”

Okay I want to hear from you - what’s changed in your sex life since being pregnant? DM me and let me know!

**Please note: this podcast is not medical advice. Instead, think of it as having a pregnancy chats with your BFF, where we keep things wildly honest, and we share what we're really thinking and experiencing as we grow a tiny human. If an episode is helpful, amazing, but it's in no way here to tell you what to do or how to be/feel/act/think. Your experience is unique and perfect to you. No comparison necessary here, but we hope hearing the experiences we share makes you feel a little less alone in the moments when you might wonder if it's only you that's going through it. I promise you mama, it isn't. You're not alone, and we're in this together - one big mama squad.
