💖 SEX DURING PREGNANCY: WHAT'S NORMAL, WHAT’S SAFE, AND HOW TO STAY CONNECTED! 💖

Pregnancy is a time of incredible changes—not just for your body, but also for your emotions, libido, and intimacy with your partner. Many couples wonder: Can we still have sex? Is it safe? Will it feel different? How do we keep the connection alive? In this episode, we dive deep into sex during pregnancy—from the first trimester to the final stretch before birth.

Whether your desire is surging or fading, whether you feel more connected or more distant, this episode will help you understand what’s normal, what’s safe, and how to embrace intimacy through every stage of pregnancy.

🔥 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: ✔️ Can you have sex during pregnancy? What do doctors say? ✔️ How does pregnancy affect libido and sexual desire? ✔️ What’s normal in the first trimester?

It’s all normal!

Maintaining intimacy during pregnancy isn’t just about sex—it’s about communication, emotional closeness, and understanding your partner’s needs. This episode is here to guide you through it all, without shame, without taboos—just real talk.
