96: Is Sex Safe During Pregnancy? Answers, Tips & What No One Tells You
Okay — let’s talk about sex. Yes, sex during pregnancy.
This is one of those topics that so many people wonder about, but few feel safe or comfortable asking out loud. In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, we’re breaking the silence and diving into the truth about intimacy, safety, and desire during pregnancy.
You’ll learn:
- What kinds of sex are generally safe during pregnancy
- When to check in with your provider before getting intimate
- How libido can shift trimester by trimester
- Non-traditional ways to experience intimacy (and why they count!)
- What positions actually feel good as your body changes
- Red flags to watch for — and when to get support
- How to navigate emotional changes, gender dysphoria, or disconnection
Whether you’re feeling more sensual than ever, or not into it at all, this conversation is here to affirm that your experience is valid, worthy, and absolutely normal.
