65. Improving Your Pregnancy Sex Life With Krystle + Amy Artwork

The Expecting and Empowered Podcast

We’re Amy and Krystle, sisters, mamas and co-founders of Expecting and Empowered. We built this business because we saw a HUGE gap in information given to women who were pregnant or postpartum. During the incredibly demanding and challenging years of early motherhood, we wanted to create a safe space for women to learn, grow and feel supported.We wholeheartedly believe in serving every woman no matter where they are in their motherhood journey. Through our professional background, real life experiences and mamas in our community, we are opening up the conversation around common issues that women experience during pregnancy and postpartum, sharing birth stories and giving women the knowledge and resources they deserve to put their best foot forward in motherhood.

65. Improving Your Pregnancy Sex Life With Krystle + Amy

August 07, 2024 • Amy Kiefer + Krystle Howald

As you already know, here at Expecting and Empowered, we don’t mind covering topics people are scared or shy to talk about. And today is no different! Today’s episode is all about sex during pregnancy. Some women love sex while pregnant and some want nothing to do with it! Either is okay. We are going to dive into this topic through the lens of a physical therapist and mamas of three.

First of all, is sex during pregnancy safe? Unless your provider specifically tells you to abstain, YES, it’s safe! There can even be some benefits of sex during pregnancy, especially during the 3rd trimester. This episode will dive into all the ways we can make it not just safe and comfortable, but actually ENJOYABLE.

We recognize that a lot of body changes happen during pregnancy and that may affect the way you feel towards sex. It may be out of your comfort zone, but this episode will cover ways you can better communicate with your partner about how you’re feeling, and your wants and needs in the bedroom to help both of you reach the “finish line” and have fun while doing it! We also discuss some positions you and your partner can try that leave some extra space for your growing belly.

If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered. As we like to say, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their pregnancy journey!
