#65: How to talk about sex, before, during, and after pregnancy and post-partum - Relationship Series Part 3 with Mike and Ellen Melon

Part 3 of 7! This season on To Hump a Pillow, I invite my fiance Mike to the podcast in a 7-Episode Relationship Series to discuss challenging conversations that occur in couple-hood. We'll deep-dive into 7 deliciously uncomfortable topics:

1. How to talk about envious and jealous feelings
2. How to talk about money and finances, spending habits
3. Sex life - how it's changed over our relationship and how to ask for what you need
4. On taking things too personally
5. Maintaining individualism and ensuring alone time
6. Day to day compromising
7. Coparenting in a blended family

In this episode, Mike and I discuss difficult feelings and values around money, like:

1. The beginning of our sex life (early dating), first sexual experience
2. First trimester sex
3. Second/third trimester sex
4. Post-partum sex life and how to navigate the emotional and physical mess
5. Things that get in the way of our sex life
