This pregnant blogger just got very real about rumpyBUMPy

Aussie blogger Mel Watts just got very real about rumpyBUMPy, and we love her for it.

Expectant mum Emma, who blogs under the name The Modern Mumma shared her feelings on sex during pregnancy and she ain’t holding back.

The mum-of-two says that her blog “will either have you in hysterics, reaching for the tissues, running to get contraception or feel normal, well kinda normal”, and we couldn’t agree more.

“Pregnant intimacy – okay lets not get fancy pregnant sex.

You know there are some women who thrive when they’re pregnant. They love a bit of loving from the big D and then there’s people like me.

We try. I really think we do. 
I know how I got in this situation and I promised myself this time would be different.
I’ll embrace it – I said.
I’ll thrive – I said.
I’ll love him so much more – I said.
I’m going to be the best sex goddess ever when pregnant – I said.

Well here I am.
Beach whaled AF.
Sweaty.
Wearing a liner – not because I’m that kind of wet.
I have a rash on my stomach from stretching skin.
My breasts are weapons they’ll knock anyone out.
Heavy breathing.
My last shaving job was a touch a feel job.
I’m filled with 10 fingers, 10 toes and all sorts of body parts that stick out.
And he’d still happily call me beautiful and sexy. Like what is wrong with this man? I’m at my worst. I’m leaking, I stink, I moan and grown, I’m hairy and I reckon I’d have more sweat under my titties than he’d have in his gooch on the hottest summers day. And he still wants me. Maybe he’s one of those people that like this kinda situation? Or maybe he is just an amazing, caring doting and a terrible liar partner of an over emotional stretched pregnant wife.

Either way – I’ll keep him.”
