It seems that everyone has something to say about pregnancy, even if they've never been pregnant. And sex during pregnancy? That’s incredibly taboo, even in medical and sexuality settings. Sex during pregnancy is often overlooked in health care settings and in sexual health education spaces because of lack of education, discomfort, cultural nuances, misinformation, and more.

This presentation will cover basic sex and pregnancy wellness and safety as well as specifics for sexuality professionals, including:

• Sexuality and pregnancy myths and facts,
• Common concerns of pregnant people and their partners,
• Medical and healthcare referral skills,
• Interdisciplinary approaches,
• Inclusive language
• Postpartum sexuality and breastfeeding challenges and opportunities

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

• Describe approaches that promote effective interdisciplinary prenatal sexual and reproductive health care
• Identify psychosexual concerns that may necessitate an interdisciplinary approach, including consultations, collaboration, and referrals when working with pregnant individuals
• Evaluate approaches for referring patients for outside treatment when working with pregnant individuals
  Identify inclusion-focused language for working with the natal cycle
• Recognize the concept of the 4th Trimester and its impact on sexual behavior and feelings.
• Discern the challenges and opportunities of breastfeeding and its impact on sex.
