In Her Words: Gemma Burgess on Miscarriages

One in three pregnancies ends in miscarriage. That’s what I told myself when I had my first miscarriage, in early January 2017. I had two little boys, then aged five and almost three. It was my third pregnancy. C’est la statistical vie. A swift D&C operation and I woke up in the hospital, empty, and chatting with the nurses. I decided not to be sad, so I wasn’t. It’s fine! It won’t happen again.

The Weight of It

Recently, I gained weight.

Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t, but I know I have, and I don’t think it’s a very big deal.

It sucks, though. Not being comfortable in your clothes, that sucks. Not feeling good about what you eat, that sucks too. Not fitting the current beauty ideal, that (actually doesn’t) suck so much.

Your Brain On Sex

If you haven’t heard, it’s sex month on the site! We wanted to kick off a month of sex talk with a little science and whole lot of kindness. Reproductive psychotherapist Nicole Ohebshalom generously offered to run us through the psychobiology of sexuality — yes, which means what happens to your brain before, during, and after sex! Read on for an education on pleasure, orgasms, and the connection between the body and the brain during sex.
