Um, Can You Use a Vibrator While Pregnant?

I had to do this mental calculation of, How many sick days do I have left to spare?

and beyond that, How many vacation days do I have?

because maybe this isnt just one sick day, like when you have a bad headache.

So, perhaps its a few days.

And then, it turned into, Do I really want to be using my vacation days for this?

Because this was surely not going to be a time of relaxation, says Taitt.

The unspoken rule is that you shouldnt tell anyone that youre pregnant in the first trimesterjust in case.

But that just in case is exactly why it helps to share, Taitt says.
