by Lauren Schumacker

Celebrities can often just feel like really popular girlfriends. You get the inside scoop on what's going on in their life through interviews, social media posts, memoirs, blogs, and appearances. And since they're still human, despite any and all evidence to the contrary, so what they strive for, cope with, and experience can be fairly relatable even for those who don't grace the covers of magazines or walk red carpets. They can give advice or let you know you're not alone. Want to know how to wear hats? Here's the perfect outfit. Questions about intimacy while pregnant? Here are some celeb moms who were open about pregnancy sex.

Opinions vary widely on pregnancy sex, anywhere from "love it" to "stay away from me." Well, celebrities get it, guys. Some celeb moms feel empowered, especially beautiful, or more connected to their partners and think pregnancy sex is a big part of that. Some don't even want to go there because they feel ill, exhausted, or more whale-like than sexy throughout their pregnancies. These nine celebrity moms have been exceptionally open and honest about their feelings regarding pregnancy sex, and, like all women, have different ideas about it. Whatever your personal pregnancy sex feelings, these ladies will make sure that you don't feel alone.

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett talked pregnancy sex on her blog on People's website writing that it was "lacking" during her second pregnancy because she occasionally worries that husband Hank Baskett isn't attracted to her. I'm betting lots of moms-to-be can relate to that.
