Otis has always been candid about her intimacy during pregnancy. In October, she told her Instagram followers that she closed up shop in the bedroom once she started taking a prescription hormone supplement. Called progesterone, it’s often used through an expecting mother’s first trimester — and can produce a somewhat messy situation when taken vaginally as gravity sets in, with most doctors recommending taking it before bed.
“@doughehner and I haven’t had sex in TWO MONTHS!” Otis sharedon her Story at the time, “Partially [because] this stuff is gross, partially [because] we are kinda scared to.”
