They also answered a few questions from the viewers. Some of them are:

Can you have c-sections 2 years after your first one?
Yes.

Is it safe to have sex when you are 8-months pregnant?
Yes, unless instructed otherwise by your Dr.

How do I ease my hip pains when I am sleeping on the side when I am pregnant?
Try and support pillows when sleeping on your side. Make sure your pillows are not too small and place a little cushion on your back to support.

Should I worry about my episiotomy scar if I am 6 months postpartum?
If it is not sore, then you don’t need to worry about it.
