And Sex During Pregnancy Is An Open Discussion For Her
You've got to give it to this girl – she will broach even the bravest of subjects. Ashley has spoken out about sex during pregnancy, even asking others for recommendations on positions.
“I’ve been literally asking every single one of my friends who have had babies or who’re pregnant, like, ‘What positions do you guys do?’ This has to be a normal conversation among mothers," she said.
The model also outlined how sensitive the bump can be depending on how it receives pressure.
“Because there’s this huge bulge that can be sensitive if you lay on it or go into a new position,” she stated.
Talk wasn't about how babies are made over on Ashley's Instagram today – more about how long they bake for.
