| This week we’re focusing on sex and the issues people rarely speak about. Our special sexual health series, which has begun today, is all about tackling common struggles many face but may feel too embarrassed to do something about. We want to change that. There will also be tips on how to improve your sex life, too. For the first day of the series we have investigated the concerning rise in sexually transmitted infections taking place across Australia. Our exclusive analysis maps all the suburbs where cases of chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhoea have grown.  Our expert columnist Kavya Chaganti, who is a GP-obstetrician, says she’s noticed less people coming in requesting STI checks. She also notes many are making this incorrect assumption. Meanwhile this Sunday marked the end of Imogen Bailey’s 11-part pregnancy diary series. For the past few months Imogen has provided detailed weekly insights into her pregnancy journey. Now, she has finally shared her birth story which included one very scary moment. However you’ll be pleased to hear she’s been loving every minute since with her beautiful son Beau. I hope you have a great week. |
