Pregnant Martha Kalifatidis makes a surprising confession about her sex life with Michael Brunelli

Martha Kalifatidis has revealed she is not having sex during her pregnancy. 

The former Married At First Sight star was grilled about her bedroom antics with fiancé Michael Brunelli when she appeared KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday. 

Martha explained she is currently staying at her mother’s house in Melbourne after suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum – a condition that causes persistent and excessive vomiting during pregnancy.

‘So you and Michael and having sex in your mother’s bed?’ host Kyle Sandilands asked. 

Martha tried to quickly shut the line of questioning down by asking Kyle how often he had sex with his fiancée Tegan Kynaston while she was pregnant with their son Otto. He admitted ‘once or twice.’

‘We haven’t had our once or twice moment yet but who knows it’s [Michael’s] birthday [soon],’ she said.

Elsewhere Martha said she finally got some relief from her hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness she has suffered. 

‘The nausea is relentless,’ she said. ‘There’s no eating, there’s no drinking, you don’t want to put anything in your mouth.’

She went on to explain ‘hyperemesis babies’ are really healthy as the baby ‘takes everything’ from the mother. 

Michael recently revealed how Martha’s morning sickness ‘nearly destroyed the couple’.   

In a piece for Body & Soul, the personal trainer, 31, shared that looking after Martha has caused him to ditch healthy habits, lose muscle and gain weight.

‘We haven’t had our once or twice moment yet but who knows it’s [Michael’s] birthday [soon],’ she said 

‘Not to say we aren’t eternally grateful to have been able to become pregnant, but this experience has almost destroyed us, individually,’ he wrote before explaining that Martha’s health rapidly declined after falling pregnant earlier this year.    

Michael explained that at first he thought her symptoms were normal, but as the weeks went on her discomfort became ‘extreme’.

‘She was vomiting, refused to eat, couldn’t tolerate drinking water, was nauseous 24 hours a day and unable to get out of bed,’

‘By week nine of the pregnancy Martha had lost 10kg, was taking multiple medications and regularly needed an IV drip in hospital to stay hydrated,’ he wrote.   

Michael stopped working as a personal trainer to look after his future wife – but saw his mental and physical health decline too.

‘I stopped exercising, lost the care for what I was eating, I was stuck in my own head and not present. I had zero motivation, zero willpower, zero self-care and zero energy. I lost a lot of muscle, gained weight, slept poorly and my overall health declined,’ he added.

Fortunately, Martha’s illness subsided at 22 weeks, and is now able to return to daily activities and Michael has returned to work. 

Martha is  due to give birth to her first child in February
