Martha Kalifatidis has revealed that she did not have sex during her pregnancy.
The former Married At First Sight star was asked about her bedroom antics with fiancé Michael Brunelli when she appeared on KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday.
Martha explained that she is currently staying with her mother in Melbourne after suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum – a condition which causes persistent and excessive vomiting during pregnancy.

“So you and Michael, and having sex in your mother’s bed?” asked host Kyle Sandilands.
Martha attempted to quickly close the question line by asking Kyle how often he had sex with his fiancee Tegan Kynaston while she was pregnant with their son Otto. He admitted “once or twice”.
‘We haven’t had our moment once or twice but who knows it’s [Michael’s] birthday [soon],’ she added.

Elsewhere, Martha said she finally got some relief from her hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness she suffered from.
“The nausea is relentless,” she said. “There is no food, there is no drink, you don’t want to put anything in your mouth.”
She went on to explain that “hyperemesis babies” are really healthy because the baby “takes everything” from the mother.

Meanwhile, Michael recently revealed how Martha’s morning sickness “almost destroyed the couple”.
In an article for Body & Soul, the 31-year-old personal trainer shared that looking after Martha caused him to drop his healthy habits, lose muscle and gain weight.

“Not to say that we are not eternally grateful to have been able to get pregnant, but this experience almost destroyed us, individually,” he wrote before explaining that Martha’s health quickly declined after being got pregnant earlier this year.
Michael explained that at first he thought his symptoms were normal, but over the weeks his discomfort became “extreme”.
“She was vomiting, refusing to eat, could not tolerate drinking water, was nauseous 24 hours a day, and was unable to get out of bed,”

“By the ninth week of pregnancy, Martha had lost 22 lbs, was taking several medications and required regular intravenous drips in the hospital to stay hydrated,” he wrote.
Michael quit working as a personal trainer to care for his future wife – but also saw his mental and physical health decline.
“I stopped exercising, I lost worry about what I was eating, I was stuck in my own head and absent. I had no motivation, no will, no personal attention and no 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 she is now able to resume her daily activities and Michael is back to work.
