It's time for another Q&A episode where I answer your questions! In today's episode, I answer a community member's question about sex after baby.
Life changes so much after baby is born and the pressure to have intercourse can feel overwhelming.
Breastfeeding, hormone fluctuation, sleep deprivation, birth trauma, feeling touched out, recovering from birth.
Is sex off the table? Absolutely not, but the pressure to have it should be. There is no right amount of sex to have and during this postpartum period we are reassessing our entire lives... so intimacy might be a bit different than it was before.
In this episode, I discuss:
- Why the pressure to have sex should be off the table for one year postpartum
- How communication with your partner and negative patterns can impact intimacy, especially postpartum
- My 3 tips for what you can start doing in your relationship today to address intimacy and shift toward connection
