Join me as I sit down with Vanessa, mum and Sex Therapist from Authentic Awareness, for an eye-opening discussion on the topic of sex after having a baby. Together, we delve into the often overlooked aspects of postpartum sex and how the conventional postpartum six-week clearance from healthcare providers can be a missed opportunity for important conversations with women and couples.
Throughout our conversation, we tackle a wide range of issues, starting with the fluctuation of libido and the differences in sexual desires between males and females. Vanessa, drawing from her expertise, generously shares her invaluable tips for rediscovering sensuality after becoming a mother. We address the complexities of navigating intimacy when our partner initiates sexual activity, but we find ourselves not in the mood or feeling exhausted from the demands of motherhood. We also discuss the societal pressure to prioritise intercourse over other forms of sexual connection and intimacy, and the cultural expectations of women and sex, shedding light on alternative ways to nurture and strengthen the bond between partners.
Naturally, a conversation about postpartum sex wouldn't be complete without addressing birth injuries. We explore how these injuries can impact sexual experiences and provide insights into navigating this often overlooked aspect of postpartum recovery.
