In this episode of Parents You’ve Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood we are talking about Sex and Babies. We discuss the common concerns and questions our community has about this topic. From physical recovery and hormonal changes to body confidence, relationship shifts, and simply finding the energy after sleepless nights, intimacy can look very different after becoming a parent.
So how do you know what’s normal? When should things start feeling better? And what can you do if sex feels uncomfortable, painful, or just completely off the radar? To answer all of your questions we welcome our Women’s Physio Expert Annette Beauchamp.
We discuss:
- How long after having a baby can you return to having sex
- How hormones and birth recovery such as perineal wounds impact returning to sex
- How long do most couples actually wait
- Many women experience pain when returning to sex after having a baby, why does this occur?
- Are there any positions that may be more comfortable returning to sex after having a baby?
- Why limited penetrative depth can help
- Tips to help couples return to sex after having a baby
- Lubricant tips
- Why gentle scar massage can help reduce pain and make sex more comfortable
