Show Notes
Have you ever wondered about what sex after birth truly feels like? Not the advice you get in medical handouts, but the real, raw experience of reconnecting with your body after the intense transformation of giving birth.
In today’s episode, I’m addressing an often-overlooked topic: sex after giving birth. This conversation is for every mother—whether you’re just beginning to think about motherhood, you’ve been a mother for years, or you’ve experienced childbirth long ago. I’m here to discuss how society’s focus on a baby’s health often leaves mothers’ physical, mental, and sexual wellbeing in the shadows. Together, we’ll explore how to approach sex after birth as a healing, ritualistic experience, and how to reconnect with your sexuality in a way that feels safe, honoring, and even pleasurable.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, honor your needs, and reconnect with your body in a new way—no matter when you give birth.
In this episode:
Healthcare’s narrow focus on new mother's sexual and mental health after giving birth.
Sex after childbirth can be a tender and transformative experience.
How can the first experience be made back intimate and ceremonial, allowing for healing and integration of the birth experience.
How to experience both, pleasure and healing.
The role of open and honest communication with your partner.
How to honor physical changes and explore intimacy in a way that is grounded and aligned with the new motherhood experience.
Embracing the duality of being both a mother and a sexual woman.
A practical exercise as a way to reconnect, heal, and bring compassion to your body and experience.
