175: Let’s Get Honest About Sex as Parents
In this solo episode, I dive into how we have navigated sex as parents both during pregnancy and postpartum. I discuss why it’s completely normal not to feel ready for sex after the six week postpartum check-up, how my relationship with my post-baby body affected my sensuality, and why it’s so challenging shifting from mom mode to sexual mode. I also get into why communication between partners is crucial during post-baby sex, which tools have been useful for reclaiming my sexuality post-baby, and the importance of making sex a priority when it feels right. Finally, I share listener experiences about sex as parents, and how some of you are having the best sex of your lives as parents now.
