Sex After Baby

You’ve just been through the life-altering and physically draining process of pregnancy and delivery. Although you adore your new little miracle, you are exhausted from being up at all hours for feedings and are still a little sore from the delivery. And you may not be feeling too sexy while adjusting to your new role as a mother with all the dirty diapers and demands on your time.

Sex is probably the last thing on your mind – right?

Well that won’t always be the case. Being intimate with your partner again is an important part of your relationship with your partner, in addition to the new joys and responsibilities of parenthood. Women and their partners often have questions about resuming sexual activity after a baby, and how to prevent another pregnancy.

In this section you will find general information and pointers, but it cannot replace professional advice. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about your particular situation.
