Struggling With Intimacy After a Baby- Why it Happens and What to Do

Intimacy after childbirth is…COMPLICATED. There are so many societal pressures for postpartum sex but what is more important is to have open communication about desires and readiness. We need to redefine sexual experiences beyond intercourse to include emotional connection and playful touch. This week, I welcome Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, a couples therapist, to discuss how healthy relationships positively impact parenting and what’s needed to reconnect with your partner post-baby.

 

She joins me to discuss:

  • Misconceptions about postpartum intimacy, such as societal pressures and readiness for sex
  • Why a strong partnership positively influences parenting
  • How to redefine intimacy to focus on small, meaningful moments

 

To connect with Dr. Tracy Dalgleish follow her on Instagram @drtracyd, check out all her resources at https://www.drtracyd.com/. Check out the two books Dr. Tracy mentioned: Come as You Are and Better Sex Through Mindfulness
