Pregnancy, Postpartum & Sex: What Nobody Tells You About Your Body, Desire & Intimacy

Nobody really prepares us for what pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can do to our relationship with our bodies, our sexuality, and our relationships. In this episode of Desire Dialogues, we're talking about the conversations that often get left out of pregnancy and postpartum education. I've never been pregnant or given birth, so instead of pretending I know what that experience is like, I listened to women who have lived it. Their experiences brought up some really important conversations about desire, body image, intimacy, pain, changing relationships, and the pressure to somehow “get back to normal.” We talk about: ✨ How pregnancy and postpartum can change your relationship with your body ✨ Why postpartum desire isn't a simple on or off switch ✨ The pressure around the infamous six week timeline ✨ What to do when sex hurts ✨ Why intimacy doesn't have to mean penetration ✨ Body image and the pressure to “bounce back” ✨ How becoming a parent can change your identity ✨ Communication between partners after having a baby ✨ Why your sexuality doesn't disappear just because you became a parent ✨ Giving yourself permission to discover what feels good now Most importantly, this episode is about remembering that becoming a parent doesn't mean you stop being a person, a partner, or a sexual being. Your body isn't broken. You don't have to bounce back. You get to move forward. If you're pregnant, postpartum, supporting someone who is, or simply want a more honest conversation about sexuality and parenthood, this episode is for you. . 💚 Connect with Lauren / LNG Coaching: linktr.ee/relationshipcoachlaurengoyette 🎙️ Desire Dialogues is hosted by Lauren Goyette, sexuality educator, relationship coach, and future author of NAKED, NOT SORRY: The Pleasure Education You Deserved, But Never Got.
