Postpartum Transition

Do kids kill your sex life?

Well, they certainly change it. There is now a tiny bundle of needs that seems to absorb every last ounce of parental energy. It’s hard to maintain a vibrant sex life when you’re running on empty.

New mothers may experience:

• massive hormonal changes as the body adjusts to the birth.

• the need to adjust to a post-baby body.

• a disconnect between a body being used to grow/birth/feed a baby vs. a body being used for sexual pleasure.

• challenges prioritizing a sexual relationship over the needs of the baby and herself.

New fathers may experience:

• a feeling of separation as mother and baby bond.

• an adjustment to his partner’s body after the baby is born.

• challenges integrating the mother-whore dichotomy that is so prevalent in our society.

• fatigue and pressure to ‘man up’ as a father.

Instead of another baby blanket or stuffed animal, consider getting the new parents in your life a coaching session to ensure they stay intimate and connected as they transition into parenthood!
