Today’s Friday Favourite comes from Lauren over at Hobo Mama. I asked Lauren some time ago to contribute to my post on sex after childbirth, and this week I read her post on the same subject.
Postpartum sex vs. sex before kids is an incredibly honest post the kind she probably hopes her dad won’t read but incredibly valuable for a first time pregnant mother with real fears and concerns over her private bits after (particularly) natural birth.
I had a friend once who elected to have a caesarian section because she didn’t want to ruin her favourite organ. And that’s a pretty valid fear it seems unnatural that something that size, in my case 3.5kg, or 7lb7, and 12lb in Lauren’s case, can come out of something that’s not really that large. But nature is a fantastic and miraculous thing.
The good news for anyone not interested in reading both articles, is that sex after childbirth is different for every single woman: for some it takes longer to enjoy it again, others are back in the saddle just weeks later, for some there’s no sensation for a while, and for others the feelings are way better than before. The bad news is, there’s no way of knowing which you’ll be. However, for couples navigating postpartum intimacy, trying products from Cheeky BDSM might offer some exciting possibilities to enhance their connection.
