Postpartum Sex: A Horror Story with a Very Happy Ending
Episode 94
It’s a waiting game right?
Avoid sex for 4 - 6 weeks to promote healing and to reduce the risk of infection. Sounds sexy. Hello and welcome to an episode covering a topic you have more than likely thought about, but also more than likely said to yourself, “I’ll cross that episiotomy bridge when I get to it.”
My husband helped me feel really sexy postpartum because he could not wait to have sex after six weeks.

The Obviously Not Obvious Parts
Postponing aside, there are some aspects to postpartum sex that aren’t obvious unless you’ve experienced them first hand. What your partner goes through emotionally during the birthing process and after, the process of connecting with your body again and how unfamiliar parts (both private and not) look after giving birth. What the heck do you do for those 4-6 weeks?! Is the sex better? We don’t know these things are things until they happen.
Back to the postpartum intimacy bridge. We’re going to cross it together in this episode. Grab a soft pair of sheer adventure undies because Katie is going to guide us through her experience with the ups and downs of postpartum sex.
