SEX + INTIMACY

The mere thought of having sex after childbirth can seem exhausting for new parents, especially when you consider everything that's coming their way: the nagging pain of childbirth, raging hormones, baby blues or postpartum depression, the strange bodily changes and, of course, the biggest libido-killing elephant in the room: the sheer exhaustion of having a newborn.

But even if the last thing on your mind is having sex, it won't be like that forever. In fact, according to one study, 94% of those surveyed said they were satisfied with their sex lives after giving birth, and more than half said that having a baby had made things better.
