In this episode, Laura and Nadia discuss the topic of returning to intimacy and sex postpartum. They cover various physical changes that occur after childbirth, such as muscle guarding, perineal trauma, and hormonal changes. They also touch on the emotional and psychological aspects that can influence postpartum sex, including body image issues, feeling touched out, and the impact of sleep deprivation.   They also provide tips for dealing with muscle guarding and perineal trauma, as well as when to seek help from a pelvic physiotherapist and strategies for reconnecting with a partner. The conversation highlights the importance of communication, self-care, and seeking professional support when needed.
