From Ouch! To Ahhh
Parenting & Relationships
Are you a new mom wondering why sex is so…different since you became a mother? You’re not alone. Maybe you haven’t had sex yet and are worried about how it will feel. Or you fear your sex drive is simply gone for good. The truth is, having a baby can change everything you thought you knew about sexual intimacy and desire. In "From Ouch! To Ahhh…The New Mom’s Guide To Sex After Baby," sex educator Sarah J. Swofford, MPH, addresses what most new moms wonder but few know who to ask: Is something wrong with me because I don’t want to have sex? Drawing on interviews with moms of young children, women’s sexual health research, and her own personal experience as a mother of two, Swofford uncovers the “why” behind common sexual challenges and provides practical solutions to empower and reassure any new mother.

Relationship challenges of new parenthood
Becoming new parents together is powerful. Loving and raising a child together is a profound connection. It's also tough on sexual and intimate relationships. But parents who understand that sexual challenges are normal for most new parents, and are patient with each other, build trust and intimacy that will deepen as their babies get older.
Sex after pregnancy
New moms worry about sex after pregnancy. Each woman's experiences and emotions about intimacy are different and unique. There is no right or wrong way. Striving for a 'no pressure' approach, where expectations are broad and a new mom only does what feels good to her, will relieve anxiety.
