Postpartum sex

In this episode of Consexual, Nthabi Nhlapo speaks to Dr Marlene Wasserman (Dr Eve), a trained sexologist and sexual medicine therapist, about postpartum sex. The postpartum period, sometimes called 'the fourth trimester', is the weeks after a woman gives birth. By some guidelines, it is six months, while others say it can take up to a year after. Postpartum sex means sex that you have during this time. While many women can attest to the challenging adjustment after such a significant life change, others say they enjoy sex more after giving birth than before they were parents.
Dr Eve speaks about how long after giving birth you can have sex, what it will feel like, what body changes to expect and more.
