Pregnancy is a beautiful phase for a woman, where a new life forms within her. But wait, before you wash out with emotions, let’s be true to each other. As much as it is a precious time for women, it can be quite difficult to keep those intimate moments alive with a partner. Especially after pregnancy, when your whole time goes up in changing your baby’s diapers, feeding them, and making them sleep.

So, how exactly do things change? What major differences are there? And most importantly, what can you do to make the distance between you and your partner less? Let’s discuss it right here!

1. Let Healing Take Place

While getting back to your intimate routine might seem exciting, you must first let the healing process of your body take place. A woman’s body after giving birth is not only vulnerable but it needs all the care and a healthy lifestyle to bounce back to normal. So, before diving into romance, make sure your body aligns with your feelings and is ready for it.

2. Get Ready for the Change

Intimacy after pregnancy is different. Not only the physical needs of the body changes but also the passion during intimacy varies. While you can notice physical changes in the newly mom-body, on the other hand, there can be some hormonal shifts too. One includes changes in estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to difficulty in building mood. So, be mindful of these inevitable changes when planning to get cosy.

3. Shift in Priorities

As much as you love your partner, there is now a new whole individual in between you two, your newborn. While you’d like to get romantic with your partner now and then, you must also be busy with breastfeeding or taking care of your little one’s needs. This shift in priorities needs to be discussed and keeping this in mind you can schedule personal needs or randomly surprise your partner, whenever you both get time.

4. Give Your Body a Second Chance

Giving your body a second chance after pregnancy is important as it has undergone major changes. You might not have the sleek body or abs like before but don’t forget your body has birthed a baby and the change will eventually come with time. So, maintain the self-esteem and rock your baby-bod like never before.

5. Give Intimacy a New Touch

Intimacy after pregnancy doesn’t need to be all sexual. It can also be about physical touch which will help you reform your relationship after a baby. You can start with a few kisses or simply cuddle to bond better. Giving intimacy a new touch after you start a new life is all you need.

6. Communication is the Key

Don’t forget, communication is the key to all the confusion and doubts you have about intimacy. It’s better to have an open chat with your partner about your desires and needs than to contemplate the thought. By communicating well, you both can decide together what limits you want to set at the start of your intimacy journey after pregnancy and how you want to take it further. So, open up and have the much-needed talk.

While these are some of the ways with which you can make sure your intimate life doesn’t suffer, there can be a few other ways too which can help you take your lovelife further with a new twist. So, don’t forget to share those ideas with us too!
