Intimacy after Baby Part 4: Women's Perspective

When you have had a baby you instinctively go into mama bear mode. You have carried your baby for the past nine months, now that your baby has entered the world he or she is now your full focus. With all your focus on the baby don’t forget to make your husband a priority in your life. After the initial healing time it still may be difficult to engage in sexual relations. It also may seem like your husband is always wanting to be intimate. One of the most important things that you can do to help make a difference in your intimate relationship is making effort.  Being tired and dealing with the changes in your body may make it hard to be in the mood. If you have decided to nurse some women experience breast tenderness.  While your body is also going to be more tired while producing milk it’s important to take time for intimacy. When you make an effort for intimacy it can result in a pleasurable experience for you, as well as for your husband.
