Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:

1. Embracing Your New Body: Self-Care Postpartum Kaci emphasizes the importance of prioritizing self-care and acknowledging the physical changes after birth. She advocates for attending postpartum check-ups and introduces the idea of using lubrication as a helpful tool for comfortable intercourse during this time.
2. Rediscovering Your Sensuality: Body Awareness Techniques The journey back to intimacy begins with understanding your transformed body. Kaci encourages new mothers to engage in sensory exploration, breathing exercises, and specific massages that aid in healing and comfort. She also suggests the novel use of a squatty potty and mirror work to foster a positive body image.
3. Mental and Emotional Well-being: Psychological Support and Myth-Busting Mental health is as crucial as physical health in the postpartum period. Kaci recommends therapy, creating a robust support system, and engaging in mindfulness practices to maintain a healthy mindset. She also addresses the need to dispel common myths surrounding post-birth sexuality.
4. Strengthening Your Partnership: Communication and Empathy Finally, Kaci outlines strategies for new parents to maintain a strong connection with their partners. Open communication about desires, expectations, and the emotional complexities faced by both partners is vital. She underlines the significance of empathy and mutual support during this transformative phase.

For those eager to deepen their understanding of postpartum intimacy, Kaci's tips provide a foundational guide for nurturing both self and relationships after childbirth.
