Sex During Pregnancy & Postpartum with The V Club


Listen Later

Navigating a satisfying sex life with your partner during pregnancy and postpartum can be a bit challenging for many. Fear of hurting the baby, working through body image issues and share logistics can create a gap in a sexual relationship.

In this episode of Yoga| Birth| Babies, I speak with New York City based sex and relationship expert, Alexandria Ross from the V Club, a new wellness center in NYC focused on relationships, motherhood, and sexual wellness. They both share valuable advice about finding your pregnant and postpartum sexiness as well as dispelling myths and fears around sex during pregnancy. And of course, we sneak in a bit of pelvic floor health and how it can add to better sex!

In this episode:

  • What brought Courtney and Alexandra to this work and a bit about themselves.
  • Common fears and concerns from both partners points of view about sex during pregnancy.
  • How the different trimesters affects the ebb and flow of sex during pregnancy.
  • Challenges of sex during pregnancy.
  • Reasons might someone need to abstain from sex during pregnancy.
  • Postpartum sex- what women should expect during this time.
  • A discussion about the experience of a decreased sex drive, fatigue, feeling sexy in your new body and the feeling of over being “over touched.”
  • How to reconnect to your partner.
  • The relationship between a healthy pelvic floor, orgasm, and sex.
  • Healing after a traumatic birth and finding comfort and reconnection with your body and partner.
  • Advice for new and expectant parents.
  • The V Club!
