🆘 POSTPARTUM PENETRATION 🆘 The only thing scarier than the first postpartum poop…Am I right, mamas?
Okay, but real talk. Being medically cleared does not always mean you are ready to return to s*x 🙀
We all have different comfort levels, different birth experiences and different healing timelines 🕗
Plus, the fear-tension-pain cycle is real, y’all 🔄 Which is why setting boundaries when returning to s*x is so important.
My biggest tip? ⭐️ Take penetration off the pedestal ⭐️ At least initially…
This allows you to enjoy being intimate without the fear of penetration weighing on you 🙌🏻
Instead, start with self-exploration
and external stimulation only. Remind those tissues of what pleasure feels like 😍
And, when you feel ready, here are a few tips to relax your pelvic floor in order to decrease the likelihood of pain👇🏼
✅ Practice pelvic floor relaxation exercises prior to sex
✅ Make foreplay your best friend
✅ Perform deep belly breathing prior to and during insertion
✅ Use lube!
✅ Try positions where you can control the depth, speed and angle of penetration
