Episode 66: Cleared to have sex again when I don’t feel ready - How to feel confident to share intimacy again with your partner with Dr. Chelsea Page, Sex and Relationship Therapist

Today, we are going to talk about the 6 week check-up and the clearance to resume intimate and sexual activity, and all the feelings and array of emotions you are completely allowed to feel. Most importantly, Dr Chelsea Page is coming to the show today to talk without taboo about how to communicate with your partner and express your feelings, what you want and what you don’t when it comes to intimacy with your partner post-baby. How to communicate that it’s too soon, or that you would prefer doing this or that, or simply reignite the spark between you two. 

Dr. Chelsea Page has supported hundreds of women for more than 10 years through inner healing to release the need to please all. 

She is a Sex & Relationship Therapist turned online Intimacy & Empowerment Coach. The women in her world learn how to embody their inner Soul Queen and show up in their power, pleasure, and divine presence and receive all they desire in life, love, and in building their legacy!

Chelsea came to the show today to talk about a very serious topic, the six weeks checkup and this clearance to resume intimate relations with your partner. But what if you don’t feel ready for it?

 

That’s the angle I wanted to talk about in this episode because I feel like women feel pressured to go back to having sex again to fit in what society waits from us or to please their partner sometimes - when in fact this is the last thing on your list way after exhaustion, mood swings, loss of self-confidence, and not recognizing and loving your body. 

 

Dr Chelsea and I talked about: 

❤️ How to communicate with your partner before and after this appointment and share your feelings - positive or not - about resuming physical contact and being intimate again

❤️ How to take the time to build up your self-confidence again - Dr Chelsea shared some great tips with us

❤️ What to expect pain and discomfort wise during sex after baby, what to do about it, and how to talk about it

❤️ Dr Chelsea shared some tips to reignite the spark post baby!
