What happens to our sex lives after we have a baby?

02/20/25 • 22 min

This week on Rebel Mom Boss, we're talking about sex, baby! LITERALLY.

If you're a new mom or about to become a mom, you've probably heard your partner joke about that six week mark, the date that gets circled on the calendar for when women are given the all-clear to resume sexual activity after they've given birth. But, for many women, postpartum sex is a HUGE turnoff, for a variety of reasons.

To figure out why that is, we're joined by Dr. Laurie Betito, a clinical Psychologist and President of The Sexual Health Network of Quebec, Author of “The Sex Bible for People Over 50,” and co-host of the podcast “Passion with Dr. Laurie and Jon Pole”.

If you're struggling with intimacy postpartum, please consult your own physician for medical advice.
