The Secret to Better Sex After Having Babies
I have trained lots of women in my Strong Sexy Mammas exercise classes both online and in person. I hear a lot of the emotional struggles… not just related to fitness. Many women report pain, discomfort, etc when returning to intimacy after giving birth. So what is the secret to better sex after having a baby. Man, doesn’t everyone want to know? The truth is, the secret in many cases is simple. A well functioning pelvic floor can mean stronger orgasms and better sexual satisfaction with our partners. The weight of the fetus during pregnancy and the pushing we go through to get them out, often leads to a weakened pelvic floor. Checking in regularly with our pelvic floor can often help. Check out the pelvic floor section on StrongSexyMammas.com for some exercise ideas and considerations. Better sex often leads to better relationships with our partners. And better relationships with our partners often leads to being better parents to our kids.
Strong Sexy Mammas participants MUST have medical clearance for their level of participation. We also recommend women see a specialized physical therapist for some one on one attention. This is standard of care in other parts of the world. We believe it should be in the USA and Australia as well.
Watch my interview with the principal women’s physiotherapist, at Women in Focus Physiotherapy. Elizabeth ‘Lyz’ Evans is not just a women’s health expert, but also a rockstar mum of two. Aren’t they cuties? If you live in Sydney, Australia, I highly recommend paying her a visit!
The above video is just a snippet of a very complex topic, that differs for everyone. Please stay tuned for more of my interview with Lyz Evans. The mind, body connection for activating the correct muscles can be difficult, particularly after childbirth. Your carer can help you perform these exercises correctly by showing you exactly what you’re doing using an ultrasound.
My Strong Sexy Mammas fitness classes in our pregnancy category help to minimize the risks of abs separation while still keeping you fit. I have a prenatal and postnatal diastasis and core consultant certification. My post-pregnancy classes keep diastasis recti in mind as well. All participants must have medical clearance for their specific level of exercise. Strong Sexy Mammas recommends you go see a women’s health physical therapist.
