Episode notes
Impact of Pregnancy on Intimacy
- Physical intimacy can decline significantly after pregnancy loss and childbirth due to emotional and physical factors.
- Initiating intimacy often becomes one-sided, and unspoken emotional hurt creates barriers to connection.
Co-Manage Household and Intimacy
- Stop trying to manage household and intimacy burdens alone; co-manage responsibilities with your partner.
- Use transparent communication and intentional actions to build trust and intimacy back.
Intimacy Reflects Emotional Connection
- Sexual desire is deeply connected to mutual playfulness, connection, and emotional safety, not just physical need.
- Intimacy suffers when one partner chooses escapism (like video games) over engagement with their spouse.
