Sex after having a baby 18+

Lisa

Hey 💕 I wanted to share something kind of vulnerable but real… I recently had my first intimate experience since having my baby, and wow, it brought up so many feelings. Good, weird, nervous, exciting, all of it.

I was super nervous at first—my body doesn’t feel the same, I wasn’t sure how I’d respond physically, and to be honest, I was scared of lactating while he was sucking on my breast, feeling attractive because my new fupa, and stretch marks. But the person I was with was really patient and in tune with me. He took things slow, read my body language, and let me ease into everything at my own pace.

It actually felt amazing once I relaxed. It wasn’t perfect, but it reminded me that I’m still me underneath the mom-mode. I still deserve pleasure and softness and connection. I do wish it didn’t get interrupted by my baby waking up, but that’s real life right now 😅

Has anyone else had an experience like this—where sex felt both overwhelming and empowering after baby? I’d love to hear how y’all reconnected with your bodies postpartum. 💬💗
