Did you know approximately 40% of first-time mums are not intimate a great deal after a baby is born? The good news is that this is just a phase many relationships go through.
Also, that more marriages break up in the first 18 months after childbirth then at any other time? Although there are no surveys, it’s safe to assume that the lack of intimacy is a major contributing factor.
That’s why it’s important to understand why it’s happening & have open honest conversations about it.
