Having Great Sex After Baby

Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the body which plays a role in social bonding, sexual reproduction, and during and after childbirth. It is released during the stretching of the cervix and uterus during a vaginal labor, and with stimulation of the nipples from breastfeeding. This helps with bonding with the baby, milk production, and during the birth itself, as it acts as a pain reliever

Oxytocin, commonly referred to as the “love hormone,” bonds you to your mate through physical touch, sexual activity, and orgasms. The large amount of oxytocin released during birth, and simply the profound experience itself, can add a special closeness to your partner. The way you see each other has also shifted. The connection with the baby the two of you have divinely created is a very intimate bond.

Use the healing time in the first few weeks after childbirth to be present and affectionate with your partner. Hold one another, kiss, gaze into each other’s eyes, and gently caress each other, valuing this new stage of life.

The oxytocin released in physical touch will increase your sexual drive, so you will be open to resuming sexual intimacy when your body is ready.

Fighting Fatigue

Proper exercise and nutrition will boost your energy, mood, and your sex drive. Many exercises, like yoga and walking, can be done with your partner and your baby to provide both physical stimulation and bonding benefits.

Find the Time

Finding the time is most likely the biggest deterrent from having sex. The times when your baby is asleep is crucial time for rest, and also an opportunity for intimacy.

Post Pregnancy Hormones and Sex

The increase in hormones will also increase the number of nerve endings near your clitoris, leading to more frequent orgasms. Hormone changes may be causing postpartum depression. These feelings may decrease arousal, but what better way to relax than an orgasm?

Better Orgasms

Your vagina could have actually changed direction after giving birth, allowing it easier to orgasm in certain positions that weren’t possible before having your baby. Some women report having increased vaginal muscle control after carrying a baby, especially if you do your kegels.

Do Your Kegels

Kegels are exercises you can do to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, make it tight. Continuing these exercises regularly will improve the muscle tone of your vagina, making sex more enjoyable for both partners.

Childbirth is such an amazing, life-changing experience. Taking care of your body will increase the healing process, and boost your energy, to be more available for intimate time with your partner.

Properly tending to your mind, body, and soul will ensure your family’s health, happiness, and prosperity.

Postpartum Care For Great Sex

Postpartum Recovery and Care

The greater you care for your body, the quicker you will heal, and the quicker you will be safe to have sex. Recovery begins in the last few months of your pregnancy. Your partner can begin to stretch your vagina to prepare for childbirth, use this time as erotic foreplay. With lubrication, have your mate take two fingers and circle the inside of the vagina. This will bring calming attention to the area and added flexibility, prior to the transformation of childbirth.

Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or C-section, your body has gone through huge changes. Vaginal births have the potential to tear your vagina, leaving you 5-6 weeks to heal before making love. C-section births require healing from the incision, and bladder and organ displacement. C-section’s healing process before it’s comfortable and safe to have sex is less than a vaginal birth at about 4-6 weeks, there can however be other issues with sex after a cesarean.

Belly binding is one of the most important things aside from good nutrition and rest when recovering from pregnancy and childbirth. A support belt compresses the abdomen to reduce pain, discomfort, and swelling from an incision. The belt offers protection and support to increase mobility, so you’re able to perform daily functions.

Massaging with essential oils is another integral part of the postpartum healing process. Use this time for intimate massage as well. Touch and genuine affection is just as nourishing as making love. Essential oils also provide the body with the nutrients it needs to reduce scars and stretch marks.

Having an exciting and fulfilling sex life is just as important as caring for your baby. Transforming the intimacy with your baby to each other can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Properly tending to your mind, body, and soul will ensure your families health, happiness, and prosperity.

Post Partum Care to Include Binder Especially After Cesarean Section Birth

August 2, 2013 by Christina Hemming Leave a Comment

c section, hospital — After C Section in hospital

Binding is an ancient tool for Pregnancy Support, C Section birth and postnatal support. While pregnant binding lifts baby off of pubic bone and helps stabilize the pelvis. After birth Compression brings fibers together, reduces swelling and tearing and at the same time offers some protection for the incision. Soft abdominal binders help support the changing body through pregnancy, vaginal delivery & Cesarean Section recovery.

You deserve support and protection at this special time, but the ancient healing art of binding is less well known today as I discovered after my own emergency c section. During pregnancy abdominal binders support the weight of the baby and the body, and reduces the load on the skin and stretched out abdominal muscles. If there isn’t enough support or silica/elastic properties to the skin, stretch marks can happen.

Cesarean Section birth requires special recovery care, as surgery is stressful,painful and now a new baby requires your loving attention. Binding will reduce your pain and scar, and make it easier to get out of bed. Binding will protect and support your incision before rolling over to get out of bed. Compression supports your abdomen so it doesn’t feel like your insides are going to fall out, and will reduce scar tissue. Many women do not realize that the Doctor cut into 6 layers inside the abdomen, and then stretched open the muscles. With binding you avoid the feeling of feeling unsupported, vulnerable to gravity and afraid to move.

It is the fascia that surrounds the muscles which is cut, and then the 6 layers are sutured (sewn) back. For any birth, the uterus and intestines also benefit from support, as it shrinks and moves back into place. Of course do not do anything that is painful, and please be mindful to not wrap yourself too tightly. It is about support, not strangulation or cutting off blood supply. Being gentle and easy with yourself during these first months will help you heal better for later on, when life gets busier.

Binding also supports organs to go back to their original size and location. The uterus shrinks up to 50% within the first 3 days, so its important to support tummy.

Bladder, intestinal and reproductive complications can arise from a c-section or other abdominal surgeries. The support of binding means less tearing, which means less scar tissue, inside and out. Less scar tissue means more comfort and fewer secondary complications and a better looking scar. With belly binding you can avoid the tearing and infections that lead to possible abdominal adhesions, painful periods, and a lumpy scar.

Our uniquely designed C Section Recovery Belt does not contain elastic making it perfect for immediate use after c section birth or other abdominal surgery. We designed it to be as soft and yet adjustable, to allow you to find the perfect binding pressure and adjust it as you heal. We then came up with the detachable support strap, which does contain elastic, for another level of fully adjustable support, font or back.

The Hem It In Belt great for post vaginal delivery, or about 2 weeks after the cesarean, when you want more compression and support. The cotton covered elastic provides firm support when you are getting back to your daily routine, or just going to the car with baby. After incising through the 6 layers,our muscles were stretched open to get the baby out, so holding them close is a good thing.

Let AbdoMend™ bring you back to your sexy shape. Get both our belts plus a comprehensive DVD for simple and effective ways to take care of your scar to make it smooth and flat while reducing potential complications, in our Deluxe C-Section Recovery Kit.
