Navigating a satisfying sex life with your partner during pregnancy and postpartum can be a bit challenging for many. Fear of hurting the baby, working through body image issues and share logistics can create a gap in a sexual relationship.
In this episode of Yoga| Birth| Babies, I speak with New York City based sex and relationship experts from the V Club, a new wellness center in NYC focused on relationships, motherhood, and sexual wellness.
