Set the scene. Say the naughty words. Talk to him about the first time he made you feel like you wanted to climb the walls or break the headboard. See,
-
a part of what he’s struggling with is he can’t get the memories of labor out of his head. This is where you come up. Remind him about how much

good sex the two of you have had; what’s so phenomenal about your intimacy that created your baby in the first place.

For the first year or so, post-baby, he’s adjusting and so are you. Be kind to your body by not trying to squeeze into lingerie that may not fit (or fit the
