Owning your new motherhood identity and sexuality after birth.
Having a baby naturally changes everything and that includes your sex life. Not just our sexual appetite, but physically when it comes to our bodies and emotionally in the way we think about sex.
So how do you navigate this new territory from a physical and emotional perspective?
Firstly, yes, it can be done. Despite the zombie-tiredness, the to-do list as long as your arm, and the mountains of laundry, it is possible to get your mojo back after you have kids.
Join Mother+ for an evening session with author and women's health and sex positivity advocate, Clio Wood, as she helps to identify the challenges we face and guide you to the right solution for you (hint: it's not always easy!).
Taking a more refreshing approach to this subject, she will also answer all your questions, drawing on her expertise and personal experience in a fun and relaxed setting.
You will leave the session with honest, practical advice as well as simple tips to apply to your own relationship. Copies of Clio’s book ‘How to get your mojo back’ will be available to purchase on the night.
