Motherhood and Sexuality

Being a parent is hard, being a mother can sometimes feel even harder. It’s hard on your relationship, on your sex life, on your sense of self and how you function and fit into this new world you’ve created. .

It’s a delicate balance being a new mom while also maintain the role of wife, partner, career woman etc. Society has certain underlying expectations that overlap gender biases that also still exist making motherhood a multi-layered beautiful, while also complicated, thing to navigate. .

This photo by @mommy_brain depicts beautifully how things are not so cut and dry and as a new or veteran mother you might be trying to sort out for yourself. Acceptance of holding both conflicting feelings and talking it out with your partner can be difficult but helps to process and let your partner. It’s difficult for partners to understand what a new or veteran mom is going through if it’s not shared. Stay strong moms - you got this!
