Postpartum sex - Why you're unhappy, unhorny and dry | with Physio Grace Coombs
Let's talk about sex, baby! This week we’re joined again by women’s health physio Grace Coombs for a chat that’s as informative as it is hilarious. We’re talking all things postpartum sex — from pain and discomfot to pelvic floor and all things hormones. Nothing is off limits, and yes, there are plenty of laughs. Whether you’re nervous, curious, or just need to know you’re not the only one, this episode is a must-listen.
In honour of C-Section Awareness Month, we’re sharing Alice’s two wild birth stories, very different from each other but both full of unexpected twists! Her first birth ended in an emergency c-section without her husband by her side. Her second, an attempted HBAC, so close to her dream goal but eventually led to a rare classical c-section. Alice speaks candidly about how these experiences impacted her, including the birth trauma and mental health challenges that followed. This one's a roller coaster and one that so many will relate to. We’re so grateful to Alice for sharing. 💛&honey https://andhoney.store/Birth Trauma SupportBirth Afterthoughts - https://www.cdhb.health.nz/health-services/birth-afterthoughts-clinic/Healing Birth - https://www.healingbirth.co.nz/

In this episode we chat with Gabs about the birth of her first baby boy. Gabs is also a step mum so her and her husband weren't sure whether they would add to their family but as you'll here through the episode, despite a very rough pregnancy journey with hyperemesis and mental health Gabs absolutely loves being a mum. We really enjoyed chatting to Gabs about the ups and downs of her journey and she reminded us just how good we have it in NZ for maternal health care compared to the USA! We hope you enjoy this episode
