Sex After Baby: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and What No One Talks About

In this special pre-Valentine’s Day episode of the Early-Momming Podcast, Hillary and Erica talk about something that’s rarely discussed but deeply felt: sex after having a baby. From physical pain to emotional barriers to navigating intimacy in a sleep-deprived haze, this episode is here to validate your experience—no matter where you are in the healing process.

They’re joined by Dr. Megan Rome, a pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Rome Physical Therapy in Charleston, SC. Together, they unpack what actually happens to your body postpartum, why sex might not feel the same (yet), and how to start reconnecting—with your body and your partner—at your own pace.
