Let's talk about something we really don't talk about enough after having a baby: intimacy. And I don't just mean sex. I mean emotional closeness, feeling connected to your partner, feeling like you can exist as a woman—not just a mom who knows everyone's nap schedule. Here's the thing no one says out loud: being "cleared" at six weeks means you are medically safe. That's it. It does not mean your body, hormones, nervous system, emotions, or identity are on the same timeline. Confidence and desire don't magically appear when you're exhausted, touched-out, and running on adrenaline. If you're struggling with intimacy after baby, you're not broken—you were just never given the full picture.
