What Really Makes Us “Ready” To Resume Sexual Activity Postpartum with with Dr. Rachel Ollivier
Today's episode we have Dr. Rachel Ollivier - She is a maternal and women's health researcher and nurse practitioner and clinical scientist at BC Women's hospital.
We talk about sexual health after birth and questioning the 6-week checkmark until you really are ready. Dr. Ollivier was inspired to do her research because, she says, “We didn’t have a lot of research on sexual health after birth that specifically looked at sexual health in the context of a more holistic approach.”

So in this episode we dive right into the questions parents often ask us about comfort objects, when to introduce a lovey, how to go about bringing one into the mix etc. and why you might introduce one!

So helpful
Love the format and information!
Such a helpful, easy-to-digest resource!
Every episode is so straight to the point, with good humor and lots of encouragement for parents. It’s been very helpful on my journey with a newborn, and I also listen to the episodes about older kiddos so I know what’s to come!
Thankful!
The information I have gleaned from these podcasts has been so incredibly helpful in creating a routine and sleep training my triplets. Erin even messaged me back on Instagram to answer one of my questions. Very very thankful for all of the insight!
