287. The Postpartum Period, or Love in Sterilization Mode
Episode notes
Bringing a baby home changes everything—including intimacy.
In the first exhausting weeks with little Maximo, Zuzana and Martin discover that postpartum recovery isn’t about returning to their old life. It’s about learning a new rhythm together. Between sleepless nights, breastfeeding, healing, hormones, medical checkups, and plenty of humor, closeness slowly finds its way back.
Their journey explores postpartum healing, changing libido, physical comfort, contraception, pelvic-floor recovery, warning signs, and the importance of asking for help. But above all, it shows that intimacy doesn’t disappear after childbirth—it simply learns to be more patient.
A warm, funny, educational, and deeply tender episode about postpartum recovery, parenthood, sexual health, communication, and rediscovering intimacy when a tiny new universe is sleeping in the next room.
