Abstract

The period after birth is challenging for couples, as childbirth itself may impact everyday life activities and the care for the newborn and might also affect their sexual life after childbirth. This chapter provides detail on physical and psychological trauma related to the process of labour and birth. It addresses various consequences that may impact their future relationship, such as perineal trauma, instrumental labour, the loss of the baby, loss of contact with the partner, or disappointment about the mode of birth. Alongside the theoretical notions, the chapter provides examples from clinical practice. This chapter aims to empower midwives in their important role in recognizing and helping the couple re-establish a healthy sexual relationship after birth.
