Sexual Desire and Pleasure across the Pregnancy-Postpartum-Parenting Transition
Sexual desire and pleasure don’t disappear with a positive pregnancy test – but sexuality does change for new parents. This symposium will present research on sexual wellbeing at four timepoints across the transition to parenthood: during pregnancy, in the peripartum transition, postpartum, and during early parenting.
