BEFORE THE POSTNATAL EXAMINATION – CONCLUSION

For other women intercourse is an important part of comfort and closeness, both valuing and being valued. There are also those women with strong feminist views who wish to prove themselves unaffected by childbirth. The sense that the body has been irrevocably changed by the birth of the baby can be particularly strong in those women who were ambivalent about the pregnancy, and in whom the sense of self-worth is connected to their being able to compete with men in a man’s world. They may be unable to accept the changes that have come as a result of acknowledging their womanhood. Pain or difficulty with intercourse, or lack of sexual arousal may fuel their anger and resentment and be a potent cause of psychosexual problems in the future.
