Returning to intimacy postpartum is a truly individual approach. Therefore in an effort to support women with this journey in feeling safe and prepared in their own bodies, I have outlined a possible progression towards penetrative intercourse. 

The progression created here is a framework meant to support you where ever you may be on this journey. Please make it your own, spend as much time as necessary at each phase, and remember that it is not always a straight line. 

This is intended form women without underlying pelvic pain that are working to prepare their bodies and minds for penetrative intercourse after birth and once given medical clearance.
