#PostBabyHankyPanky: Keeping the Spark Alive

We have developed a series of short videos (less than 1 minute each) based on our recent research on psychological
risk and protective factors affecting the sexual and relationship satisfaction of new parents.

 

The goal of this video series is to help normalize postpartum sexual concerns and open the lines of communication
both between partners, and also between health care providers and new parents.
