Episode notes
Women’s health and sexual wellbeing advocate Clio Wood speaks to journalist Rosie Taylor about all things postnatal sex. Whether you're in a straight or LGBTQ+ relationship, becoming a parent can turn your sex life upside down. Clio chats about everything from when it is “normal” to restart your sex life after birth, where to seek help for common postnatal sexual health problems, and why it can seem impossible to feel like a “good mother” and “sexy partner” at the same time.
Clio’s book Get Your Mojo Back is out now and you can buy it here. Follow her on Instagram: @andbreathewellbeing and @itscliowood.

Journalist Rosie Taylor is on a mission to find out why we so often fail to give mothers the care and support they need after birth.
On the Mother Bodies podcast, she speaks to fascinating guests about how politics, prejudices and systemic problems are affecting postnatal care – and what we can do to improve parents’ lives for the better.
