“…It is of great interest to researchers to know how women cope with the changes that appear at the stage in which women restart their sexuality after childbirth, because for many of these women it is a time of great change [ 26 ]. This period was determined considering that, between 6 and 12 months postpartum, women begin to solve the problems that affect sexuality, improving sexual function, although without reaching pre-pregnancy levels [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. On the other hand, compared to the study conducted by O’Malley et al, the present study exhibited a greater depth in phenomenon thanks to the triangulation of data collection methods (in-depth interviews, discussion groups, and online forum), and by conducting it in different locations [ 1 ].…”

“…Women may tend to delay sexual relations because they are not yet ready, due to the changes they are experiencing [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Although most women tend to return to sexual relations between the third and sixth month postpartum, some authors suggest that many women experience at least one sexual problem [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…The challenges faced by women during this period are largely due to the demanding nature of postpartum. After childbirth, women present physical factors such as the presence of perineal trauma, with dyspareunia being the factor that affects sexual functionality and satisfaction [ 9 , 10 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Common emotional factors at this stage also influence the experience of sexuality, including depression, the responsibility of assuming new roles, fears that accompany motherhood, and self-image distortion [ 7 , 19 ].…”

“…The study by Priddis et al was performed on women who had suffered perineal trauma, described some of the strategies women use to cope with the new reality between 7 weeks and 12 years postpartum [ 20 ]. However, none of the articles focus on the strategies that women adopt in sexual relations during the first six months postpartum, despite this period being the time when women have their first sexual encounter after childbirth [ 5 , 6 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

This study aimed to determine the strategies used by women to adapt to the changes that affect the first sexual relations after childbirth. A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach used three data collection techniques (in-depth interviews, discussion groups, and online forums). Thirty-six women in the first six months postpartum participated in the study, from physiotherapy centers with maternal child specialties in several locations in Spain. Women with different types of delivery, presence or absence of perineal trauma during delivery, previous deliveries, and different types of breastfeeding were included. Among the strategies, closeness support and understanding were the ones that women used to adjust to the new situation, in order to improve the couple’s relationship, intimacy, and cope with the significant changes that appear in the first six months postpartum. Changes and adaptations in sexual practices become a tool for coping with a new sexuality, especially if it is affected by the presence of pain or discomfort associated with physical changes. Personal time facilitates emotional management and improvement of emotional changes related to the demands of motherhood. Accepting the changes that motherhood brings is critical to dealing with the new situation. Strategies used by postpartum women focus on acceptance, self-care, partner, couple time, personal time, and adapting encounters. The findings of this study are of interest to health professionals as they provide insight into how women cope with the changes that appear in the first six months postpartum. In this way, the findings will be able to transmit to couples the alternatives they can adopt before the resumption of sexual relations to improve satisfaction both as a couple and in terms of sexuality after childbirth.

“…In this way, the reduced look at this field of women's life is highlighted, since the widened look at sexuality, in addition to reproductive issues, is part of an integral health care. 3,9 Among the factors that interfere with women's health during the puerperium, the beliefs brought about by culture directly affect the freedom of choice and the realization of their rights. It is revealed that, even today, most women exercise maternity in a compulsory manner, often without conditions for it to be safe, socially supported and pleasurable, a fact that evidences gender inequality.…”
