Abstract

Perinatal sexuality and the changes that women experience in relation to their sexual and corporal identity after childbirth have been a controversial and hot topic within Perinatal Health. The puerperium is a period of adaptation in which various transformations take place in the lives of women on the way they become mothers, but these changes can also have repercussions in the sexual relation with their partner, reason why their partners also can be affected by them. How the couple deals with these changes will be crucial because it might affect how the parents relate with their baby. This study aims to approach the personal experience of both women and men during the perinatal period to know, through their narrative, how the change and re-negotiation of body and sexual identities occurs in the new mother and how this can impact on the sexual relationship with their partners.
