Sex is an integral part of many people's relationships. But for some, a loss of libido is common after life-changing events, such as pregnancy and childbirth, according to the NHS.

Reality TV star and fitness coach Holly Hagan-Blyth says this happened to her after having her son.

"I could have said, 'listen, if you don't touch me ever again, I'm not even bothered' because that's just how I felt at the time," she said when co-hosting the CBeebies Parenting Helpline.

Sex and relationship therapist Rachel Gold said mothers often expect to become intimate again after their six-week postnatal check.

"I think that really fools people into believing that this must be the time to have sex again, but it isn't true."
