Stephanie opened up about her personal feelings after having a baby, saying that “she didn’t feel sexy”, which had an effect on the intimacy between the pair.
“I think the bigger change happens with the woman, in my opinion,” Stephanie said.
“I say that for a number of reasons. Yes, at the top the first you’re going to think of is physically, right because physically so much changes.

“I went from physically looking in a certain type of way and feeling a type of way to … after having a baby, I just didn’t feel sexy, and I didn’t feel like I want to necessarily be touched or for you to even give me attention because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh I had a C-section.’ I just didn’t feel like myself.”
