Sometimes you have to find a way to motivate yourself to get out of your comfy clothes and put on\u00a0a little makeup<\/a> to feel like yourself again. You and your partner might want to take time out of the daily routine to spend together (for example: why not take a bath together after the kids have gone to bed?) or even ask your partner to look after the kids for a few hours, and give yourself a break. These are all highly recommended strategies for taking care of yourself and your family!<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n couches<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n parenting<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Becoming a mother or not\u2026 A big decision!<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Some women dream of having children their whole lives, while for others it is not part of their life goal.\u00a0Wanting children is a personal decision<\/a> that you have to make alone or with your partner.<\/p>\n Getting tested for HIV and other STBBIs<\/a>\u00a0before getting pregnant is a good way to ensure that you don\u2019t have any infections, and to get treated if needed.<\/p>\n Should it be discovered that you have contracted HIV<\/a>, know that an HIV-positive pregnant woman under treatment and receiving appropriate medical care, can have a safe pregnancy and give birth to a healthy, HIV-negative baby.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n lubrifiant<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Arousal<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Lube\u2026 don\u2019t go anywhere without it!<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n To avoid lesions during vaginal and anal sex<\/a>, use water- or silicone-based lubricant.
