Supermodel Ashley Graham recently discussed how she and her husband Justin Ervin have jumped back into their sex life after the birth of their 9-month-old son, Isaac.

In an interview with People, she said she and Ervin plan their sex around Isaac's nap times. 

"When you have a newborn, they usually sleep for a couple of hours, so we'll put him in the bassinet on the other side of the room and get it going," Graham told People. 

Sex isn't the only thing the two plan. Graham and Ervin have scheduled date nights every Thursday, where they get creative on how they spend time together. 

"We'll take a walk, go to dinner, take a drive," she told People. "That has been something that's been really great because 24/7 it's about Isaac and we're both working parents now, so we need that extra time for ourselves that we used to have all the time."

Graham has continued to promote a message of body positivity throughout her pregnancy and afterward

The 33-year-old said she often gets asked by other women if she was scared to have sex again after Isaac was born in January. 

"The reason I wasn't was because I know my vagina was made to have a baby and to push it out," Graham told People.

Graham has always openly promoted self-love and body positivity. She has only expanded that message since she became pregnant with her son, documenting the changes her body has gone through during pregnancy, from stretch marks to loose skin.

In September, the supermodel posted a video to Instagram forming a heart around her stomach with her hands, encouraging a message of body positivity for people who have gone through pregnancy.
