Sex After Baby and working full time
Show your support
I definitely understand. I work full time and have a ton of things to do when i get home. Plus im sleep deprived. The last thing i want to do is have sex with my mate whem i do majority of the chores. Alsp, the birth control that im on has decreased my sex drive. I try to do it once a week with my boyfriend but that feels like a chore.
I've been this way for a while. I wouldn't care if we didnt have sex. I hate feeling this way but I'm glad I'm not alone in this situation. I work full time as well as take care of my 2 year old and 9 month old. Its exhausting
I think most women feel like this with a baby! Youre doing amazing and it wont be this tiring forever x

Im in the same boat. My son is only a few months old. My partner and i havent been intimate since i was a few months pregnant. Each time i brought it up, he would say that i dont even have enough energy to walk let alone have sex. Now baby is out... he said we have a baby how can we have sex. Now that i think about it... is he avoiding sex all together or hes just very understanding 🤔
I go through times when it's all the time and then we get out of the habit because I fall asleep before he comes to bed. It is a rollercoaster and he gets so mad when we don't have sex. I am just always so tired from working full time and doing everything around house and for kids!
Omg SAME. Like who has the energy 😫 my husband is very understanding of a lot of things but this is not one of them. It’s one of those “it’s not you, it’s me” situations but you just gotta pull together a bit of energy & make it happen tbh.
It is very tiring I can’t believe there are so many of us mummies that work full time and feel exactly the same I’m also in the same boat I work full time and have two children. We try to spice things up with more toys and and games but sometimes it’s just really hard to make time!
Becareful! Partner and I finally made time for sex and I am pregnant again. Pretty much had a 3 month break
You’re not alone! It’s exhausting, tiring, frustrating and all of the above but you just have to make the time and it’ll get easier as the babies get older. It’s just really important to keep the spark alive in my opinion. It’s easy to go without months of sex if it’s the same ol’ same ol’ and no romance or passion. But the Same way it takes effort and hard work to maintain a clean house, the same goes for your sex life and both of you have to do your part to keep the sex alive.
Thank you 🙂 I’m just hoping it gets easier.
