Intimacy after birth

Dont feel so hard on ya self mama , there is such a thing as been "touched out" I never realised what it was untill I seen a video on it, n it hit the nail on the head of how I was feeling after a long day 💯, you will get that desire back agen but u also need to give your self some time for just you ... belive me this helps loads xxxxx

Yes. Talk it out if you haven’t yet. It’s important to be honest even if it’s uncomfortable. We keep checking in about this topic and remind each other that it’s ok to connect in other ways during this difficult baby stage.

Yes me! I've got a 4 year old, 3 year old and 15 month old. By the time I've looked after them all day (hubby is gone 11 hours a day) and finally wrangled them all into bed I'm only interested in how quickly I can get to sleep myself x

Ugh I totally feel 100% the same way. I'm not worried my man will necessarily go elsewhere, maybe some porn but still. I'm just too defeated, tired or having to anticipate a sleep cycle ending it's exhausting.
The very few times we've had sex this month it's been amazing but I still can't push myself to even think about it.
My husband 100% knows how I feel and it really helps talking to him about it so if you haven't done so already I do suggest maybe having a casual conversation about it.
If he supported he'll understand.
I just hope this feeling of mental and physical exhaustion goes away so we can get that spark back I hope the same goes for you!
Just know you're not alone I think it's pretty normal

I felt the same way until about 5 1/2-6 months pp. My sex drive just came out of nowhere😂 Completely normal though! I agree with above comments, have a chat with him about it😊

100% normal. I’m EBF & co-sleeping. My partner is incredibly understanding and I feel no pressure to have sex just to please him. We are enjoying our little one and show our intimacy in other ways but I make sure to check in with him every month to discuss it but we express our love every day and I make sure I tell him how attractive I find him etc. Me and my bf have the rest of our lives for sex, our little baby will only be our little baby once!!!

Me! Absolutely no libido- can't find it anywhere 🤣 My partner is less than impressed x

I feel you girl

Yup! I feel totally touched out! I can’t imagine wanting to have sex again until I go back to work, when I’ll have a whole 8hrs a day at work of not being touched - bliss!

I saw this somewhere and it helped me understand why i feel this way: “there is not a lot of wife left in me after being a mother all day” hope it helps u too xx

Nope I'm exactly the same me n my husband last had sex when I was 12wks pregnant n my son is now 4.5mths old so I'm sure you can do the math?? Lol I just don't have any sex drive but I love him to bits n still find him very attractive x

I have no drive but unfortunately after starting birth control and my cycle is now regular, but due to that now when I’m on my period is when my drive likes to go up

I'm on the same boat and feel pressured completely because my fiance gets all.fuckin stupid if I don't

Nope I feel the same

Feel the same. Baby girl is 8 month now. Hope this changes soon and I am back to normal again.

I have zero libido!! I don't know if it's because I'm breastfeeding but I've only slept with my partner twice and my baby is 4 and a half months old 😬 he doesn't pressure me at all but flirts with me all the time and I know he has needs so that's the only reason I have and not because I felt like it 🤣
