Postpartum Intimacy

Try to ease your mind try taking a nice relaxing bath try looking at your self as tell your self damn I'm beautiful it just might help

Since I had to be cut down there to have my little girl I'm still healing. I do intament things with him to satisfy his needs and it works out for us. Might also be the fact my husband has never looked at me differently since getting pregnant and having the baby. I sometimes look at myself and get self conscious but remember that it's well worth it because my daughter is my everything

Personally my libido is on and off. Some days I’m feeling ready but other days I’m dry as a desert. For me I noticed when I feel good about myself and not sleep deprived my libido is high

Hormones and sleep deprivation make it tough. Got back to normal about 13-14 months postpartum for me. Talk to your husband about it so he knows what’s going on

he’s not completely deprived in that area 😅 just wondering when others started feeling somewhat “back to normal” about it

I got mine back around 3 months pp.
We slowly went into it, and we would try to do a little more each time. We started this around 6 weeks pp (when I got the all-clear), and we had to use a lubricant to help with vaginal dryness from breastfeeding. I also didn't like to be touched around my areas because well... my breasts were for my baby and my area down there just had a baby, so I wasn't 100% confident and comfortable yet, but we slowly eased into getting comfortable, and I finally am back to how I was.
Take your time, take it slow, and don't feel like you need to force yourself to do what you're not ready to do.

So glad someone is addressing this on here. I’m six months pp and thought it was just me and that I was just doomed in that department. Glad there’s a reason for it and that it Isn’t just me experiencing this. When I do get myself to have sex in order to please him and not be completely withholding I think it’s amazing. But I’m not usually in the mood to do it. 😓

We had sex as soon as 6 week Pp hit and it’s been great since like the sexual chemistry has been there. I think I’m really lucky

I would get your vitamin levels checked out. A lot of times we can be supper deficient after birth and that can take a big hit on our libido. I had mine checked after my last baby and it helped a lot. Obviously there can be a bunch of other factors of low libido pp but that’s at least what helped mine

I know breastfeeding takes a toll on libido and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon but I hadn’t thought of checking for vitamin deficiencies. Good idea!

🥵

2 year 11 months and the non existent libido is still going strong! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 (he does get it by the way, but only out of necessity) X

😭😂

Can totally relate, I eased back into it by
Getting hubby to give me massages with massage oil. That way I could relax into it but also have some fun! Do what your comfortable with but be honest!

I’m 10 months PP and me & my partner have done it once or twice and I feel terrible but I just don’t want to he touched! I of course satisfy him but I want us to get back to how we was!

Honestly after my first I wasn’t confident I had to mourn what use to be and talk to him. I wanted to
Embrace the freak that use to be we tried lingerie and that helped and also went away that helped too bc I was in another place to not be in my head it gets better I promise. Gotta remember you’re no longer the old you just embrace the mommianna version of you💛sending get ya freak on vibes your way🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😎😎

12 weeks is still really early to expect to feel back to normal. A lot just happened to your body. Give yourself more time to get used to your new body and life. At 12 weeks pp I was so tired all the time, the last thing I wanted was sex. I wanted a nap.

very true.. I just kept hearing about women who couldn’t wait for the 6 week check up to have sex and then here I was feeling like I could go the rest of my life without it 😅
