Missing my sex drive

Dude my sex drive hasn't come back yet lol it sucks! But I'm hoping after the first year it will get better. Every woman is different don't ever feel guilty about this. Your body is going thru an amazing thing

I didn’t have any either, as well as post birth. But after talking to my doctor I went on birth control and it did come back!

It takes a while your going through a lot of hormone changes. What we started doing was going on exclusive date nights. No phones and just two of us talking. That slowly changed things for us.

It was the same for me until after my first postpartum period! It will get better im sure Don’t stress it makes it worse!

I have zero sex drive pregnant and postpartum, my husband and I still do it once every week or so though because I know it helps him feel loved and wanted and I can still get into it after the initial feeling of dreading wanting to start part💀 there’s not much you can do to fix it unfortunately but I found when I start to workout postpartum and especially when I stop BF it comes back a bit

I was sex repulsed for my entire pregnancy, and pretty much immediately after giving birth my sex drive came back, which was a really strange experience. 5 weeks in and it’s balancing out back to more my normal, but I think it’s normal for sex drive to change a lot with all the hormones and body changes

Zero sex drive until I stopped breastfeeding when baby turned 14 months and i got my first period back. Still put out 2x a week for my daughters sake so he wouldn't leave us but it took the life out of me

@Amirah im sorry did u say u put out so ur hubby wouldn’t leave you???

This did concern me a bit to read. Lack of physical intimacy and sex can be hard on a relationship but if you fear someone will leave do to this and are sacrificing your mental health (and physical health) that’s not okay. My husband and I talked about it being hard with our differing drives at the moment but if I was ever made to feel I needed to have sex “or else” that’s a red flag in the relationship

Yeah that makes my heart break for her

@Karly Yes??? Lol. If he stopped paying bills for 14 months I'd leave too. I can't shirk on wifely duties if I wouldn't accept him shirking on man duties.. I just feel like it would be hypocritical but that's just my take on my own relationship

@Amirah I mean if ur happy then that’s good. But I wouldn’t be happy if I felt pressured to have sex.. especially if I just had a baby and I wasn’t up to it. That’s just me though. If you’re good with it then that’s good.

Having sex shouldn’t be labeled a duty. :/
