SEX

I am 6 month postpartum and for the past 2 months when me and my husband have been intimate I have not been able to finish. No matter what I try. Is like I do want to be with him and I do get arroused but as soon as we’re doing it like in the middle of it the feeling just goes away. He is doing everything that I like is just me idk why the feeling just goes away. I am still attracted to him. I have also tried masturbation and is the same thing. Like what is going on. I am getting so annoyed with myself because sex is a big part of our marriage. I mean he still enjoys it and makes me feel wanted but I am the problem. We are not intimate everyday is mostly the weekend when he is off because he works night shift during the week so he sleeps most of the day.Has anyone else gone thru something similar

Have you tried a vibrator?

Are you thinking about other things... like the baby or all the household chores that you think you should be doing instead? I'm not postpartum but I find if I start thinking about other things I usually can't finish, no matter how much I was enjoying it. 😫 The joys of adulting and racing brains.

Also, pelvic strength might be an issue. Do your kegels and swats, etc and my physiotherapist said they can help with orgasms and to be honest my orgasms have improved since I’ve been doing them. Good luck 🤞

Are you breast feeding? When you breast feed estrogen levels go down - that is directly linked to your sexual appetite - it’s normal to not fancy it after giving birth and breast feeding - well at least , that’s what happened to me.

Honestly ever since I have been postpartum with my second child my drive has been completely gone. I'm still intimate with him and I still enjoy it, but oddly I never actually crave it anymore.

I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one. My baby is 6 months old and my drive is gone. Honestly it's been gone since I was about 4 months pregnant. I don't even want to be looked at... like I get irritated. But we are no longer together so I guess it doesn't really matter. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you ladies I was feeling like I was the only one hopefully it passes soon ❤️

That happened to me for a little while too I can't remember how long it lasted but trust me it goes back to normal after a while
