Intimacy with partners
Show your support
We are bed sharing and EBF and I would say we are now flirting with the idea of sex 3 months in… we have not had the time, energy or inclination (my side - my body just feels so ugly right now)… but things seem to be levelling out ( though I still feel massive ) and I can see the possibility of having sex while baby naps in his basket sometime in the near future. Think it’s important not to pressure yourself and neither should your partner. Our bodies don’t even start menstruating till we start weaning off breastfeeding ( but you can still get pregnant!) - basically your breeding instinct (large part of sex drive ) is switched off right now as your body is focused on sustaining new life!
Non existent right now 🤣
We are sleeping together and have been since I had the all clear from my pelvic floor check at 6 weeks. I don’t initiate as much as I would like tbh because I’m tired a lot but probably once a week ish my husband will initiate and I nearly always reciprocate when he does because I always enjoy it once we’ve got going 😂 I’ve been lucky with how fast I’ve recovered tho I think. I’m EBF but baby in next to me not bed sharing. We take our moments when baby is napping elsewhere normally
@Beth Did you actually get a physical check at 6 weeks? At the normal 6-8 week check with the GP?
It is not the same, its different now.
